"It’s no wonder the up-and-coming ranks of politically active youngish Republicans feel emboldened to speak in the way that they did to each other in the leaked messages. They have a mirror in the White House, and defenders all around them."

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

Trump didn’t light the fire overnight. He’s been turning up the heat slowly, hoping we won’t notice until we’re already cooked.

There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.

Ned @resnikoff.bsky.social asked earlier "is it just me or are they extra Klanny today" — and in the fullness of consideration, we have to say the answer is the latter. Definitely the latter.

Trump: In 1902, they were gonna put a statue of Robert E. Lee up. Would have been okay with me. A lot of people wouldn't have liked it, but it would have been okay with me.

Millions of Americans could lose their health care if ACA tax credits expire — and Senator #MarkKelly is sounding the alarm.

Protecting ACA tax credits means protecting families, homes, and futures. We’ve seen what happens when they disappear — and we can’t go back.

The Trump regime is built on a metastasis of the imaginary and suffocation of the symbolic—all supplemented by an unleashing of the real of violence that thrills and ‘persuades’ the many admirers of fascism. They have used media to destroy the very possibility of meaning it is meant to transmit.

Eric Reinhart @eric-reinhart.com · 2h

It would be useful if media imposed a blackout on the fascist Trump regime, which thrives on flooding informational worlds with constant nonsense and absurdity to drown out all else. Stop interviewing them. Stop airing clips of them. Just report nonstop on the destructive effects of what they do.

Another $20 billion. That is the face you make when you heist the US taxpayers for $40 billion two weeks before your midterm elections from the most corrupt America Last regime in history.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had enough of the right wing-lies. As Dems continue to show up to try and make a deal to reopen the government, Pelosi was confronted by a reporter asking about January 6th. Pelosi snapped back telling her to "shut up".

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!
