AOC: Trump has been saying the economy is booming, but it’s really only seven tech companies. They’re driving this growth in just one sector: AI. So the entire economic growth can be tracked down to seven companies and their AI expansion…

My guess about those emails were released today is that SOMEONE has decided that its time to cut loose from Trump - they see him as a liability now, more than a useful tool.

Newsom: They want to bring us back to a pre-1960s, maybe 1860s world. And you’re seeing it not just on voting rights—you’re seeing it on civil rights, on women’s rights, on LGBTQ rights. They’re censoring historic facts. They’re on a banning binge—Bud Light and Big Bird

It would have cost $38 billion to extend ACA subsidies for one year, and the Dems would have agreed to the funding bill to reopen the government. The GOP refused. Trump sent $40 million to Argentina. It's not the money. They'd rather starve people than fund healthcare.

Oregon SNAP benefits are loaded for November!

The sandwich guy has been acquitted. When the jury did not return a quick verdict, it looked like he might be toast. Turns out they needed to chew on it some more. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Plymouth, Massachusetts- somewhere between 2-3,000 people

Plymouth Massachusetts today, right near Plymouth Rock.

Fairhope, representing Alabama and doing us all proud! And ma'am, if you need a lawyer, I can probably find a few.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

Plymouth, MA today - not sure how many, but it was a LOT!

Swear her in.

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

“Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.” The Trump DOJ scrubbed this study from their website.

Don Jr went on Fox to attack people who call their opponents fascists. Yes, this Don Jr:

Donald Trump again confused Armenia with Albania in a recent interview, saying he ended the war between Azerbaijan and Albania. The actual conflict was between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh, not involving Albania.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Charlie Kirk was killed today at an event in Utah. Single shot to his neck from approx. 200 yards away. No suspect in custody yet.

NEW VIDEO: President Donald Trump announced he will issue a new executive order to get rid of mail-in voting and to control the counting of ballots in 2026. This is not a political stunt. It is an existential threat to democracy. I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6K4...

NEW: After Trump attacked mail-in ballots earlier this week, some Republicans pushed back against his proposed unconstitutional order and ~politely~ criticized his effort to eliminate a widely used voting method that makes it easier for all voters to participate. From: @jimsaksa.com

@hcrichardson.bsky.social just suggested this on her Politics Chat: Let's flood the zone - all social media, all platforms -& reclaim the idea of what a "Real American" is from MAGA. Who are OUR heroes? Famous or regular folks? Here's one: she's 104 years old. Protests weekly. #RealAmerican.

The core sadness and patheticness of Donald Trump would be really fascinating if he wasn’t destroying democracy worldwide to feed his ego.
