Is this person still a United States Attorney?
Trump's militarization of law enforcement is not only dangerous, it's against the law. The Framers were afraid of tyrants turning standing armies against the people in the 18th century, and we reject it in the 21st.
NEW: Trump family has now made $5 billion off its corrupt crypto deals. Your family gets higher energy prices and cuts to health care. His family gets billions. Corruption, plain and simple. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
In this week's @runforsomething.net feel-good update, we hit a HUGE milestone. More people have signed up to run for office since the election in November than did in the *entirety* of Trump's first term. The present is bleak, the future could be bright. Read it all.
Thom Tillis and Marco Rubio deserve endless ridicule for many things, but their worst transgression may be siccing Bill Belichick on the Tar Heels. Oh, and the right wing UNC Board of Governors can kick rocks.
Iâm a lifelong Tar Heel fan, was cheering for them at the start of the game and was thrilled about the first two possessions. Now that itâs clear weâre ass, Iâm actually enjoying hatewatching Belichick and his downfall.
Portland, Maine crowd as Democratic US Senate candidate Graham Platner takes the stage today.
Together with the labor movement of Maine, together with Bernie Sanders â We will defeat the oligarchy, and we will defeat Susan Collins.
Belichick sucks. The Cowboys suck. I miss basketball.
Happy Labor Day! Unions secured the 40-hour work week, safer job sites, and fairer pay. Now Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to tear that legacy apart. Today and every day, we stand with all American workers.
As your Senator, I will work to make life easier for every North Carolinian. If you are tired of lies and empty promises, this campaign is for you.

Thank you! Every dollar counts - and every dollar goes a long way - in small special elections like these!
But if you use flag to beat up a policeman at the US Capital, you get a job in the Justice Department.
There are a lot of very nervous Republicans in Iowa tonight. This is the 4th Iowa Special election this year showing that 20+ Dem overperformance. Kim Reynolds is the most unpopular Governor in the country. Joni Ernst has been a gaffe-machine. And their House Rs can see the writing on the wall.
Iowa Democrats are averaging a 24-point overperformance in Special Elections this year. In 2024, Iowa Republicans won... #IA01 by .2 points #IA02 by 16 points #IA03 by 4 points Throw in what could be close races for #IAGov and #IASen AND I AM TELLING YOU, DO NOT SLEEP ON IOWA IN 2026.
My very small $ donation wasnât the difference, but goes to show that local races matter, tons are winnable and all should be highlighted! Accounts like @trumpstaxes.com and @the-downballot.com and of course @thedlcc.bsky.social (and more) do a great job of hyping lesser-known contests.
Whoa! I donated to Catelin Drey over a month ago after the amazing @trumpstaxes.com highlighted her long-shot special election in Iowa. Not gonna lie, I tuned it out these last couple weeks. Iâve been tuning most politics out. Just logged onto this app again, and saw that she won!!!!
What if Russia sends sharks with lasers on their heads and they grab onto the windmill at the bottom and then the centrifugal force hurls them onto our territory and then boom, there's laser sharks right on your street, President Trump is very concerned about that and every American should be too
These fascists are clowns
looking through some old posts and stumbled on this. the other day chris murphy said the military occupation of dc was a distraction from epstein. a month ago, they were calling epstein a distraction.
When they say itâs not something, itâs exactly that. thehill-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/thehill....
Residents of California, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are hit the hardest.
They're going to spike everyone's energy prices. Your energy prices are going up and it's Trump's fault. Plain as day.
Iâll grant him that they are equivalent.
the two biggest information polluters on the planet right now -- short-form video and chatbots -- work on exactly the same underlying architecture: delivering highly personalized garbage that has been sweetened by a host of psychological engagement tricks all while concealing the delivery process.
They say phones only make us miserable but I just got this news alert and laughed for a solid minute so who is to say
Nina Turner is an unserious grifter
so.... this feels anti energy-independence and then some... www.cnbc.com/2025/08/20/t...
Donated yesterday. I usually donât give to senate races since they cost tens of millions when all is said and done â but Sherrod Brown is worth it. So grateful to have you running. Same with my awesome former gov Roy Cooper. #FlipTheSenate #VoteBlue
âHow bad slavery wasâ.
IT. IS. NOT. A. CRIME. CRACKDOWN. My GOD, ppl. Just waltzing carefree into the wide open arms of authoritarianism.
We all know these deals are too fake to have the normal documentation of a formal trade agreement. What's extra moronic is that they're too fake to even have, like, the 1 page documentation of Trump's prior trade "deals". We still haven't lowered the tariff on Japanese/Korean cars as we promised!
