The corruption is blatant.

MAGA MOC are proudly, loudly, backing the most corrupt president in American history, and paying themselves on backs of starving, uninsured, unpaid, and/or out-of/work American citizens.

Thank you, @repsuhas.bsky.social , for continuing to fight this horrid regime.

Itโ€™s outrageous that our elected officials would rather funnel our money overseas, to places like Argentina and Hungary, than invest in healthcare or help families put food on the table through SNAP.

How do they justify this?

What is wrong with them?

The Epstein files released today did not come from the DOJ's Epstein Files. They came from Epstein's estate. Pam Bondi is still protecting Trump at all costs. Today's release by Democrats was aimed at undermining her efforts. And to make it harder for Donald to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.

Women didnโ€™t ruin the workplace. Capitalism did When your debate centers on whether women should exist in public, youโ€™ve already lost.

Did women ruin the workplace? No! Did I personally ruin my own weekend writing about the cynical fuckery that led to the New York Times asking that question? I sure did!

Trump is out there throwing around money like heโ€™s a king... For a fun comparison, the Trump family has made more than 20 times that amount each and every *hour* since Trump took office.

Supreme Court to decide if mail-in ballots may arrive after Election Day An appeals court found that federal law requires all ballots be received by Election Day.

The Supreme Court announced it would decide whether laws that allow states to count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day are constitutional, a case that could upend how elections are run in dozens of states across the country.

Tariffs Are Hurting the People Theyโ€™re Meant to Help The recent trade truce struck between the US and China is welcome news, but it will hardly erase the damage tariffs are still inflicting on American consumers and workers, including two groups who have strongly backed the president: farmers and factory workers.

Some of the president's biggest supporters โ€” farmers and factory workers โ€” have suffered the most from his misguided trade war. (via Bloomberg Opinion)

"The Appeasement Eight gave Republicans bipartisan cover, and established another point of leverage Trump has over Congressional Dems...in a rapidly backsliding democracy, harm is happening no matter what. Therefore, preventing authoritarian consolidation is the most harm-reducing move."

Democrats Have to Get Out of a Normal Democracy Mindset By folding in the government shutdown in exchange for virtually nothing, eight Democratic senators aid Trump's authoritarian takeover rather than oppose it

This shutdown was better than no shutdown, but @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social is right that it could have been better and achieved more. And that the country needs a real, strong, committed opposition party. Not there yet. www.arcdigital.media/p/democrats-...
