This senior southerner Georgia voter agrees 1000%, Max. Huge disconnect.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
i have been thinking a lot about “overconsumption” discourse and how it only ever targets female-coded stuff (labubus, fast fashion, makeup) but could absolutely be applied to things like guns
Pritzker's stance is what we need now.
Curious what the reasoning for this could possibly be. My first thought it that it was a Putin request
Purged voters have until Wednesday to update their registrations.
CEO pay vs. median employee Home Depot CEO: $15.6 million Workers: $35,196 Nike CEO: $29.2 million Workers: $38,462 Starbucks CEO: $95.8 million Workers: $14,674 Target CEO: $20.4 million Workers: $27,090 Walmart CEO: $27.4 million Workers: $29,469 See the problem?
Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.
Not just accents. Also good for mumblers who don't enunciate their lines.
If you’re a convicted felon and your character witness is your dear old friend, the convicted child sex trafficker and enabler of your other dear old friend, the most notorious raper of children in modern history, you’re definitely a total piece of shit.
Coincidence or algorithm? I literally pulled your book out yesterday and started re-reading it and this popped up in my feed today. Anyway, thankful for your PTSD insight - I actually find it helpful when trying to survive America today.
When we reestablish rule of law in the US, one of the reforms we should make is a law capping CEO compensation (salary, options, etc) as a fixed multiple of that of the lowest paid worker (employee, IC, whatever.) If CEOs couldn’t make more than 20x the minimum pay, you’d see wages skyrocket.
I’m trying Ms Katie but the state of our country has changed me forever. And none of the privileged politicians get it.
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
So fucking sick of all politicians. So fucking tired of seeing their weak puny asses drip with privilege and security of having money and healthcare at the expense of the taxpayer while we the taxpayers loose healthcare and security. I HATE THEM ALL!
I’m just so fucking furious with everything.
The evil that men do, portrayed to perfection by Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, Musk, Farage, Vance, and all their sycophantic minions, including business leaders and politicians around the world who have given up their integrity and morals in order to please their rancid overlords. Rot in hell.
Interesting ay?
FUN FACT: Cape Buffaloes kill more big game hunters than lions, elephants, rhinos, and crocodiles. Well done, Cape Buffaloes! thetab.com/2025/08/06/m...
HELL YES!!! Marc Elias. PREACH!
Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.
It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.
You would think they would possess at least that much brain power as it has been the sword they’ve carried for the past decade eating up Putin propaganda and going after Hillary with it. Alas, self awareness is not something they seem to possess either. Sad.
We seniors don’t believe any of the creepy scammy liar texts are legit. They all get blocked and junked but the creeps just keep haranguing and harassing. It’s off the charts PTSD AND the democrats are the one attacking us. WTF
I hate them ALL now! I’m a senior citizen and let me tell you all of us feel stalked, hunted, harassed, and criminally hounded by all the scammy creepy criminal emails. Like it’s not safe to walk out our door. AND it’s the democrats assaulting us.
Sooo boring and so gross with his sucking up - can’t stomach him 5 minutes. 🤮 Gonna miss Colbert.
Trump is doing exactly what MAGA has been ranting about for years—covering up Epstein ties, protecting elite pedophile rings, silencing victims, and giving safe harbor to child sex traffickers. And he’s doing it in plain sight.
HELL YES! God I’m so fucking tired of this shit! I HATE EVERYONE UP THERE!
1/ Important piece by @billmckibben.bsky.social out today: Trump is trying to kill rooftop solar (with an assist from @gavinnewsom.bsky.social). Here's what to know, and how to fight back: www.motherjones.com/environment/...

Epstein accuser Maria Farmer on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I’ve never met a more predatory, terrifying human being in my entire life. She’s a very dangerous person. The woman is not a victim, she’s a victimizer.” via @msnbc.com (ht: @marcofoster.bsky.social)
Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just relaxed export restrictions on AI chip manufacturers AMD and Nvidia. Lutnick's family business empire holds a combined $1.1B stake in both companies. "Conflict of interest" is an understatement.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Trump says no one told him he’s in the Epstein files. House GOP subpoenas them anyway. DOJ popped in on Ghislaine Maxwell today. And in unrelated dystopia, the government promises not to regulate AI youtu.be/KaZ9EI3EOds?...
Just donated to these wonderful, uncorrupted journalists who are doing yeoman's work for the United States of America and so should you!
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
I want to know if the President of the United States is a pedophile. And I know the American people do too. I'm shocked that Republicans would rather shut down Congress than stand up to a dead pedophile. So why not release the files?
Donald Trump thinks you're stupid. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oibZ...

