We’re building real momentum across California. Now let’s finish strong. Vote by mail today or make your voice heard at the polls on June 2 🗳️

The Fighting for the California Dream tour is underway — and it’s been a true privilege to meet Californians of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. Across our state, people are showing up with hope and a shared belief that opportunity should belong to everyone. See you tonight, Sacramento!

It now costs $100 to fill up my Jeep with these prices, and every driver in Ohio right now is feeling a similar squeeze. The price of gas is completely unsustainable, and we need relief in Ohio. x.com/nbc4i/status...

Which of these has the more ironic name? "TRUTH" Social or Fox "NEWS" #WordsMatter

Hegseth's duck lips are on fleek this morning

Trump asked, “Who’s Curt?” while Indiana coach Curt Cignetti was literally standing beside him. You build your entire image around toughness, preparation, and accountability. Then you let yourself be turned into a prop by someone who doesn’t even know who you are.

Major update: White House lashes out at reporters who show Trump dozing off in Oval Office—calling them “morons.” Major Epstein news with big hearing tomorrow. UAE secretly strikes Iran, Trump suggests suspending gas tax, Pakistan helps Iran. Supreme Court green lights Alabama gerrymander.

Democracies usually die when mainstream actors fail their gatekeeping function. To every editor, judge, university president, law firm partner, and elected official reading this: your job description just got more important. To everyone else: your job is to make sure they do.

The use of “Election Integrity Army” was not accidental. If anyone thinks this guy isn’t capable of inciting his cult to disrupt polling locations in democratic areas, they really need to Google 1/6/2021 to remind themselves what he and his people are capable of, and then make a plan to vote EARLY!

GASLIGHTING 101 Trump: Sleepy Joe. Sleepy Joe. Sleepy Joe. You won't ever catch me falling asleep on camera. America: FCS! Trump's fallen alseep on camera in the Oval Office 𝘼𝙂𝘼𝙄𝙉. White House Staff: He's blinking you absolute morons So, napping is the new blinking. Got it.

TONE DEAF & A SLAP IN THE FACE Most Americans can barely afford to fill up their gas tank right now, and somehow, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy thought this was the perfect time to launch a whole-ass reality show about taking his own family on a road trip across America.

A racist president created a racist Supreme Court so racist GOP state governments can discriminate against their Black citizens “The..Southern state is expected to..drop the number of districts where Black voters comprise a majority..from two to one out of the state's seven US House districts”

Trump would be better suited as a shady contractor than President of the United States. 👀

Good morning, Resisters! While out with my dogs this morning, I walked through my first spider web of the year. I hate when that happens. Have a great day!💙 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

I am a nyc teacher and would love a camera for my classroom. My students have one camera to share to take pics for their psa action based research project. We need one more camera. Please repost. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Good 🌮 Tuesday morning, friends!! Here's a giggle to start the day with. Testing "mildly" positive in the medical world of disease isn't a thing. I don't think any of us would be surprised about another felon induced pandemic. At this rate it's almost expected. Have a day, y'all! #SheShed

The three-sentence genesis of Fox “News” is scarier than any science fiction story. bsky.app/profile/mind...

Horror and suspense writer Stephen King: Never mind the UFO files. Release the Epstein files. GOP Distraction Committee: Thanks for the suggestion. But we'll go with the UFO files.

California is lucky to have someone as experienced & highly qualified as Xavier Becerra for its next governor. State legislature, state AG, US Congress, HHS Secretary! Becerra understands how to get things done. We know because he’s done it. CALIFORNIA, MARK YOUR BALLOT FOR BECERRA & VOTE TODAY!

I cannot emphasize this enough: everything we are seeing right now with voting rights, and especially the racist gerrymandering we’re seeing in the South, makes complete sense if you remember it was all in Project 2025. This was part of the plan. It’s white supremacy and too many ignored it.

Trump is genuinely delighted with himself like a toddler who learned one insult at recess on the playground. QUIET, PIGGY.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES (infuriating sound) DAY 11 MAY 2026 THESE HORRIBLE TIMES THE INSANITY OF TRUMP His War of Choice THE AUDACITY Trump admitting to you due to his STUPIDITY gas prices are high ..Now will suspend gas tax..until..wait..WUT " This buffoon the Straits on life support 🤬MF

Roughly $59 million collected, and not a single confirmed customer has received a phone. And remember, this thing was supposed to be “Made in America.” But if it ever gets made at all, it’ll reportedly be made in China.

