Not one pundit has the courage to say that parking the National Guard in a major blue city, with tensions running high and easy access to weapons leads to today's tragedy. This is Mango Mussolini's doing

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Every day story of the criminal injustice system

Only a pig will sit down acting like he is more important than the man standing. When is the pig going away for good?

Newsome rocks

Trump’s net worth has grown by $3 billion since he took office. That’s not a coincidence.

Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson—who sets the agenda for the state Senate—is almost solely responsible for stymieing efforts to redraw the congressional districts in his state. And because of that, he's not the progressive darling he used to be.

The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

The silence of congressional Republicans to all the Trump corruption - from his disgusting pardons, to the UAE crypto money, to the Qatari jet, and the ballroom, should be used against all of them in midterms along with their silence on tariffs which has made things unaffordable.

SCOTUS reform MUST be a plank in the next Democratic platform

Last year. This year. @cnbc.com

"Mamdani is not a warning shot; he is a sign of things to come. Dem voters everywhere want transformative change. They’re furious at party’s leaders and suspicious of candidates backed by an establishment that gets everything wrong," writes @alexshephard.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2027...

Mamdani extending the middle finger to Mango Mussolini is absolutely delish

All 17 Constitutional amendments in Texas are set to pass. To get on the ballot, they needed 2/3 support in the House, meaning at least 12 Democrats to support. Serious conversations are needed about how nearly half of these even made it onto the ballot. Time to start holding our own accountable

This is what a leader leading sounds like.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is absolutely brilliant

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

so it turns out that fascism is unpopular

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

It's actually insane that the feds are promising to put more than double the amount of money they're putting into childcare, into AI. Why not just set it on fire and dance around it hoping to sway the gods to our favour?

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇 When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

I sure am enjoying No Kings 3 tonight.

Tonight should be a good reminder to Senate Democrats they better not cave.

This 👇 💯

If you thought your electric bill jumped a lot in this Trump administration, it’s because it did! What you didn’t know is that they are jacking your electricity prices on purpose to reward big donors with big bucks.

Thousands of new jobs. Medicaid expansion. Medical debt relief. Improved public education. Revitalized rural communities. These are just a few of Roy Cooper's accomplishments for North Carolina. Imagine what he can do in the U.S. Senate. Elect Democrat Roy Cooper U.S. Senate, North Carolina

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

Just cut the crap Meghan. Stop lying. We don’t like your extremist ideology-yes that’s true. But we are not the animals running around shooting people. That’s your own team. You want to unite as a nation? Stop being a self-absorbed, lying, whiny baby, and tell your team to stop with the violence!

If Michael Moore got assassinated in 2004, I don’t think you’d see any red state governors lowering the flag for him The asymmetry of American politics

We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was. But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

Governor of Utah is praying for the Kirk family but wants the death penalty when the perp is located. These are disgusting people

The warning isn’t about equivalence; it’s about a tactic. Authoritarians turn death into myth, grief into mobilization, they are experts at turning funerals into furnaces. Resist the myth-making.

No one believes anything coming out of an FBI headed by Kash Patel. A total lie. www.thedailybeast.com/charlie-kirk...

I was writing a column on assaults on college free speech when I heard the news about Charlie Kirk. Then I watched the hypocrisy as the same Republicans passing laws to crush academic freedom praised the often toxic Kirk as an avatar of free expression My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/char...

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

Wow! Covid vaccine development and delivery cost $79.4 billion, but the health and economic benefits of vaccination were valued between $4.83 trillion–$37.8 trillion. A return on investment of $59.8–$475 per dollar invested!! This is why vaccine equity matters! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

I dunno, maybe the Supreme Court majority could have the decency to bestir themselves to write an actual, you know, opinion, with their names on it, explaining their endorsement of using race and ethnicity as part of a national policy of harassing and intimidating non-white Americans.

Mike Johnson: “It was a mistake to say President Trump was a confidential FBI informant. He was actually an undercover agent for the KGB.”

Let's be clear about something: Rand Paul said that a gay CDC director's "lifestyle" disqualified him from working in government . . . . . . But Paul had no problem voting to confirm RFK Jr., who had 43 mistresses, was a longtime heroin user, and said a worm ate his brain.

In 1900, nearly 1 in 5 children in America died before age five. Vaccines changed that. But Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s lies are fueling a public health catastrophe. People will get sick. People will die. Science saves lives—misinformation kills.

Please share: My name is David Costello. I am a lifelong Mainer and Democrat running against Susan Collins. I too am concerned. I am concerned with endless decisions Susan Collins has made. We need to turn a page, retire Susan and take back the US Senate. Please watch and share:

MAGA family members are brainwashed. Either they are mentally ill or too racist, misogynist and homophobic to deal with. Being shunned is the price of cult membership and bigotry. Educate yourself MAGA or suffer

Happy Labor Day! California is proud to be ranked the #1 state for workers. We’re leading the nation with strong wage standards, worker protections, and labor rights that make our communities, businesses, and families stronger.
