We’re not talking nearly enough about the sitting president of the United States sending our troops to die in a war while aligning our country with the dictator helping to kill them.

"It's an honor to be denigrated by the President. I'm an expert in investigating sex crimes. I teach internationally. I've arrested hundreds of p*dophiles. There's a reason why Trump doesn't want me in Congress." #mtpol Full NewsNation interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjH_...

A naked, gold-covered Trump statue has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It’s called “Orange Plague,” also known as “King of Injustice,” and shows him sitting on another man’s shoulders holding an enormous golf club. Covered in reportedly 23-karat gold, of course.

We overcame one Gilded Age and we can overcome this one. Time for a new square deal like TR’s 3 C’s: Corporate control, Consumer protection and Conservation of natural resources. Happy Labor Day.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.

James Talarico's latest political ad – hilarious, accurate, and effective. A must watch. The whole world knows Ken Paxton is squirming.

I’m sure he wanted to prove voter fraud happens. So no har done right? 🙄

It’s not a settlement of a law suit. That would require a real conflict. An adversarial proceeding.

Reminder: The commerce secretary apparently still hasn’t come clean on his connection with Epstein.

This tariff ruling is causing considerable confusion. But one thing is clear. 100% of any tariff refunds will be paid to corporations that passed on increased costs to consumers. We paid the tariffs. They will get the refund. Prices won't come back down. The people will get screwed yet again.

Someone made him mad so toddler in chief is gonna knock the whole game board off the table. Trump says he will raise global tariff rate from 10% to 15% - www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Huh! Imagine that!! Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office over ties to Epstein apnews.com/article/brit...

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

“I will not be silenced!” Don Lemon smashes Trump's DOJ after his release from jail and indictment over Minnesota reporting. www.ms.now/news/don-lem...

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Cautiously optimistic the 2A set is pulling an Avengers move here in defense of the Constitution. Douglas County CO is Lauren Boebert’s District by the way, a MAGA congresswoman who along with infamously being a patron of the arts was the proprietor of “Shooters Grill” with an open carry gimmick.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

“Don’t worry. A presidential pardon only costs about $1 million.” Juan Hernandez to Nicolas Maduro probably.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Pete Hegseth says he’s going to court-martial me for saying the same exact thing he said 9 years ago. What changed for Pete? Well to start, he spends all day thinking about how he can suck up to Trump. When Trump says jump, he says how high.

UPDATE: Since launching our own methane-tracking satellite earlier this year, California has helped close 10 large methane leaks in our state. That pollution reduction is roughly the same as taking 18,000 gas-powered cars off the road for an entire year.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

500 years of colonialism, industrial extraction and exploitation have pushed ecosystems and the Indigenous peoples who depend on them to the brink. But never underestimate Nature’s ability to heal, if we let it. #ClimateSky “The river seemed to come alive almost instantly after dam removal...” 1/5
