Want to see THE BEST Eagles tribute band? Do yourself a favor, see Eaglemania. I saw them recently and it was killer: great musicians; great performers; & really great guys. The venue was sold out & I can see why. Thank you to Ron & the guys. Looking forward to their next swing through the DC area.

To Be Fair,AOC Is Always Fighting, On Our Behalf.......

I have been a vocal critic of gerrymandering. But the Supreme Court has unleashed the Republican Party on a gerrymandering spree. Democrats must respond in kind, removing any incentive for Republican states to gerrymander. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

AOC on the decision in Virginia: “This was an election of 3 million Americans. This court did not overturn a map… it overturned an election.

Pretty sure the world does not need me to have an opinion on this so I am mostly interested in hearing what others think about it

"So what needs to happen now - and it needs to happen now - is that Democrat-led states need to set aside procedure and redraw the maps. New York, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Maryland, and Colorado need to get it done. Do it in 2026 if possible. By 2028 is non-negotiable."

Virginia is "a wakeup call to Democrats across the country - in NJ, NY, MD, IL, OR, WA, CO - this is the time to start fighting back... Republicans don't believe that Democrats have the right to exist. If we don't start fighting back, we're going to good government ourselves into obscurity."

Caroline Sunshine: "So you're against diluting voting power?" BTC: "I'm against gerrymandering." CS: "Do you support then illegal immigrants being allowed to vote in elections?" BTC: "Illegal immigrants don't vote in federal elections."

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES

Just to prove a point, who else believes that Donald Trump is a rapist? ✋🏽

I can’t stress enough how enormous this news is 🔥

"I feel that there's a need for accountability... by investigations and ultimately impeachment and removal of this criminal president. And, that's where I come in. As a lawyer who's litigated and conducted investigations for 3 decades here in New York, I think I have a special talent for that.

The White House account posted like authoritarian fan fiction, so I fixed the captcha. Every square qualifies.

While you can’t afford a trip for your family this summer, you just paid for Sean Duffy’s 7-month road trip at $4.55 per gallon of gas.

It’s Back to the Future in Memphis- and no, this is not a movie, Marty McFly will not be the lead character. This is about real life history.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito leaned on an erroneous claim that Black voter turnout now tops white voter turnout, in his Callais v. Louisiana ruling that gutted the Voting Rights Act, reports The Guardian. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

eff off, it's time for a generational change in Democratic leadership and this colicky fossilized dinosaur ain't it

You know what theft and rampant corruption looks like? Taxpayers paying for trashy scumbag Sean Duffy’s 7 month family vacation as he filmed a series about their cross-country road trip. The grifting never ends from the assholes who call child cancer research wasteful spending.

Locals in Toronto banded together to raise money for a Cobbler whose industrial sewing machine broke — so he could stay open #Canada

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

There are some hard truths here, and every Democrat needs to watch this segment. African Americans are being targeted because we are the most consistent Democratic voting bloc. The GOP knows this. Every Democrat must start speaking with one voice about court reform. 🧵

Watch the pattern, not the headlines. The next six months could bring distraction campaigns, fear narratives, media spectacles, investigations, and procedural warfare. None of this will be random. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

I was raped. That's a lot to share & it's something I only 1st spoke of a few years ago, but it's why reproductive freedom is important to me. I want a representative brave enough to talk about her experiences as a woman & that's why I support @e-stherforcongress.bsky.social

Wait. Is this true? If it is, I love it for them! 🤭😅🤣

Lawyer for U.S. citizen who was detained by ICE 3 times: ICE is just rounding up people based on how they look without any reason to suspect that they've done anything wrong. Even when a citizen shows ID, they're put into handcuffs.

Baby squirrel melts in human hands: the neuroscience of tactile pleasure shared by all mammals

Marjorie Taylor Green isn’t a known antisemite because she criticizes Israel, she’s a known antisemite because of all the talk about secret cabals, Jewish space lasers, Great Replacement theory, and Jews killing Jesus. Hope this helps some leftists who are mad at AOC for being right about her today

What does it cost our Humanity to look the other way when Women, Children, and Young Men of promise are ripped off the street and disappeared? What does it cost us as a Society, to normalize such barbarism? - Alexandria Ocasio- Cortez (D- New York) - May 8, 2026.

I left the GOP. I know how MAGA operates. Now I'm running to stop them in Congress. Stand with me now: gc4ny.com/I-Know-Them

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old fashioned, but maybe just maybe, bragging about kicking people off food stamps while telling them to pay for a billion dollar ballroom at the same time is a losing electoral strategy. But what do I know.

Here are some of the most dramatic and powerful examples of how Black Americans — from elected officials to ordinary voters — have responded to the wave of GOP gerrymanders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Many congressmen pretend to have been briefed about “inside information” regarding UFOs. They are always the weird ones too that no one hangs out with. They have NO special information . We don’t know any more than everyone else. If someone pretends they do, they don’t.

RETIRE CHUCKLES! 🤡

In Italy, Charlotte de Witte threw a free 20,000-people rave in Genova. Organized by the City of Genoa and supported by Mayor Silvia Salis, who was also dancing backstage, the event is part of a wider campaign to bring music back into urban spaces. This is what your government could do for you.

Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “A political lynching… an era of retribution… what just happened in Tennessee was the largest and most swift disenfranchisement of Black people in a century.” #Memphis @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

Do your neighbors know that their kids are in danger? Do they know that US Citizens are being ABDUCTED & BRUTALIZED by ICE officials. Do they think its just a pendulum swinging back & forth, or do they they realize that fascism is descending upon us? If not, show them the #ICELawlessness. Thread🧵

Sen. Ron Johnson claims preposterously that as many as 3.9 MILLION (!!!) Americans died as a result of the covid vaccine Complete insanity

This place is amazing. Make an appointment to see it here: trumpsonian.us

As gas prices skyrocket and some are resorting to public transit to get to and from work.... the Transportation Secretary took a road trip to film a reality tv show... during a government shutdown.

I know that in the Bible, religious people ended up abandoning God and mindlessly worshiping a golden calf, so it shouldn’t be surprising that so many today are now bowing down to this orange jack*ss. It’s just more terrifying seeing it this close... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/its-time-t...

Oopsie poopsie 🤭🤭 He’s such a blundering buffoon he can’t even swindle for the oil industry w/out it completely backfiring. Energy Agency Director Fatih Birol told The Guardian that, "almost overnight," foreign leaders lost faith in fossil fuels.” #Pinks #ProudBlue
