Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy
Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."

Supporting the American Gestapo is completely disqualifying.

@rephaleystevens.bsky.social, you are a traitor to the American people, and your farce of a primary campaign is an attack on every single person who lives in the state of Michigan.

If you’re in Michigan: don’t vote for a Quisling
How is this even possible? Rep. Haley Stevens, who is running for #MISen, "seemed generally impressed with the staff" at an ICE detention facility, per the @michiganadvance.com.

At the same event, Rep. Hillary Scholten spoke of a man "being kept in a freezing room where he couldn’t feel his toes."

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate🧧

The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement.

May 2026 bring New York the same bold change people deserve.

For those confused, Trump/Republicans would strongly prefer Crockett to win the Senate primary bc they don’t think a Black woman has a chance at winning statewide in Texas. They’re terrified of Talarico, who lacked the name recognition to win until CBS tried to censor his interview with Colbert

What links Epstein and Dilley (among their network of concentration camps)? Child trafficking and the unrelenting abuse, assault and abduction of children -- to feed the sick appetites and pad the profits of billionaires.

According to a U.N. panel of experts, the Epstein files suggest a “global criminal enterprise" whose atrocities against women and girls were so grave in scale and systematic in nature that they may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity. www.reuters.com/world/allega...

This will not surprise people on the left. But remember: I'm not from the left. I'm from mainstream Democratic politics in California. I *know* these people. And this is some pretty bad shit.

I've know these people for years. They've worked for Kamala Harris, Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom, Antonio Villaraigosa, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, etc. Now they are working for crypto and venture capital, as vc and crypto underwrite Trump fascism.

But these tech billionaires are just wholesale buying out the California Democratic Party apparatus. That is very obviously the strategy, and it works. The standard bearers of the California Democratic Party are now subsidiaries of Silicon Valley's worst billionaires.

Amazing how many of the state's top Democratic consultants are selling out to tech. Just cashing tf out. This is why I say the biggest threat doesn't come from Republicans—it comes from Democrats selling us out over time.
BTW: I spent most of my career working for California Democrats.

As Trump becomes more unpopular and the fragile MAGA coalition falls apart, the regime is getting more desperate in its attacks on free speech. Corporate leaders who side with fascists over our freedom of speech are making a bad bet that they will regret. CBS can’t be trusted under MAGA management.

CBS is Trump TV. Less than two months after CBS News suddenly pulled a report on the regime’s prison camps, CBS lawyers told Stephen Colbert that he couldn’t air an interview with a Texas Democratic candidate.

This is what complicity looks like.
Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air interview out of fear of FCC
Colbert kicked off Monday's episode of "The Late Show" by saying that the network's lawyers told him he could not have Texas state Rep. James Talarico on the broadcast.
