This tactic - pressuring corporations financially until they put a regime friendly voice in charge - is exactly how Orbán took over the free press in Hungary

This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway. Read all of it. He wrecks them: newrepublic.com/article/1999...

Republican senators say they are prepared to change the chamber’s rules to get around the Democratic blockade of Trump’s nominees and are discussing a proposal to make it easier to confirm multiple nominees at once.

Putin’s summer offensive has failed: no breakthroughs, no buffer zone, and no cities captured despite huge losses. This should be a wake-up call for anyone who still believes a Russian military victory in Ukraine is inevitable www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrain...
🚨🚨🚨”What we heard today is a cover up. And it is a cover up of epic proportions. A cover up involving the US government, the justice system, rich and powerful individuals… and yes, a cover up by republicans in this chamber.”

GOP Congressman Massie: “I don't know if that's precedented in this country to have a president call legislators to say that they're engaged in a hostile act, particularly when the so-called hostile act is trying to get justice for people who've been victims of sex crimes."
Given what we have seen in recent months re: the Epstein files, there are only three possible scenarios: 1. Donald Trump is a pedophile 2. He is covering for his pedophile friends 3. All of the above. None of these scenarios should be acceptable to any American with even a shred of integrity.
I’m listening to them tell their stories while the guy trying to cover it up is flying fighter jets over their heads. Beyond surreal.
Powerful. Strong. Courageous. I really hope they will get the support they need, and that many people will step up to protect these women.
Guess which network is ignoring the survivors? Fox isn’t news.
Here's how X and Elon Musk helped to weaponize disinformation about the Minneapolis school shooting www.wired.com/story/disinf...
wtf?
eff off lapdog
They paid out a billion dollars in settlements for knowingly lying to intentionally deceive their own audience. As their own internal emails/texts showed in discovery, they have nothing but contempt for their own viewers and laugh at them all the way to the bank. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
given the state of the intelligence community and the tendency of this admin to not care about details or truth, was this just a random hit? PR stunt? Diversion stunt?
I have been sick of scarborough for a long time and apparently he thinks there is such a thing as a repub these days, that brand is toast
Wow, $8 trillion! What a huge amazing and totally fabricated number! I’m surprised we even have a deficit left, or any people without jobs!

turn in your man card guys, what wimps. what in the absolute hell were you thinking?
NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.
Pour one out for Graham Greene. I always liked his work.

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
This is so anti-military and anti-veteran. This is not what the National Guard was intended for.

Still no word from the Washington Post about Trump's latest attack on democracy. But, it is now offering advice to Trump about how to effectuate his tariff plan. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Right. Same thing as 2020 [see below].Through 2 debates and a session on Economics in Chicago during the 2024 campaign I never heard a reporter bring up the cost of the 2020 tariffs & the bailout to farmers WE paid for to cover Trump’s tariff folly. I’m sick of it. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Don't have the audio. All these people want are indentured servants, working in the hamster wheel. Doesn't matter how old, how young, how sick, how disabled. Feed the system that they profit off of. I will never put money into the pockets of these evil f🧁cks
Speaking of “super wealthy kook” Thiel, his former CEO to the Thiel Foundation and co founder to the Thiel fellowship, is now top Deputy to RFK Jr at the CDC. He has zero medical education or experience. We are in Mad Hattersville
The Party of Family Values!
So not only do churches NOT have to pay taxes, they're going to get YOUR tax dollars to boot. This seems like oh, I don't know, government establishing a religion in violation of the First Amendment?
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
The Trump administration is reportedly continuing its attack on immigrant minors by preparing to send 600 unaccompanied children to Guatemala, in violation of legal safeguards. Vulnerable children deserve protection — not to be disappeared to places they fled, alone and without due process.
keep believing it kids
Reason 4857 why health care should never be for profit: AI DEATH PANELS. This is the same kind of program used to deny claims at United Health, and they want to use this for VA claims, too.
Traditional Medicare will be the new UnitedHealthcare
why are you guys reporting this sham, talks led by witlesskovv were never designed to work. putie is doing exactly as he wants

He told her to go jump in a Lake.
Yes.
NEW: The Trump administration said it will boycott a regular UN review of the United States' record on human rights. This sets a dangerous precedent and weakens critical protections at home and abroad. We will continue to hold the Trump administration accountable for human rights violations.
Astonishing cost of a pointless show.
Evening in Kyiv. I went out and bought some chocolate. I’m not really into chocolate, but I today I needed to sweeten either my body or my life. The death toll in Kyiv has risen to 19. People may still be trapped under the rubble.
Let's not forget that while the Repugnants were saying "it was a mental issue, not a gun issue", they were cutting mental health programs. It's the case of the dog chasing its tail when trying to solve the problem of school shootings
Set your calendars, but be prepared for a big Trump diversion. Ignore him, listen to them.
Okay, pistol awareness... none! Wth? This is not right!!! I can't. Idk how anyone can be okay with it. I'm sorry! 😭💔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Please help us. Please. 🙏🏼
Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.
Imagine thinking your "personal freedoms" are worth more than a child's life. Imagine fighting for emotionally unstable 20 something male civilians to have easy access to weapons designed to kill lots of ppl, really fast. Imagine enabling the next mass shooter, while calling yourself "Christian"

Yeah, Republicans, it's the damn guns. You can deny it, but that's simply the truth. And if you won't commit to doing anything about it, then yeah, it's you too. We have a brutal, sickening, heartbreaking gun problem in America—and you’re it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/hey-republ...
Sums up the Party of War.
Remember when people were outraged at the suggestion that Isra3l would bomb a hospital? This week, they did it twice. First to injure patients and healthcare workers, second to injure the journalists who responded to the first bombing. This is so obviously criminal it’s hard to know what to say.
Republicans love guns more than the children killed with them.
the upper echelon of the party are on the take but they don't have to be. that group gives heavily to repubs anyway and grass roots fund-raising and smart campaigns can defeat it

"Hear me clearly. Not every wage is designed to be liveable wages." And yet, with this knowledge, he and his GOP brethren voted to take away Snap and Medicaid from people whose jobs aren't "liveable wages" Don't know who this bloated, never missed a meal, jerkoff is, but his time is coming
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is trying to illegally fire her. Your words shape reality — get it right.
Breaking: Democrat Catelin Drey just won an Iowa Senate district that Trump won by double digits last year, flipping the seat blue. Republican just lost their supermajority in the chamber.
Senator Warnock is sounding the alarm: 67 hospitals in Georgia are at risk of closing because of cuts to Medicaid. Families can’t afford to lose lifesaving care. #ProtectOurCare