MAGA is melting down after buyers got an email confirming they will never get their Trump Phones, or even get their deposits back. An estimated 590,000 people reportedly paid a $100 deposit each. Trump knows his base is full of suckers, and they keep proving him right.

VIRGINIA TAKES MAPS TO SCOTUS Virginia put it to a VOTE and The People Said YES Virginia officials will now argue before Supreme Court!! Virginia Supreme Court trying to claim the process of the "Vote Yes" was invalid "a technicality " Now up to SCOTUS ! (ty @thejenniwren.teamlh.social

Thanks Trump.

“Cotton-picking hands” aimed at a Black man in 2026, and Republicans still have the nerve to ask why Black voters want nothing to do with the party of bigots. 📌 A host referred to Hakeem Jeffries as having “cotton-picking hands,” and Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans responded: “Yes to that.”

Widespread voter fraud is a FUCKING TRUMP MANUFACTURED MYTH Widespread voter fraud is a FUCKING TRUMP MANUFACTURED MYTH Widespread voter fraud is a FUCKING TRUMP MANUFACTURED MYTH

Trump is openly admitting gas prices are tied to instability with Iran that he ignited, which is fueling higher gas prices for Americans, while saying he’ll suspend the gas tax “until it’s appropriate” with no actual plan for when this ends and minimizing what Americans are spending at the pump.

Now This No Regulations & just building more..even larger People living within a half mile of an AI DATA CENTER all over our Country are reporting Dizziness, Nausea, Vertigo , & sleep disruption The cause is sound But not sound they can hear THE SOURCE IS INFRASOUND Horrendous..see below ⬇️

Alabama Republicans wasted $400,000 of your taxpayer money for a special session to protect their power. Not for affordability. Not for health care. Not for jobs. Remember this and vote. The primary is May 19th. #dougforalabama

I wake up pissed off everyday😠 Affordability is keeping Americans up at night and has become down right dangerous. Having to decide what to pay for, rent, food, gas, utilities or healthcare. Alabama let them hear your frustration VOTE @dougforalabama.bsky.social , he is fired up for you.

ICYMI Our Country's Reflecting Pool belongs to the American People Not Trump's Mar-a-Lardo swimming pool In 2012 the Reflecting Pool was completely rebuilt with sustainable water conservation features It had a tinted bottom. It was designed for a more "mirror calm" reflection of our monuments

Wow. This NYC pop up is 🔥 The Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is open as a public installation displaying all 3.5 million pages of the released and partially redacted Epstein files, printed and bound into 3,437 volumes. This shouldn’t just stay in NYC. Take it on the road.

#BecerraEra This is so important to me and a huge factor as to why I voted for @XavierBecerra — Did you know he strongly supports the disability community? 📌 As AG of California he established and oversaw the state's first Bureau of Disability Rights within the Civil Rights Enforcement Section.

This is fascinating! Within the last 10 years, a new circulation system in the human body (the interstitium) has been identified that could unite aspects of western medicine and Eastern medicine (acupuncture).

My take: Republicans are still benefiting from structural advantages, but we’re watching Trump drag his own party down in real time. Another few weeks of economic pain, Trump’s war, and ugly headlines, and these numbers could flip fast.

8 in 10 countries have named the United States the world’s number-one threat. allianceofdemocracies.org/democracy-pe...

Steve Hilton was a huge Brexit supporter. After Brexit, the UK had weaker growth, higher prices, trade barriers, labor shortages, small businesses buried in red tape, tension with neighboring countries, and years of political chaos. Don't let him do the same to California. Vote Becerra.

When Trump was asked about auditing Fort Knox: “We wanted to go and knock on their door.” My god, this man has no idea what’s going on.

Americans are struggling to afford gas, utilities, housing, and groceries. Trump put up a gold-leaf statue of himself at Doral that reportedly cost apx $450,000. For that price, it should at least look enough like him that people know who it is. Right now, even the statue is flattering him.

Pretty Disgusting America . But I remember the day Hussein came down... That was 2003 Midterms are coming

I stand with Tennessee Democrats ✊🏽
