“Enigmas never age,” first couple of times I read it I thought he was referring to himself and Epstein.

Then it hit me, he was referring to the endless supply young girl to rape.

We can agree he is a fucking sociopath who belongs in rikers.

I’m Graham Platner, the Marine Corps veteran and oyster farmer running for Senate against Susan Collins here in Maine.I am asking you to donate to my campaign. Whatever you can. We refuse to take money from billionaires and from AIPAC, and for that reason, we are very reliant on small-dollar donations.I know the value of a dollar. I work on the ocean with my hands. I’m a working-class guy, and I don’t make a lot of money. Asking for even a small amount is asking a lot.But for us to win this, for us to build the organization and capacity to fight and win and take back the Senate in 2026, I need your help.Please, will you make a monthly donation now to my campaign to help me defeat Susan Collins, turn Maine blue, and take back the Senate for Democrats?

Hey American farmers, Trump just doubled Argentina's bailout from $20 billion to $40 billion.

That's the same Argentina that, because of Trump's tariffs, has now supplanted ALL of America's soybean sales to China.

Trump sold you out – then gave the guy who benefited an extra $40 billion gift.

Every time something like the GOP chat leak occurs I hear smart people arguing that shame could be a useful tactic. But shame only works if the bad actors think their actions are bad. Hypocrisy, shame, these Victorian-ish norms are just that, norms, guardrails, and they don't work against fascism.

Just to be clear:
(1) The old guard (both literally the older ones but also the spiritually/ideologically/tactically older ones) of the Democratic Party doesn't seem to understand the moment we're in.
(2) The competitive primaries (which are good!!) are going to prove that out.

SCOTUS looks ready to erase another key piece of the Voting Rights Act, this time by striking down Louisiana’s Black-majority district for “relying too much on race.” Let me translate…they’re opening the door for states to erase Black and Latino districts that usually vote blue.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

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.

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

📌It is completely ABSURD Chuck Schumer and his Democratic elites pushed Janet Mills into the Maine senate race.
I like Mills OK, but she will be 78 when she runs.
It's past time to step aside and support new candidates.

📌I've lived in Maine and know Mainers.
Mills running is a MASSIVE mistake.

John Roberts is only a couple of steps from finishing off Democracy. He abandoned the Constitution years ago, no-one reported it straight up. the right wing lie machine continues to win.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

I really wish you would have thought about this when voting yes on Trump nominees. We are hurting, look around. It’s not just about the budget. Nobody is safe-ever.

Janet Mills will be 79 at the start of the next senate term. No matter how popular she was as a governor, this is not what voters are asking for. Chuck Schumer continues to miss the moment.