Oof. Watch Elise Stefanik get booed off the stage at an event in her home district today. If this is how sheâs welcomed in #NY21, I canât wait to see how sheâs welcomed across the state when she runs for #NYGov. Video courtesy of Addison Dick from NY Dems over on X.

Trump is a disgrace
Standing up for workers. Treating everyone with dignity and respect. Working as hard as possible for the people of Ohio. I've tried to live my life by those principles. But these days that's not what's happening in Washingtonâso I'm running for Senate.
Newsom is really calling out the press here: How is it that the press is up in arms about Newsom's comparable postings and not really scrutinizing Trump's?
Trump approval hits new low of 42.1 in our average www.gelliottmorris.com/i/159456631/...
I've seen people either saying, Oh corny. Or, oh he's just running for President. And my thought is, AWESOME. Let the 2028 Dem Prez primary be about who can fight against Trump and for our democracy and our rights the most effectively and aggressively and let it begin today.
This feels very disrespectful to Alex Sarr
Proud of Valerie Foushee!
Did you know that the Founders were so vehemently against having a standing army that might do what Comer is calling for that they explicitly wrote into the Constitution that Congress has to reauthorize the existence of the Army every two years or the entire thing has to disband?
Even though I'm not an NYC resident and in the midwest, these videos of people meeting, laughing, and just having a good time are uplifting at times like this. For those of us trapped in red states, knowing that there are bastions of hope and we aren't alone is so appreciated!
The president is lying Itâs not hard to say.
Americans elected the dumbest person on the planet. This is an astonishing level of ignorance.
Holy Toledo!
I feel like half of Harry Entenâs videos are like âTrump is stronger than ever and nobody can stop him!â and the other half are like âheâs so unpopular, heâs completely cooked!â
Benny Johnson, Karoline Leavitt, âBig Ballsâ and ofc Donald Trump are four people who have no business being discussed in a White House briefing room. And yet hear we are.
Turns out Trump's solution to his disastrous jobs reports is to just not have jobs reports at all.
With the Sherrod for Senate news today, worth noting that @gelliottmorris.com's model has Trump with net negative approval of -1.8 in Ohio as of today. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data?utm_c...
Flag: Democrat Sherrod Brown has decided to run in 2026 for U.S. Senate in Ohio, according to local labor leaders Brown told of his thinking. Brown's decision gives Ohio Democrats perhaps their best hope of unseating incumbent Jon Husted. www.cleveland.com/news/2025/08...
Completely unqualified hack. The Trump administration is an affirmative action speak for mediocre white guys. It's kind of a reverse-DEI.
Koh: If he were serious about cutting crime he wouldn't be proposing cutting $400 million from the ATF or cutting $500 million from the FBI, 700 agents or the DEA with with drug enforcement or the office of violence against women, 100 million from there
Would Cartwright run again? Any other strong Dem there?
Matt Taibbi claims that the media promotion of "Russiagate" is a worse scandal than the Iraq WMDs intelligence failure, which helped justify a war that killed a million people.
Trump is a disaster
We've become so accustomed to lawbreaking that this probably won't ripple much, but it is important not to forget that firing the IRS Commissioner for refusing to break the law--if that's in fact what happened here--would and should prompt immediate articles of impeachment in any other presidency.
Michael Whatley has no intention of representing the working people of NC. Heâs running for Senate to represent Donald Trump and him alone. Thatâs bad news for NC.
Do not further disgrace yourself by doing what you know is wrong â you are likely to lose to Ken Paxton either way. - Congressman Greg Casar (2/2)
Dear Senator Cornyn: John. We know each other. You were one of the only Republicans to reach out to me when I joined Congress. You are causing long-term harm to American democracy by encouraging federal law enforcement to arrest lawmakers over political disagreements. (1/2)
Itâs about fairness in womenâs sports.
Hey Chris Wright: The 1990s called. They want their fossil fuel industry-funded climate denial talking points back. #ScienceUnderSiege
Just in case itâs not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a âdefend your cultureâ slogan.
Outrageous! Must be why he wasnât available to meet about his Big Bonanza for Billionaires Bill which will devastate Ohio manufacturing jobs and our rural hospitals. The Army Corps of Engineers should share records with relevant committees of jurisdiction in Congress.
Just as a reminder, the year is 2025âŚ
Like, if you want to burst the AI bubble by making all of the Capex basically impossible. This is not a bad way to do it.
Zohran Mamdani just released a statement about Cuomo working with Trump:
Then release the files!!!
The Solar for All program significantly reduces electric bills for nearly a million working class Americans, creates many thousands of jobs and cuts carbon emissions. Thatâs why the Trump administration wants to illegally cut it. We wonât let them.
