I’ve been voting and working for Democrats exclusively going back to George McGovern in 1972. If I lived in Maine, under no circumstance whatsoever would I ever vote for Graham Platner for anything. The guy is NOT okay.

Democrat Oregon Senator Ron Wyden was stunned into silence after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent brought up the lawmaker’s son’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein while testifying before the Senate Finance Committee Wednesday.

The fallout from Bari Weiss’ dismantling of “60 Minutes” is now reverberating across Paramount, with company leaders privately questioning the damage being done to the CBS brand, Status has learned. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/60-minutes...

This Pro-Israel Group Paved the Way for Trump’s Disastrous War in Iran And that’s not all. Foundation for the Defense of Democracies is now apparently helping write the script for a fusion of the U.S. and Israeli militaries. zeteo.com/p/trump-fdd-...

Democracy WINS, Trump and authoritarian fascism LOSE. The SAVE America Act has been defeated in the Senate. 🙌🙏💪✊

Way to go, Albania! 🇦🇱

UPDATE: Albanian police are now responding to protests of Jared Kushner’s luxury resort “with water cannons and tear gas.”

NEWS: The House has passed the Ukraine Support Act, 226-195, to provide new military aid to Ukraine and impose tougher sanctions on Russia. The bill advanced through a discharge petition despite Speaker Mike Johnson's efforts to block a vote.

exactly the right response

Senate Republicans defeated the first attempt by Democrats to permanently block Trump's $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, the New York Times reported.

If I win the primary, the backing will come. I’m not worried about that. Mean just need to get out, write me in, and rank me first.

What's happening with Platner is why you hop off the bus at "he has a nazi tattoo"

Looking forward to an evening reading comments from white men on this platform about how Graham Platner isn’t a bad guy for doing a bunch of the same things that made me call 911 when my ex did them.

And it alleges violent and intimidating behavior that’s not hard to reconcile with the things he’s posted. The thing with Platner is that this is a cumulative issue, individual scandals that tell a fairly coherent story of a man with serious judgement and character issues

If Platner sexted my Mom, I would not vote for him, I would go to the police. But joking like this is why women don’t feel safe going to the police. It would be really helpful for the formidable @kenklippenstein.bsky.social and @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social to apologize as it keeps all women unsafe.

Who here enjoys the bliss of zero television, zero cable, and zero 24/7/365 Trump reality TV? Americans are paying cable bills to lose connection with their own potential. The media circus is why he’s been elected twice. Pull the plug 🔌 Cut the Pedophile Protection Class off at the cord. #BoycottTV🇺🇸

"Video analyzed by The Washington Post shows Elias Irizarry, who was 19 in 2021, crawling into the Capitol through a broken window, posing for photos in a private conference room, climbing onto a statue of former President Ronald Reagan, and leaving after 20 minutes."

The people of Lebanon can't wait another month for Congress to act. Americans do not want Congress to wait another month to act. We are watching another catastrophe of U.S. complicity in destruction, displacement, and death unfold. We must pass the Lebanon War Powers Resolution TODAY.

The transcript of Pam Bondi’s interview is now out. That day I said: “She continues to push all of the investigation and the blame on Acting AG Todd Blanche." Bondi said I was lying. Well, the transcript is out. And it’s clear that Bondi placed all responsibility on Blanche.

Our president is a Rapist. #epsteinfiles #epstein #trumpepstein

This fund is hush money. They want to be paid and he doesn’t want them to talk.

This regime cannot be trusted. Congress must pass an amendment to immediately freeze and permanently block the $1.8 billion slush fund for Trump's political allies. It should also block Trump's "settlement" granting him immunity from IRS audits. Call your reps: (202) 224-3121

The Senate votes this afternoon on Trump's budget — including amendments on his $1.8B slush fund and IRS "settlement." Call your Senators and tell them: reject Trump's slush fund AND his family's immunity deal with the IRS. (202) 224-3121

Trump has no ceasefire in Lebanon despite his claims, no deal with Iran, no plan for the oil crisis, and his ballroom guy is in Russia showing Putin White House renovations. Your midday recap is here:

Trump’s illegal war in Iran has descended our world and our global economy into chaos. Yesterday, the House finally met the threshold to pass a War Powers Resolution. The Senate must work quickly to advance this resolution and end this war.

New Mexico Tech nixes data center proposal — for now sourcenm.com/briefs/new-m...

We haven't forgotten that the DOJ is withholding 50 percent of the Epstein files. Not only do we want Blanche, Patel, and others to appear before our Committee, but we also need the remaining 3 MILLION documents to conduct a thorough investigation and get justice for survivors.

Republicans want to hand ICE and Border Patrol another $70 BILLION. The kicker? The agencies are already sitting on nearly $100 billion in unobligated funds—enough to fund them for the next four years. Completely wrong.

In February, we won a decisive victory for Astoria and Long Island City. And on June 23, we’re back on the ballot. In office, I've fought to protect immigrant families from ICE, defend New York's climate laws, and make wealthy corporations pay their fair share. Let’s keep building.

At last night's debate, we offered a different Democratic Party: transform the economy, end the wars, serve the working class.

“Clean energy actually is the cheapest form of energy around... and we the consumers should be benefiting from that.” In the final days of session, NY must pass the #SUNNYAct for plug-in solar! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

New York’s SUNNY Act, which passed the legislature, creates a new category for portable plug‑in solar devices and aims to legalize “balcony solar” for renters. It adds to a set of policies that support distributed clean energy across the state. #SUNNYAct #Solar prismmarketview.com/new-yorks-su...

Alabama saw huge surge in Democratic voting in 2026 primary mrf.lu/BDvj

Now Illinois should regulate methane the way Maryland does, just to troll NY

Climate Fams: It's the last day of session in Albany & we're trying to pass a data center moratorium. Will you take 2 minutes to call Albany in support?

Hell yeah @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social @350brooklyn.bsky.social @thirdactupstateny.bsky.social we might not have been the first but we can be the biggest! Thank you @emilyassembly.bsky.social and Senator Liz Krueger for your leadership!

Making solar accessible to more people is exactly what we need as utility bills soar and the climate crisis intensifies.

NEW: This church teaches that once an abuser is forgiven, anyone who speaks about the wrongdoing can be accused of having an unforgiving heart. The burden of sin would shift from the person who committed the act to the person who won’t let the matter rest. W/ @startribune.com

The Democratic establishment swung back in California on Tuesday. L.A. Mayor Karen Bass advanced to a runoff to keep her job after a better-than-expected showing in early returns, and Xavier Becerra was in solid position to make the runoff in the governor’s race.

This morning, SEIU members with @32bjseiu.bsky.social took to the streets in front of Palantir's NYC office with a clear demand: End Palantir's collaboration with ICE! ICE has been terrorizing our families, and Palantir is the backbone of their data operations. Union workers say it must end!

Bill Pulte now runs American intelligence . Bills dad, Mark Pulte, is one of 3 men in the staged auction of the Maison de l’Amitié, Epstein setting the floor, Pulty the counter-bid, DT the buyer who laundered $50M before the house was flipped to Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev.

C’MON CALIFORNIA! Congratulations to @scottwiener.bsky.social on advancing to the general election in the race for California’s 11th Congressional District seat. We need more longtime LGBTQ+ champions like Scott Wiener in Washington. LET’S GET FREE this November!
