1/ This is the new normal. Billionaires and opaque money are not just buying ads and buying the media. They are buying the social layer of politics through paid posts that look organic. If we do not treat this as a system, it will keep scaling. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Launching a war to distract us from the Epstein case, without a plan, is plunging us into grotesque chaos, no vision, no answers, just Trump and his incompetent cronies groping around, convinced that luck alone will be enough to fix the disaster they created themselves.

Host: 6 U.S. service members were killed when their plane crashed in Iraq. But from the time his briefing started, Pete Hegseth didn't even mention those deaths for nearly 9 minutes. Instead, he spent much of that time complaining about media coverage.

GOP combs Talarico’s archives to cast him as radical leftist Talarico has suggested he would communicate some of his views differently today, but stood by the principles behind the comments Republicans are using to tar him as an extreme liberal.

Republicans say (loudly and frantically) that these Talarico quotes make him too radical for Texas. Each one is backed by data, science, or theology, and each was made in the context of countering racism, transphobia, white supremacy, or another form of hatred.

The chaos.
The global disruption.
The collapsing of institutions and societies.

It is all part of #PeterThiel's (Bannon, Curtis Yarvin, et al) plan. #TechnoFascists
And it's all proceeding to schedule.

Meanwhile, we're here on social media, fighting each other over semantics.

TSA would be getting paid & airports would be back to normal, if Mike Johnson would allow this funding bill to go to the floor.

Only DHS’s ICE & CBP would not be funded because Dems are fighting to protect our Constitutional rights that ICE & CPB ignore or trample. Dems are upholding their oaths.

Pictures of 28 Republican Senators-22 of them are running in 2026. The text says “52 Senate Republicans voted against reining in Trump’s war with Iran.”

Trump has been stealing Congressional powers for over a year, the GOP Senators gave him a free pass to continue ignoring the checks and balances by allowing him to continue his war w/ no purpose or plan.

Vote for whoever opposes them in ‘26. We need Senators who will be a check on the Executive.