I joined @foushee.house.gov in urging EPA Administrator Zeldin to reverse the closure of the Office of Research and Development. This office protects our air, water, and health. Cutting it would hurt communities across North Carolina and the country.
Cancelling the very thing that saved countless lives during COVID-19 isnât just foolish, itâs irresponsible, and it weakens our ability to respond to future health crises.
But they want to tell you that we canât afford Medicare for All
So many climate impacts are matters of odds: Bad thing (heatwave, drought, etc.) used to happen but is now more likely. It's hard to tell a compelling story around that. Wildfire smoke is different: For many of us, it's a visible, harmful form of weather that didn't really exist 10 years ago.
Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.
Increasingly understanding "energy dominance" to mean energy authoritarianism. Rooftop and community solar helps democratize energy production, putting money in consumer pockets instead of centralized utilities. Illegally cutting these grants disempowers lower-income communities, in every sense.
Everything's on the table. Republicans are using every method they can, whether it's cheating or breaking the law. We've got to do everything we can to stand up and fight back â we're not sitting around and complaining from the sidelines when we have the ability to stop them.
This woman shouldâve been our president in 2016 and 2020. Hell, she should be our president in 2028. Social Democracy with a plan to do it. #DreamBigFightHardWin
Donald Trump just oversaw the worst 3-month period of job growth since COVID. Our economy is coming crashing down because of his policies that abandon working people and put billionaires first.
Is anyone on the left actually upset about Sydney Sweeney? I couldn't care less and haven't met a single person who does. Another manufactured scandal.
Q: Should New York's independent redistricting commission should be disbanded? Gov. Kathy Hochul: "Yes. I'm tired of fighting this fight with my hand tied behind my back."
Lying is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes
We canât treat our supporters like shit. No amount of money is worth the hit to the relationship.
Both of them are way better than Haley Stevens, and I want the @dscc.bsky.social to quit backing Stevens in this primary.
The worst ones are people like Hassett, who are very aware that they are lying to the American people week after week on Sunday shows to cover for Trump, but do it effortlessly with a smile. In many ways worse than the brainless cultists. bsky.app/profile/atru...
He straight up, deliberately lies about demonstrable facts (the jobs revision happened before not after the election and Trump called it out at the time!) and no reporter challenges him on it. No Sunday show host challenged his officials about his lies. He gets away with it.
The core problem isnât that Trump canât do math & doesnât understand what it means to âcut pricesâ by more than 100% â rather, itâs that there are people who actually believe this can be true & an entire political movement & media ecosystem that encourage it.
To my fellow Democratic Donors: Please contribute wisely! Donât be suckered in by dramatic text message requests from random groups. Odds are you arenât helping the cause at all. Do your due diligence before sending any money anywhere.
Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas Houseâdecided to get the hell out of Texas⌠breaking quorum is where theyâre at right now. And they didnât just do it by themselvesâthey went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.
Thank you, George! Itâs important having voices from all political backgrounds saying this!!
At a minimum, war crimes. And other labels are a matter of fair debate. Israel had every right to respond with massive force after October 7, and there was necessarily going to be significant collateral damage as a result of that, and of Hamasâs use of the Gazan population as human shields. But...
Weâve been warning Texas Republicans for weeks that if they want a showdown, weâd give them a showdown. Thatâs exactly what Texas Democrats did today. The DNC will proudly fight alongside them to stop this anti-democratic assault.
In another gift to the fossil fuel polluters, Trump's EPA moves to weaken its own legal authority to combat the worsening climate crisis. Deregulated greenhouse gas emissions undermines public health and can lead to dangerous respiratory problems.
The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand: $678M raised through those spam tactics $282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies. $11M to actual campaigns (1.6%) The party isnât just treating donors like marksâitâs being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.
If you're ruthless for the right, you get money put behind you. If you're ruthless for the left, you get money put against you. America First Legal got >$50 million in funding. A left version of the same would get attacked by Dem orgs and donors, and everyone associated with it blacklisted forever.
A lot of people hate the Republicans because they are evil. A lot of those very same people hate the Democrats because the Democrats have been so ineffective in fighting evil.
Chuck Schumer cannot continue as the Democratic Leader in the Senate. I say that as someone whoâs been a fan of his in the past. Contemporary politics is about optics. Schumer is an awful communicator in the year 2025.
The sad and fundamental truth is that neither the Obama administration nor the Clinton campaign took Russian electoral interference seriously, meaning that now, a decade on, Russiaâs man keeps trying to prove that heâs not. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/u...
