Can you share this? This is one hell of an ad from a Democrat running for US Senate against Susan Collins. We need to take back the Senate and have a real majority. Don’t forget Maine has ranked voting. We need great Democrats running. Don’t let her forget about Kavanaugh or Roe.
Collins can fuck allllll the way off.
🥲
@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is in DC with other vets right now standing up for democracy. He's playing General Milleys speech on repeat for them today 💜 #LoveTheVets!
One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
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.

This is very bad news. Louisiana won't even defend its own map in SCOTUS. It abandoned its own Black voters. Those of us committed to defending the VRA are now entirely on our own. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

My councilwoman @janeese4dc.bsky.social put out a plea to neighbors to not order food delivery because of law enforcement targeting delivery drivers.
Texas voters, Texas removed 100k voters from the voter rolls. Please spread the word and check your registration and re-register if necessary. thehill.com/homenews/484...

Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
Gene Hackman looking mutha fucka
Because nothing says “you should feel free to come visit Washington” like standing in front of dozens of armed soldiers next to a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be able to vote 🙃
I know rural America because I live here. I know rural inside and out and I speak on it often because almost no one else does. I have the market on rural politics cornered because not many think it’s worth cornering. But it is. jesspiper.substack.com/p/they-cant-...
I missed that!!!!
Texas Democrats? Full manhunt. Epstein list? Witness protection.
'A Pro-Israel Nonprofit is Funneling News Content Through Bari Weiss’s "Free Press"' As Weiss’s organization explores a deal to sell to CBS, much of its MidEast content is produced by a shadowy think tank tied to pro-Israel advocacy, per @dropsitenews.com.
Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes. Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.
@chickgonebad.bsky.social @vespavixen.bsky.social Was going to add a comment about how bad one of them is, but really they’re all a pile of twatfuffles
Good on her 🔥
From the Epstein files to the Mueller report, everything old is new again.
Did they arrest Obama or release the Epstein files yet? Is Hillary locked up? Did they figure out who in the Deep State is creating chemtrails?

Oops: On Joe Rogan’s podcast in September 2018, Tulsi Gabbard acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Rogan called it “amazing” that it took until 2016 for foreign election influence to become a major issue in the U.S.
Something I am thinking a lot about is the risk posed by the large concentration of pro-democracy media on Substack. On the one hand, it facilitates those outlets growth, which is important. On the other, it’s clear their investors are looking to maximize money and an eventual exit.
DiSabato: Jim Jordan knew that Dr. Strauss was performing unnecessary genital exams. And he absolutely knew that Dr. Strauss was taking showers with us on a daily basis.. He knows that because he was there with us. Jim took showers with us.
Trickle-down economics is a stupid economic fairy story because wealth doesn't trickle down from the rich to the poor and ordinary, it's siphoned upwards from the poor and ordinary to the rich.
WHOA. One of Eric Adams' former police commissioners just filed a lawsuit accusing him of running the NYPD like a "racketeering enterprise."
The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.
That would be a dream come true
Perhaps it’s the access to voter rolls and voter machines.
@marcelias.bsky.social
There is currently an NWS flash flood warning in effect for all five boroughs of NYC. But no City agency has posted it on this platform. Please help spread the word. “If you live in a basement apartment or low-lying area, be ready to move to higher ground.”
Imagine leading FEMA and not believing in emergency management. You’d think, as a former governor, she’d know what was going on. But I guess this is what you get when the president’s cabinet is full of unqualified conspiracy theorists. The American people deserve better.
So the Kerr County, Texas commissioners refused Federal ARPA funds for emergency warning systems because of “communism” and the result was they killed over 200 people… This is what hate and GOP rhetoric does to your brain. It’s deadly.
He’s right.
Exactly.
Conway: That’s the problem we have: the courts can’t save us, and Republicans refuse to do their duty—as we saw through two impeachments. At the end of the day, it comes down to whether people like us care enough to say something about it, to stand up, to march, and to vote.
This is how he talks about his own daughter. He’s on the list.
How is Alligator Auschwitz costing $450M a year — this number is astronomical based on $ for housing in state prisons. Who in fresh hell are these contractors and this feels like money laundering. Seriously, HOW? I’m gonna have to do an Everglades deep dive into this — and do pls go and subscribe👇🏼
Seriously this doctor is such a badass. Donated.
If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.
No lies told here.
Espina: It doesn’t matter if you’re Cuban, Mexican, Venezuelan—it doesn’t matter if you’ve been here five years or thirty. When Trump talks about immigrants, he means all of us. That includes people who’ve been here a long time. That includes permanent residents
When I got this notification I thought, what could this possibly be about! LMAO.

The Fort Bragg thingis extremely bad but the fact that they screened the soldiers for political views is key. The propaganda is meant to make us afraid. Don’t be complacent but don’t be fooled either.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass reminds us the images of families being torn apart, mothers fearing taking their kids to school, fathers fearing a workplace raid should not be the policy of this nation. #WeBelongHere #ICEOutOfLA
We know it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. It’s easy to feel worn down by our democracy being chipped away. YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS FIGHT. Look at this map of NO KINGS protests. There are OVER 1,800 in the US, South America & Europe! This is a GLOBAL stand. Join us on JUNE 14th for NO KINGS ❌👑
Now everyone will go look up the book and it will make NY Times. #sighs #booksky #writingcommunity
San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat
With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?
GOP: “The best kind of healthcare is…a job.” 🤦♀️ They couldn’t be more out of touch if they tried, folks. #johnthune
Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.
Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:” “It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” Nailed it! 🔥
RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.
The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M
I’m so so sorry, Marc.
Florida tried and failed to pass its own proof-of-citizenship voting bill. Even “voting integrity” groups hated it. Why? Because it didn’t go far enough for them. Keep being loud and making your voice heard. We have power — now is the time to fight back.
These pieces of shit are relentless. I’m thankful for you everyday, Marc. Truly.
Don’t miss @timmiller.bsky.social, @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social, and Crooked’s @jonlovett.bsky.social live in DC on June 6!

Today, we remember Uvalde. We remember the 19 children and 2 teachers who were mercilessly gunned down. The kids who hid underneath their dead classmates to survive. The parents who had to submit DNA to identify their own babies. We need an assault weapons ban. Now.
This week, I met with federal workers that President Trump fired. I will keep fighting for them and the work they’ve done every day in Congress.

Never back down to a bully—especially when the facts are on your side.
Harvard just flipped the switch. They’re not teaching you the Constitution for fun. They’re teaching it because your rights are being gutted in real time while you scroll memes and vote for your own executioners.
Another big FU from Harvard… free online courses on the US government, the US constitution, civic engagement, and more. pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...
Abrego Garcia
Kagan’s dissent in tonight’s shadow docket gutting of limits on pres. removal powers comes close to asserting the majority’s decision is illegitimate, saying they skipped the legal analysis for a stay, and decided the case before even hearing it, and I think she should just come out and say it
CNN sucks.
Are we great yet?
“If you haven’t been poor, don’t legislate for the poor.” - Rep Lateefah Simon, CA-12
This is a very nice thought. However, in my experience, the people who didn’t care to pay attention before continue to not pay any attention now.
McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"
McIver: "If I'm gonna be charged with a crime for doing my job, it just speaks to where we're headed in this country."
DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research? RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research D: I just read them to you! R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them
Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*
