Didn’t see this coming. Another Senate race to watch closely. Lindsey Graham spent years acting like South Carolina belonged to him. The voters might have other plans. Dr. Annie Andrews is at 45%, and among informed voters, she leads Graham 46% to 43%.

It's July 2nd. A federal judge set this deadline for Blanche to release the unredacted Epstein Files. No surprise. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED, and NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. I'm so sick of this shit.

Just felons havin' fun! 🤬

Extracting wealth is not creating wealth. These people are economic parasites.

As if.

‼️ North Carolina GOP officials are pressuring local election boards to reject early voting sites on college campuses before the midterms. It’s not the only way they’re working to restrict early voting for the November elections. https://bit.ly/4aycTvo

Remember the reason as you celebrate the season.

Your menu options have not changed. Stop lying.

Revenge isn’t enough, I want their fitted sheet to keep popping off

THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM — BRAVERY Before the attacks & the hot takes start, a few facts: Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan… 🧵

I never feel older than when I am tapping my credit card on random parts of the chip reader at the store.

Chief Justice John Roberts' legacy is a far-right Supreme Court that prioritizes expanding corporate power above all else. I warned of his right-wing nature when I testified against his nomination in 2005.

This is Nala. She thought your face had disappeared. Turns out it was behind your hands the whole time. Incredible. 12/10 (IG: goldennala27)

Trump purchased stock worth between $1 million and $5 million each across a suite of tech companies — Broadcom, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia — on July 23, 2025, the same day the White House rolled out its "AI Action Plan."

The GOP-fostered uninsurance crisis is growing faster than a newborn volcano, one that will do grave harm to those directly affected and later this year will begin spewing its molten crap on everyone. www.nationalmemo.com/current-heal...

The MeidasTouch News found safety data sheets that revealed the Reflecting Pool is lined with a material that is "toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects." The lining was put in as part of Trump's $14 million renovations. www.rawstory.com/reflecting-p...

U.S. @pocan.house.gov (D-WI) interrogates OMB Director Russell Vought on the human toll of defunding USAID: POCAN: "Morally, isn't it wrong to facilitate the death of children?" VOUGHT: "I'm not gonna answer that question."

Everyone knows that Jesus hated the poors. Also, minorities. Blech. Not to mention those retched war widows. Again, this is all common knowledge if you’re an actual believer.

The court does NOT get credit for carving out illogical exceptions to it unitary execuctive maddness to protect its Leo Leonard overlords

Oz probably just sees all those people with fake health insurance plans.

Okay, it does use lithium, but it’s not a liquid electrolyte, I’m a nurse not a battery engineer, but the info is compelling

Old enough to recognize this as a data center

Since we're not doing separation of church and state anymore, when can we expect the churches to start paying taxes?

It's crazy how we have America 250 this year, and almost no one cares about it because this regime has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events.

NEW: Trump admitted he thinks lowering housing costs is “so unimportant.” Voters deserve to know. Watch our latest ad:

The whole rest of the world is making great progress with renewable energy while the US insists on sucking up to the oil companies and making the US a dried-up country, choking on pollution and becoming a shithole.
