Alternet: Trump is underwater on inflation, cost of living, immigration & Iran. The broader electorate is plainly exhausted by him, the still very high price of a gallon of gas, and the bread and eggs he promised to make cheaper on Day 1 of his second term. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Mamdani: "Govt efficiency — these are words that somehow have been understood as if they are R priorities, when in fact they're priorities of anyone who believes in the public sector. Any yet, Elon Musk used it to cut as many jobs that were as critical as possible for so many of the neediest people"

I lived in this area for 32 years and never saw anything like this. This is a direct impact of climate change.

Wanna know a secret? MAGA is hemorrhaging voters. The paid shills are trying to keep sanewashing this, but there’s a reason Trump’s primary performance doesn’t translate to general elections: His base is shrinking, and voters are tired of the bullshit.

James Talarico responded to the latest faux scandal: "I’m an eighth-generation Texan. I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment. And if all they have on me is lying about me being a vegan, I feel pretty good about our chances this November."

BREAKING: Ethics complaint just filed against Pam Bondi — & it's damning She ran DOJ like a weapon — & now 100+ scholars, retired judges & retired FL Supreme Court Chief Justice Peggy Quince — joined by @democracydefendersfund.org @ldadorg.bsky.social & LFRL — are holding her accountable -TN

You Can't Make This Shit Up.......!

“Food is going to become less affordable.” Economists warn El Niño and the Iran war haven’t yet fully hit US food prices, which were already rising www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Check out the deleted Republican ad on THEIR OWN corrupt nominee, Ken Paxton. Vote Talarico for a safer, fairer Texas.

This is incredible. Absolute cinema.

In the end, James Talarico and Democrats got the matchup they had been salivating over for months. Within two hours of Ken Paxton's GOP primary win, Talarico had hauled in $600,000 — the strongest two hours of his entire campaign. Recent internal polling shows he has a 7-point lead against Paxton.

Texas is controlled by Republicans. governor. Statewide offices. State legislature. Ken Paxton is the Attorney General of Texas. He's a Republican Yet not only did they indict him-they IMPEACHED him Do you know how corrupt you must be for your own party to impeach you Really, really corrupt

Clarence B. Jones, one of the organizers of the 1963 March on Washington where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered an epic speech, has died.

And there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.

This math is mathin'.

Gift article. Thank you. "The third surprising thing about Trump’s impending defeat is that even he himself seems never to have understood why he went back to war against Iran." Yes, recommend it.

This gathering includes DNI Tulsi Gabbard, as well all of Trump's top officials. Since he doesn't enjoy visiting Camp David, I can only guess that secrecy, away from the prying eyes of the media and the public, is his main motivation here.

We have THE BEST justice system that money can buy. 💰😾🦇

Expand the court.

Developing: President Trump was inside the White House and is safe. No reports of injuries to him or protectees.

Wait, so Howard Lutnick is just straight up bribing House Republicans now? Now we know what the price of child sexual abuse is for these goblins… a paltry $5 million.

How is this farce of a do nothing government still going on? It's as if the system that protects incompetent white men and women in power was built to protect incompetent white men and women to stay in power.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

As many as 7 in 10 of the rooms reserved by FIFA in Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Seattle have been canceled, the American Hotel Association says. Oops.

One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. It's cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants—and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it.

MSM here is a story. WE know TRump is too stupid to make his stock trades. He has brokers for that. Why not investigate them’. How are they getting the inside information. NOW THATS A STORY

Wow, the Supreme Court's third and final decision is Hamm v. Smith, a case about the execution of mentally disabled people—but the court simply dismisses it as improvidently granted. Thomas and Alito dissent. Count this as a win—the 8th Amendment survives. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Using 2007 as a year in your argument to set as the marker of why this stuff is happening and then saying: must be the smartphones , is…… I….. Ok tell me tho: what else happened right around that time

California friends, if you haven’t voted, I urge you to watch Jasmine Crockett’s endorsement of Xavier Becerra. It’s everything. And check back later. I was able to ask both Becerra and Crockett additional questions that I think matter. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @xavierbecerra.bsky.social