Impressive!
Real AF! Can we stop with fantasy land and produce some real true American hero’s who stand up to evil!
New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time "American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."
This should be a bigger deal, ya'll
Fuck Jake Tapper!
Damn! Sarah Longwell for the win! I haven’t watched any media. I’ve been detached from all the madness for 5 months. I tuned in today because- home alone and wanted a check in. She gave the most accurate summary of our country and the problems we face of anyone I’ve ever heard. Bravo!
If they are such bad asses, why aren't they raiding the known gang territories?
Including the rotten democrats who voted for this. Is it true that the bill makes crypto the number one thing for banks to reimburse when crash comes? Take our cash and give it to the billionaires!

I look forward to Stephen Miller being tried for his crimes against humanity--along with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem--and receiving the most severe penalties allowed by law.
Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.
It is quite passe. We have stopped watching American tv - we no longer tolerate a woman having to be naked, beaten, raped, killed or prostituted in every freaking movie. We switched to BritBox. It's great! Real people of all kinds are so much more interesting than all porn blow up doll freaks.
Trump got played.
The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion. They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich. Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.
Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

Call your senators. This bill is heading to them next and they can stop it if the people speak out. (202) 224-3121
Just a reminder that the "Fox News Channel" is just a name— it does not describe an actual news channel. The FNC's own description of its services is here, from its terms of use:
WTF IS HAPPENING TO HUMAN BEINGS? WHY DO THOSE WITH THE POWER TO DO SOMETHING PRETEND THIS IS NORMAL AND DO NOTHING? WTF IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE? CLEARLY PAPAW NEEDS A RETIRMENT HOME NOT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHITE HOUSE.
Last week we scared Dems off of this. The bill stalled. If you want this bill dead, we've got to be louder than the crypto lobbyists. Cheer on the Dems like @warren.senate.gov fighting it. And if you're represented by any of the turncoats, tell them to change course. bsky.app/profile/indi...
WTF
Hope 💗
No! I think Schumer and Jeffries are relics of old politics. They both exude privileged smarmy politics with zero authenticity. Not the right people for the times. I like AOC, Bernie, and Pritzker.

Fifteen years later and we’re seeing the full culmination of the Citizens United decision—where corruption is rampant while working families face higher costs and unprecedented amounts of dark money are flooding our elections.

Bloomberg: Worst 100 days since 1974 "Despite last week’s rally, the S&P 500 Index is down about 8% since his inauguration and on track for its worst run during a president’s first 100 days since Gerald Ford in 1974, following Richard Nixon’s resignation." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it
Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post is even calling out Leon Munsk and Tesla for allegedly speeding up the cars’ odometers so they fall out of warranty faster. Seems like they really are trying to distance themselves from him. 🍿
I'm hardly an International Businessman™, but even my work has shown me that there are particular steps taken when negotiating with Chinese government officials and business leaders, and endlessly insulting them in public isn't helpful to the process. These clowns live in the tiniest bubbles.
Props to @vanhollen.senate.gov for doing his duty as a sworn member of the Legislative Branch and looking out for his constituents. I know for our MAGA friends, they have only one constituent, but Van Hollen just broke some of the DC Trump spell, giving the courts a chance to do THEIR job.
On June 6 veterans will march in DC to demonstrate that our oaths to the Constitution still hold. This is not partisan; it’s about service, particularly the essential work of veterans in the government and those who care for them. Unite4veterans.org www.military.com/daily-news/2...
Thank you for all your hard work. A couple seniors in the deep red south donated!
I donated because these lawyers are fighting for America! Thank you Lawfare!

Important piece by @jfallows.bsky.social asking questions more should asking. What is wrong with Donald Trump?
Jenner & Block, truly one of the preeminent law firms in America today, sued the Department of Justice and essentially the entire Federal Government this morning in a devastating 64-page complaint,
DOJ attorneys who are going into courts and arguing that Trump's unconstitutional executive orders are constitutional are violating their oath to "support and defend the Constitution" and are abdicating their responsibility to represent the interests of the American people. Absolutely SHAMEFUL!
This is correct. You will find no explanation for Trump's actions in economics or political science. You need to go deep into woke academic critical theory, and there it suddenly makes sense why white male nepobabies hate communal prosperity because it undermines their dream of personal superiority.
What is taught to senior military leaders at our nation’s War Colleges is that a nation’s power emanates from four areas: -Strength of diplomacy -Strength of economy -Strength of its military -Strength of truthful public information. All combine to determine power on the global stage.
Who did this?
Russell Brand has spent the past few years aligning himself with the American right as allegations of sexual violence were made public against him. He knew he would find defenders and protection among their ranks. That should tell you everything you need to know about what the party represents

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.
