AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Nearly 8 in 10 Americans agree that spending by wealthy donors and corporations in our elections gives rise to corruption — including majorities of Republican and independent voters.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

We must overturn Citizens United.

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

A tweet from Olivia George reads: “A Homeland Security agent working with D.C. police shot at a man during a traffic stop. A D.C. police officer told a judge he was instructed by a superior not to document the shooting in a court record, lawyers told @EmmaUber7 & me.”

A paragraph from a news article explains that a federal agent shot at an unarmed Black man during a traffic stop while working with D.C. police. Lawyers accuse city police of misconduct because the gunfire was omitted from the incident report. A D.C. police officer testified that a superior told him not to record the shooting in court documents, and all charges against the man were later dropped.

A follow-up tweet from Olivia George says: “We’ve updated the story with some more details.” She adds that a DHS spokesperson stated the agent fired “in fear for his life,” claiming the man drove at officers in an attempt to run them down. However, a D.C. officer testified that no law enforcement officers were in front of the car and that the man merely bumped into another civilian vehicle.

Someone must lose their job over this cover up.

Banana republic shit.

The sudden appearance of all these Trump administration accounts on Bluesky is ominous. They're not here in good faith and they're not here to troll.

They're setting something up. It likely has to do with a coming attack on Bluesky.

Do not stay home tomorrow. We must stand up.

UVA students are saying HELL NO to Trump’s corrupt college “contract.” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Jimmy Kimmel:
“When you're making your #NoKings posters,
remember...
Donald Trump LOVES a good nickname.” 😂

The trump regime is setting up official agency accounts here on BlueSky, and they’re dragging their MAGA trolls with them. Block liberally.

He's not opening the government because he doesn't want those secret files revealed. It's not complicated.

Americans Are Paying The Tariffs

How the United States is eating Trump's tariffs U.S. companies and consumers are bearing the brunt of the country's new import tariffs, early indications show, contradicting assertions by President Donald Trump and complicating the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation.

"Through the first months of Trump's new trade regime it is U.S. companies that are footing the bill for his tariffs, and passing on some of it to the consumer - with more price hikes likely..."

It’s what I'm fighting to prevent.

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?
