My vote would be for @davidcostello.bsky.social, especially if GP sinks. More pesos would flow David's way, more scrutiny on his solid background of being USAID and involved in politics for a while, and just overall a good, honest, man. www.costelloforsenate.com #MEpolitics is the tag Mainers use.

ICE let woman rot in overcrowded jails with broken toilets in New England and Louisiana for months without ever giving her the custody hearing its own rules require www.universalhub.com/2026/ice-let... #immigrants

“the least baggage” is putting it mildly

Trump is politicizing our civil service by making senior policy advisers at-will employees. The spoils system is back. Goodbye independence and expertise. www.npr.org/2026/06/03/n...

🗣️NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte speech at the background of attacked Lukyanivka neighborhood in Kyiv!

I shared my vision for a better New Mexico in all 33 counties, and together, all 33 counties showed they share a vision for lower costs, accessible healthcare, safe communities, and better education. . This is what’s possible when you show up and leave no community behind.

NEW: Ballroom donors have won more than $50B in government contracts according to watchdog group @publiccitizen.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Kelly: What are the American people getting out of this conflict with Iran right now? Iran wasn’t about to develop a nuclear weapon. Their enrichment went up because Donald Trump tore up the JCPOA. So this conflict is of Donald Trump’s doing and making.

The whole point is that he is unqualified and will make us less safe. This isn’t a glitch. It’s the design. The US is to bend to its rivals abroad and collapse from within. For this he is the right guy! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Trump’s policy communications director has announced that she's leaving the White House to go to work for Kalshi.

Under current law, tech companies and data brokers are free to collect, analyze, store, and sell our most personal data for profit. And they are doing it every day. We need our lawmakers to enact strong, enforceable data privacy law to protect us all from harm. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/04/b...

I want to give a huge thank you to the NY Liberty @wnba.com team for choosing @aapf.org as a partner for this year’s Commissioner’s Cup. I couldn’t make it to game 1 but waking up to my favorite players holding copies of #Backtalker was AMAZING. Congrats on the Game 1 win ❤️

Senate Republicans just started a marathon voting session known as vote-a-rama in the Senate. Not to improve your life. Not to lower your costs. But to funnel $70 billion more to ICE and the abuses I saw at Delaney Hall. Not another dime.

Since becoming Mayor, Zohran Mamdani has successfully navigated a historic blizzard, cracked down on bad landlords, balanced the city budget, won a tax on the rich, and now overseen a Knicks Finals Game One win. New York is entering a new golden age under sewer socialism.

Fannie Lou Hamer is one of my main inspirations. If you don't know her story, listen:

The Strait of Hormuz, which Iran owns thanks to Trump, is 270 times as long as the reflecting pool.

I tried to donate a car to Habitat for Humanity but they've outsourced their donation program to a 3rd-party, that sells to an auction house that then sells to used car dealers. Habitat gets little or nothing which defeats the entire purpose of donating to them. Enshittification of everything.

Elizabeth Warren grilled Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent over Trump’s 3,400 stock trades worth $250 million, including Nvidia, Robinhood, and BNY buys tied to policy moves. Bessent dodged while Warren called it self-enrichment, not public service.

I've worked in Democratic digital comms for a long time and pay attention to campaign metrics across platforms. Increasingly I'm seeing Dems who crosspost on X, Bluesky, and Threads get better engagement on Bluesky even with far fewer followers. Here's @jamestalarico.bsky.social's clip last night:

- story leaks - White House calls it fake news - Trump confirms the initial story - White House pretends they never denied it - repeat

Josh Barro: "John Fetterman and Graham Platner both flailed into adulthood, living off their affluent parents while not amounting to much. Why have leftists decided this is a good resume for the U.S. Senate?" open.substack.com/pub/joshbarr...

It's well past time for states to start ignoring the rulings of this illegitimate court.

No wonder Trump endorsed Tom Kean, he likes the model of not showing up for work.

This is untenable. You can’t have a “ceasefire” where missiles are launched every day and civilians are being killed at airports. Rubio told Congress the war was over *yesterday* The administration needs to be honest with the American people. This is pathetic.

Would CA electing billionaire, and longtime political donor, Steyer have been an "anti-establishment" development? Becerra and Bass surge in California as anti-establishment fever breaks

A plus side for progressives: Hamawy, a doctor who treated people in Gaza, looks likely to win out in #NJ12. He also had the backing of AOC. One asterisk: He largely won because of a split field and none of the other candidates could muster support outside their home base.

Welp there’s no unseeing this

Smart people do smart things.

@muellershewrote.com This is unreported elsewhere, but Adam's reporting is always well-researched, fact-based and does a team's worth of investigative reporting on a shoestring budget.

We’ve helped 223,000 New Yorkers maintain access to their SNAP benefits, but there are 40,000 New Yorkers who are still at risk of losing their food assistance. No one in the wealthiest city in the richest country on Earth should go hungry. Call 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669) to protect your benefits.

BREAKING: Trump just appointed Bill Pulte, the man who tried to take down Letitia James and Lisa Cook with bogus mortgage fraud claims, to be acting Director of National Intelligence.

Two things can be true at the same time I.e. ….Israel is committing a genocide and there is nothing Anti-Semitic by pointing that out

lol… it’s like clockwork. Stock market about to open? WE’RE CLOSE TO A DEAL!!

The World Cup teams are warming up, and so are our affordability initiatives. We worked with @governor.ny.gov & others to secure a $25 price tag on 2,500 tickets for this weekend’s pre-World Cup ‘friendly’ matches at roadto26.com/nynj — and Sunday’s match is already sold out!

A week or so ago, I was looking for a couple books by an author from 10 and 15 years ago and my library didn't have them. I requested them via a library form. Today I got a notification in Libby that they purchased both titles. Asking your library for writers' books is an amazing way to support us.

Netanyahu has crossed every red line of international law. HRW and the ICC have documented unlawful attacks on civilians, including white phosphorus strikes. At some point the world has to stop “expressing concern” and start issuing handcuffs

How could he Possibly have 34% approval?!? “Now the UFC fighters are starting to withdraw from the event! I guess when your approval rating drops to 34%, no one wants to fight on your front lawn for your birthday.”

Betcha didn't know David Costello, an eminently qualified candidate, is running against Platner in Maine.

Cool,Cuz We Can't Get Enough Of Mayor Mamdani.......👏🏻

So true it hurts

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

This is something I always bring up when I’m registering people to vote. If you’re not registered and don’t vote, they can ignore you. If your whole neighborhood isn’t registered and/or doesn’t vote, they can ignore your whole neighborhood.

Tomorrow is Election Day, New Mexico!

Indiana told the public it gave less than $1 million in data center subsidies in 2025. The real number? $655 million. And $561 million of that went to a single company: Amazon. While Hoosiers pay sales tax on groceries, Amazon paid nothing. This isn’t economic development. It’s a heist.

GOP pay attention

Renewables are READY. 🟢 Wind and solar already dominate new power capacity and beat fossil fuels on cost, with storage and smart grids keeping them reliable. 🟢 Clean, homegrown renewables can shield tens of millions from price shocks and energy blackmail.

Here are the top 5 dogs of May!
