Maybe the consultants can do a better job vetting the candidates they recruit. Especially ones who came out of nowhere. Otherwise it looks like you either knowingly scammed us for a grift, you’re willfully negligent, or grossly incompetent. The consultant class sucks. A lot.

I'm old enough to remember when @kenmartin.bsky.social & @democrats.org were so insistent on the DNC *not* interfering with Democratic primaries that they published a whole-ass TIME Magazine op ed about it *and* put it on their own website, where it remains today. democrats.org/news/icymi-d...

Hey @jonfavs.bsky.social @podsaveamerica.crooked.com Tommy Vietor @danpfeiffer.bsky.social how you guys feeling today? How about you, @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social, @sanders.senate.gov, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social, @heinrich.senate.gov, @gallegoforarizona.com?

The credible allegations against Graham Platner mean he must go, argues Steve Phillips. We can defeat Susan Collins without telling another generation of women that their pain is an acceptable price for power. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Absolutely fucking exhausting that our elected leaders continue to see the moves the administration makes as “failures” and not what they really are: wildly successful *intentional* plans to steal wealth and move money from public services to the pockets of their billionaire buddies.

Abbott Laboratories donated $500,000 to Trump’s inauguration fund. Trump bought around $500,000 worth of shares in Abbott stock last year. His DOJ just dropped a years-long criminal investigation into Abbott for potential deadly misconduct. Everything is for sale.

FUCK EVERY FUCKING PERSON WHO SUPPORTED AND EVEN FUCKING ENDORSED GRAHAM FUCKING PLATNER; EVERYONE WHO SHRUGGED OFF, LAUGHED OFF OR BLEW OFF THE *MOUNTAIN* OF MASSIVE RED FLAGS WHICH WE WERE WARNING ABOUT FOR NEARLY A FUCKING YEAR NOW. YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES.

Eradicating extreme global poverty is within reach—and no longer a guessing game. Watch @berkeleyischool.bsky.social professor Joshua Blumenstock break down how he uses machine learning and AI to solve one of the world’s biggest global development challenges. #GlobalDev #AI #DataScience #Economics

Trump got $2.2 BILLION richer in his first year back — from crypto, foreign deals & industries he oversees The most brazen self-enrichment in presidential history My piece w/ Richard Painter & Virginia Canter on why Congress must ACT: investigate, legislate & protect the public 👇 -TN

This is the kind of stuff dictators do

Trump's attorney general, Todd Blanche, is covering up the Epstein files in violation of federal law. Trump's commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, lied about his business and personal ties to Epstein. Trump and Epstein were sex predator pals. The Trump administration is the Epstein administration.

Reminder: 15 MILLION Americans will lose their healthcare coverage because of Republicans.

Watching Trump on TV, I fully understand why the rest of the world would hate us. The most loathsome, dishonest person in our country is president. It's a dumbshitocracy.

Hamas announced that it will dissolve its government in Gaza, a move that experts say puts pressure on Israel as progress from the US-brokered ceasefire plan has stalled. https://cnn.it/4axX0VS

Look if you think it’s fine for Trump to corruptly get a red card revoked (or “suspended”) bc FIFA is already corrupt, maybe you understand the MAGA mindset better than you think. “All politicians are corrupt so it’s ok for Trump to be corrupt” is a very common maga rationalization

I think I’d go with “long game mass murderers.”

Republicans want to slash benefits for the working class to give tax handouts to the richest people in history. Shame.

A retinal implant invented by a Stanford scientist is restoring limited vision to people with advanced macular degeneration, helping some read and recognize faces again.

"In nearly every state, the official humanities nonprofits created by a congress to help make history and literature accessible to all Americans had to give up their 250th anniversary planning when DOGE pulled their federal funding..." www.notus.org/agencies/dog...

“Trump’s total profits from World Liberty reached $799 million last year, according to his financial disclosure, including hundreds of millions from the United Arab Emirates, which secretly moved in early 2025 to buy nearly half the company. ... {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2026/07/04/u...

Meanwhile, universities are closing humanities programs

Democrats will not stop fighting until every American has access to affordable healthcare.

It was a ghost town. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

This is how the Trump-infused passport looks like

This entire thread is an example of Bluesky doomerism that makes one impotent. We know about the two programs IN SIGNIFICANT PART bc Dems in Congress have been trying to do oversight. The report has gotten a lot of attention, including this story. OUR CHALLENGE is how to make that stick.

California is deploying emergency resources to support Colorado's response to the Aspen Acres Fire. We know firsthand the devastation that drought and critically dry conditions can bring. Colorado isn't facing this alone. California stands ready to help.

I am also conflicted about showing a bunch of white nationalist assholes parading around DC while there is no (visible) attention given to efforts to drive them the fuck out. Why are they so comfortable walking around? Why are we so comfortable with seeing them and sharing their images? For what?

A large group of masked men wearing clothing associated with a white supremacist group marched with flags and chanted in Washington on Saturday morning as the U.S. Capitol prepared for events celebrating the country's 250th birthday. nyti.ms/4p64lBR

Oh.👀 Beatrice Keul, 55, a former beauty queen, says she believes Ivana Trump acted as a "madam"-style figure in Epstein's social world, on par with Ghislaine Maxwell. "Was Maxwell a madam or an enabler? However you would describe her, Ivana was the same." www.rawstory.com/ivana-trump-...

It is not his house. I am so angry with Congress for letting him vandalize public property with impunity.

Jesus Christ, what now? www.townandcountrymag.com/society/poli...

I could have sworn the United States Constitution frowned on Bribery with some level of specificity but I'm just a lawyer living in an insane asylum the size of a country so don't mind me

If you love democracy, then today is a good day to commit to restore it here. But make no mistake, a country in which economic and political inequality is as grotesque as in the US today, in which the rich get to pick candidates, direct our govt and Trump has the powers of a king is no democracy.

Trump’s MAGA death cult produced a pathetic waste of tax payers’ dollars. Happy 4th, everyone! #oligarchy #dictatorship #dictatortrump

Trump uses the pardon power to normalize fraud and corruption. He wants us to believe that if everyone is corrupt, then who cares if he is corrupt, too. It’s just politics. It doesn’t have to be this way. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

THE COMMIES ARE COMING FOR YOUR GUNS AND BIBLES!!! Vote to keep the corrupt Republican oligarchy in power enriching themselves at your expense - they will protect you from the bad commies who are EVERYWHERE plotting! BUY TRUMP CRYPTO & A TRUMP BIBLE NOW AND GET SAVED!!!

I thought he was going to say Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations.

Everything is so dumb.

68 million in taxpayer dollars was spent on what? The Ferris wheel? The arch?

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.

Not described in here: How you force Trump to comply with subpoenas. They couldn't get him to comply in the first term. What has changed?

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “This year, I can barely tolerate the sight of red, white and blue,” Robin Givhan writes about the Fourth of July in Washington. “When combined into a maximalist display of nationalist cheerleading, the colors make my heart ache.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom will release a prerecorded speech unveiling a new state plan to safeguard California’s election system against federal interference.

This will make a great commercial for midterms.

Supreme Court Expansion: Major Update youtu.be/gSRHVwEU8ZA?...

Gallup’s most recent generational study found 71% of Gen Z employees prefer a hybrid work environment, the highest share of any generation. https://bit.ly/4wlXab4

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

Trump is responsible. Musk worked for Trump. MAGA cheered. GOP enabled.
