Flipping this seat has to be our #1 priority every single day between now and November. If you’re with me, I need you to step up today. Please chip in here: jacksonformaine.com/join

There is a powerful movement of working class people in the state of Maine, and millions more across America who are ready to send a progressive fighter to the Senate. I’m in. We’re going to defeat Susan Collins. Maine deserves a Senator that will fight for working families.

#Platner resignation video. Hope you guys are proud of yourselves. part 1 of 5

I never had a teacher believe in me like this.

worth a listen youtu.be/OXqFxL7mOfY?...

your move, "fiscal conservatives" lol

Also reminds me of this great Mark Twain quote I love:

Free your mind. #oligarchy youtu.be/4S25FfbFw4M?...

man, the reckless ben / bricks and minifigs saga is really opening folks' eyes to the ongoing evils of qualified immunity. has @kenwhite.bsky.social weighed in yet?

no really, i’m serious, why am i paying taxes if a trillionaire is getting billions and billions of dollars from the government? i can’t stop asking myself this question…

The merger of Warner Bros and Paramount is not a done deal and remains under investigation by my office.

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

vote for my best friend Craig! He has promised to be Johnny Depp's AA sponsor if he wins!!! peoplesartist.org/2026/craig-m...

Welp there’s no unseeing this

How can any member of Congress vote for a big budget increase for the Trump War Machine Pentagon when they go to absurd extremes to hide everything they are doing from the American people?

What is true of Platner today was true of Platner a month ago. He is a deeply flawed person who nevertheless is working his ass off and speaking in ways that appeal to Mainiacs (my mom, who was born there, told me I should call them that). Maine voters have been forgotten from this discussion.

lol

i genuinely hate how internet culture has become so normalized and widespread. i do not want a white house deputy chief of staff saying "it's white boy november" or a secretary of state tweeting that he's "locked in for this banger." grow up.

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

Sometimes on campus you accidentally walk by a Business class and the professor is writing like "profit = revenue - costs" on the board and everyone is taking notes like its actual school

lol

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

ICYMI: Hawaii became the first in the nation to reduce the influence of corporations and dark money groups trying to shape the state's elections.

Meta just paid its lowest ever effective tax rate, avoiding $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes thanks to tax breaks and loopholes. But starting this week, Meta will begin laying off 10% of its workforce. More than 8,000 people will lose jobs as it ramps up AI investment. Trickle down hoax.

He promised to release his tax returns as soon as there were no more audits pending, and now there are no more audits pending.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

1) Kevin O'Leary is following a 90-year history of right-wing propaganda calling out Communist, Russian, Chinese influence on liberal US movements. To be clear, foreign governments try to influence US politics all the time, but they do it across the board, giving money to pro-Palestinian groups as--

Marco plays with Markwayne, Tulsi plays with Pete Pete plays with Donald, Donald is happy again Susie plays with Russell, Bobby plays with Scott Stephen builds a bonfire, JD plays with it

I feel like we are living in the “Thiel and Andreessen Show”, and too many people have no idea. 1/

The less talked about horseshoe theory is not reactionary politics but aspirational victimhood In the same way the Right lusts for imaginary minorities to rob them so they can finally stand their ground and shoot them, parts of the Left lust for normies to reveal themselves as secret bigots at last

jesus. does anyone know who wrote this stump speech? was it primarily him? youtu.be/t5d8G2RHPyQ?...

citizens have an obligation to be involved and engaged in politics if they want to have a say in their lot, but the reason you feel so exhausted by the constant assault from opportunists is that our gov't (and our party) used to protect us from them and it no longer does.

is this what the majority of people want? I don't. also, this at 13:18 is spot on and profound: "that is a choice. it's not the nature of the ai technology itself." youtu.be/aooiDA-AsNo?...

I generally despise gossipy stuff like this (and 'royalty') but he is the king of england and his response is completely candid and informative.

how did their monitoring system not catch this? I'm calling bullshit on "connections the county didn't know existed". this had to have tripped so many wires.

Why haven't we heard from a SINGLE Democratic state about steps they're taking to counteract the post-VRA GOP power grabs in Louisiana and Alabama and South Carolina and Tennessee? Do you think this is going to fix itself? Why is it so fucking difficult for Democrats to fight back?

I have essential tremor. For years now, and it's progressive. Not a single medical professional in all those years ever used the word 'benign' when talking to me about essential tremor. None.

A lot of attention has been paid to the collapse of traffic to The Daily Wire and Ben Shapiro's YouTube channel. But other ragebait sites are also seeing huge drops in audience. According to The Righting, Outkick, The Federalist and The Blaze are down at least 48%. therighting.com/traffic-repo...

Heard Trump's remarks on his war on Iran this morning in the car. It appears we are at the "I have a secret plan to end the Vietnam War" level of cope.

Fun fact: I went to the 90th birthday party last night for my mentor & former employer Gar Alperovitz. He was one of the many conduits/smugglers of the Pentagon Papers that got the documents to journalists in 1971. He was never publicly identified, but appears as “Mr. Boston” in the movie version.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

PR is all and only about controlling the narrative. If a story escapes into the wild, the proven way to deal with it is to offer a little bit more, so you collect the eyeballs. Not enough to damage the client, but enough to make it look real, and to capture the narrative so you can control it.
