I've long held the theory that companies do this with prices whenever dems are in charge so that people will vote Republican, who in turn will give companies tax breaks because the corporations have given heavily to their election campaigns. It's all a scam at the expense of you and me.

When it comes to getting mental health help, Tom Kean Jr.'s logic appears to be "It's okay for me, but not for thee."

A new breed..... Door Dash Hound

Money can't buy me love...and it sure as hell can't buy my vote.

The Roberts Court broke the rules of the game for the elite & powerful Their decision will enable special interests to flood our system w/ dark money & corporate cash The American ppl, irrespective of party, don't want this & they're going to reject it at the polls come Nov.👇 @ms.now

Today, I voted YES to release the names of Members of Congress who used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual misconduct and other misconduct cases in Congress. No more abuses of power and no more hiding behind a system that shields perpetrators. We will always fight for justice for survivors—period.

Mitch McConnell should resign Immediately…..

Just to reassure Texans, I went to a church primary school where we had to read the Bible every day. There’s no better way to create a generation of atheists.

Prediction(safe,easy) the Republicans will go after the McCarran Walter Act which was the basis of Kavanagh’s vote to uphold birthright citizenship. Get rid of that, then Kavanaugh can shift his vote in the next birthright citizenship case.

He's liable for sexually assaulting a woman in a department store. You "family values" MAGA voters knowingly picked a sexual assaulter to be your leader. Jesus said something ..."Depart from me, I never knew you." Yeah, that's y'all evangelical trumpers.

It has a vibe #GreatAmericanStateFair #StateFair

Well enough to have stocks traded?

Reminder to Colorado journalists: if you’re interviewing a winning candidate who usually claims that elections are rigged, ask them why this election was rigged in their favor.

Tom Kean was so transparent & honest with the American people about why he disappeared with no explanation for the past 4 months while collecting a taxpayer salary that he showed up, read a brief speech, then refused to answer questions both before & after reading his statement.

In new state budget, #Florida Gov. Ron DeSastrous cuts free tax prep for working families but agreed to pay $750,000 to an education-and-propaganda company connected to Mike Huckabee. jasongarcia.substack.com/p/desantis-c... via @jasongarcia.bsky.social

“Stop the steal” was apparently more of a how-to seminar.

I’m not an expert, but I don’t think this is normal for end-June weather.

Is this what they mean by, “Soul mates”?

Thank you @maddow.bsky.social for reminding folks that InfoWars launches 8 p.m. ET on Thursday wherever you watch video! Again, I can't stress this enough: It's going to be, uh, explosive.

As a clinical psychologist, on an anti-depressant, who has worked with clients with treatment resistant depression, who is now fighting for science and democracy...I have some really complicated feelings about Rep. Tom Kean no-showing his job for a psychiatric hospitalization.

The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant

"The very definition of tyranny is when all powers are gathered under one place." ~ James Madison

Albania, citizens are gathering outside Police Station No. 1 in Tirana, demanding the release of 6 protesters detained during demonstrations outside Parliament. As the "Flamingo Revolution" rolls into its fourth week, each arrest only seems to be drawing more people into the streets, not fewer.

A fun thing about the US is that every June we get to see whether the plain and previously undisputed text of the Constitution means anything

Depression is real, and I’m glad Tom Kean got the help he needed. But that’s not an excuse for not showing up to work for months without informing the public of the reason why. It’s okay to walk away from a tough job if you’re not okay and let someone else do it.

Submitted without a hint of disagreement..

This is Gorda. She was reunited with her family after being spotted on a livestream of fans celebrating a Mexico World Cup win. "I wanted to cry, to laugh, to hug her and even to scold her," Garcia said of their reunion. "While we were worried looking for her, she was out partying!" 12/10

NEW: As most states move away from the death penalty, Florida is executing more prisoners than ever before. Last year, 19 people were put to death — shattering the state’s previous annual record of 11, first set in 1936. with @nytimes.com

Here are the top 5 dogs of June!

We are hearing nothing about the huge bomb that was dropped on Lebanon, it's disturbing, dystopian. What gives one state the right to annihilate people and their homes like this ? I just don't understand the world we live in now, the evil that continues, the constant greed from those with no soul.

Oh Donorrhea is a keeper. I'm stealing that. #Donorrhea

I googled "What is 'violence against women'" and the words men or male didn't appear once on the first results page. That's beyond fucked up. theconversation.com/the-nordic-p...

NEW: Oil companies are blasting millions of gallons of toxic waste underground each year — less than a half-mile from Enid, Oklahoma’s water wells. But to protect their city, officials must appeal to the state agency that created the problem. With @readfrontier.bsky.social

I'm hiding trending topics for a while. I just checked 2 different topics and underneath there were no articles or comments that had much, if anything, to do with the topics.

Why is Ken Paxton trending but when I go there, nothing is actually about him? The same thing happened yesterday but I can't remember what it was about, just that nothing had anything to do with the trending subject.

To be crystal clear here -- the nun was **wearing her habit** and walking to Sunday mass when ICE arrested her and hauled her off: apnews.com/article/nun-...

That’s the man’s name and he qualified to run. Senator Sullivan could always change his name to avoid ballot confusion.

NYC is opening city grocery stores in every borough — and we need the right spaces to make it happen. If you own or know of a site in Brooklyn, Queens, or Staten Island, submit to the NYC Groceries Sites Portal by June 30: grocery.nyc/portal

JUST IN: DOJ has lost for the 10th straight time in an effort to obtain states' voter rolls. This defeat is courtesty of Judge Joseph LaPlante, a George W. Bush appointee in New Hampshire. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Missouri’s governor supports an amendment that would make it harder for citizen-led ballot initiatives to succeed, arguing they are susceptible to “out-of-state special interests.” He also backs a ballot measure funded by dark money from Delaware.
