Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

The U.S. Post Office is threatening to not deliver ballots from areas where the opposition party dominates, unless those places hand over their voter rolls for pruning. In any other country - like Russia - we’d know exactly what we’d call this.

Florida, the GOP has let you down this year in 2026, send them a message. You have a much better choice for Senator in U.S. Congress Alex Vindman @avindman.bsky.social alexvindman.com

Unearthed documents reveal Ken Paxton celebrating a Texas law that forces women to leave the state to receive life-saving reproductive care. He bragged the law is “stimulating” interstate travel.

Secret police secretly filming a regular citizen at a public space. This is what is looks like a totalitarian regime. This is not KGB action in Russia. This is USA on 23rd June 2026. Woman arrested for TOUCHING the water at Reflecting Pool.

"Only once before has America had a president this old — and that time, we held an extended and furious debate about whether age had rendered the octogenarian unable to do his job. By comparison, discussion of Trump’s age has been quiet and infrequent." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

God this woman is such a fucking fraud. I can't believe Maine keeps falling for it.

His opponent is literally MAGA. You might be cool with having another fascist felon in office, but most of the rest of us are fucking tired of Republicans.

It really is fucking wild that Trump is having people arrested for putting a finger in a pool when he pardoned the people who full out trashed the US Capitol

You, and whichever idiots are XYZ I did not say you were I am saying two different groups anyway this is a ridiculous conversation, Talarico is the nominee, anyone who wouldn't have voted for Crockett if she were the nom is similarly a piece of shit, but it's a done deal, vote James, beat Paxton

Being salty that your candidate lost is not a good excuse to elect Ken fucking Paxton. The stakes are so much bigger than this petty bullshit. Grow up and do your fucking civic duty.

There are two choices in the election involving the man being criticized here. Tearing down Talarico at this point only helps Paxton. This is basic US elections shit that you should have learned in high school.

The only reality here is damaging Talarico promotes Paxton.

Just watched on MSNOW that Crockett won’t endorse Talarico in Texas. Reason stated was “she doesn’t owe him her labour”. Fair enough. Enjoy Paxton, you completely unserious people.

it’s remarkable to see Crockett supporters use the exact same deranged discourse to justify not voting for Talarico that dumb leftists used to justify not voting for Hillary/Biden/Kamala voting for someone isn’t a personal favor! it’s an expression of power that is used to stop fascism!

President Trump unveiled a refurbished jet given to him by Qatar to use as Air Force One, in violation of the foreign emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution. Editors at @apnews.com, numbed by a decade of emolumental corruption, failed to identify it as public corruption to Americans & the world.

Sorry, but this shit is insane. This just isn't a thing that happened. It's not. At all. No one in his campaign ever said anything even remotely like this. Stop conflating random assholes on the internet with a politician.

A reminder: the top income tax rate used to be 90%+ and corporate 52%. US and UK. Inheritance 77% US, 85% UK. Now these countries pay "interest" TO the wealthy instead of taxing them. A wealth tax only begins to get the money FROM where the money WENT. Tax the rich.

Make Algae Great Again....

Nation’s largest wind farm just came on line, powering a million homes in California www.latimes.com/environment/...

Trump has improved the lives of billions of algae. Microbes doing splendidly as well. And billionaires are becoming trillionaires. Iran is doing better than ever. Inflation only 4.2%. So much winning.

I love it when reporters do their job and use facts to correct lies from Trump administration members in real time.

iran won. not yesterday. it won when it closed the strait of hormuz after we attacked. something they refused to do through decades of us sanctions and israeli and american meddling. they were willing to do diplomacy the entire time. people should stop demanding more war.

And while I'm retweeting Nathan, I would desperately like everyone on Bluesky to read & internalize this thread of his. The fact is, people generally say what they think. There's no secret Straussian cabal manipulating things. People aren't lying for money. They believe the things they say.

None of this makes any sense, except as desperate rationalizations from a man who cannot face facts and admit defeat. On the most important questions of war and peace, the president of the United States seems to be losing his grip on reality itself. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

I know it shouldn't surprise me at this point, but I really can't believe the media is just running through the same "Trump has a deal!" cycle they've been through a dozen times before, with no evident increase in skepticism.

What the Ellison family would own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

🔥 SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov: “This war in Iran is the worst foreign policy blunder since Iraq. And just like the Iraq war, it’s a war built on lies. The ‘America first’ President who said he would end foreign wars, now he says all we can afford is war.”

Props to CNN’s chyron writer:

Since taking office, Ken Paxton has become a multi-millionaire while our pay has stagnated. He owns 11 homes while most Texans can’t afford one. He trades favors with rich donors while blocking overtime pay for workers. Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.

Progressives need to stop falsely claiming Talarico is no different than a Republican on LGBT rights, because he does not support surgical intervention for trans minors. He's a huge LGBT supporter. Look at the facts. Stop trashing great candidates because you don't like every policy of theirs.

A lawyer who represented Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for nearly a decade over accusations of corruption and securities fraud is supporting Democrat James Talarico — and not his former client — in one of the biggest U.S. Senate races. https://to.pbs.org/4xm7x04

I thought people were kidding, turns out Elon really did axe the screwworm containment program back in March 25. fucking imbecile www.agri-pulse.com/articles/226...

1/ What if you put all the ways that Jared Kushner is selling out America while lining his pockets into one place? In our new cover story, @cjcmichel.bsky.social did just that www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The US is hosting the World Cup and just turned away Africa’s top referee at the airport 3 days before kickoff because of where he was born. Omar Artan had a valid visa. He had a historic assignment. They didn’t care. Disgraceful. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/211508/...

The strange times we are in: When Ann Coulter is making logical sense. 🤔🤔

It's easy to shrug off the idiots claiming that the incredibly accomplished politician Spencer Pratt was cheated out of a rightful win in Los Angeles. But they're going to make these same claims in November, so we need to carpet bomb this conspiracy out of existence right now.

Trump: "I didn't guarantee no war." Trump guaranteeing no more wars:

CBS is dead to me!

Everyone remembers this, bro. You have to make your lies believable.

Trump has lied about states that count slow. States that count fast. States that have little mail. States that are all mail. He invented reasons why Cruz didn’t beat him in Iowa, made up false claims about people being into New Hampshire—none of which were about a slow count.

Trump "won one of the narrowest wins in modern American history [in 2024]... He lies, he says he won a landslide... Pull up my piece..." Great moment when I took over the PBD podcast and delivered some hard facts to his right-wing viewers. Full show/debate: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT3g...

"Vote blue no matter who." Yup. That's correct. Do that.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

I'm old enough to remember in 1998 when First Lady Hillary Clinton referred to a "vast right-wing conspiracy" and was roundly mocked by all the VSPs in Washington. Well, guess what? It was real then, and it's even bigger and more powerful now.

My opponent Ashley Moody voted to block key funding for FEMA — she’s part of the problem. She’s a rubber-stamp on this administration’s agenda, even when it puts Floridians in danger. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Donald spent Saturday complaining on the Internet. 6 hours, 52 posts… and when not posting he’s trying to rob us. He sued the 🇺🇸 government he commands for $10 BILLION, then settled with himself for $1.776 Billion to cut checks to cronies and 1/6 foot soldiers.”
