Tonight was a very bad night.

This is SO disappointing. As was the fact that your mailbox was full when I tried to call you earlier. Rep leaders lie repeatedly and you should know better. This is a loss that will hurt the party and by extension the country, and deeply. Shame on you.

At least my retiring senator didn’t fall for Thune’s “promises”.

But the fact that they’re not running for reelection makes the donor argument moot.

I couldn’t be more disappointed in you. The Rep Party has consistently lied about their intentions, but even if the dec vote is held, it’s still just that, a vote. This does nothing to help the American ppl - ppl Will still be harmed just in a different way, when you swap no food for no insurance

When the world goes mad...sanity becomes rebellion. Stay sane.

No shit. The list of things I’d do if I were a billionaire is long, and involves giving most of it away (billionaires shouldn’t exist 💅🏻) but top of it would be funding campaigns to primary the democrats who have completely missed the moment and bought the promise of a future *vote* on the ACA

Schumer put the nail in his own coffin and the Democratic Leadership. It's done. Just a matter of time. Ditto Centrists.

They have misread the moment and the rage of the people.

Trump and MAGA will continue playing them because they know they are weak.

Imagine calling someone an asshole because they were upholding the law, especially in a time where election security is under such heavy scrutiny. This is the epitome of entitlement.

It’s the way he blinks as he says it. Lying, and not well!

I’m just going to say it…

It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

Daily Dose of @dewayneforminneapolis.com #6 (w a twist)

Did you know that DeWayne's father was the 1st cousin of late blues artist B.B. King? They sharecropped together in the 40s and he was in B.B.'s First Band (see pic). DeWayne had a short stint as a trumpet player, and remains a gifted singer.

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

But there is nothing noble or respectable about what Vought is doing, about his vision for the country. He is a fully competent, utterly committed radical ideologue. He lusts for counter-revolution and radical measures. There is no line he doesn’t feel justified to cross.

Help! I came across an article in the last few days about so many of our tech billionaires having autism, and the relation between that, algorithms, and an increasingly isolated society. Or something along those lines? Anyone have a lead for me on who wrote that? I can’t find it anywhere.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Not sure that anyone’s tracking, but TikTok just updated its community guidelines and announced it will now allow government entities to advertise on the platform.

Political ads from parties and advocacy groups are still banned.

Seems like a massive information imbalance.

The most important thing to know about Trump’s manufactured crisis in DC is that his administration is still covering up what’s in the Epstein files.

C’mon Jake, what does she have to lose? She knows full well what the administration is asking of her, this should actually just be the tip of the iceberg

Maybe that’s where the list that doesn’t exist is hiding!

Really though, his heart doesn’t even seem in this.

The Oligarchs' Coup Against the Free Press Is Happening Now The American information space is not merely changing; it is undergoing a hostile takeover. It is a deliberate, coordinated campaign by a new class of oligarchs out of Silicon Valley that includes Jef...

The defunding of public media, the gutting of the Washington Post and LA Times, and the cancelation of Stephen Colbert by Paramount is all connected. It's part of a hostile takeover of our entire information space by the oligarchs.

Trump is posting again about Epstein and the WSJ article, ensuring the story he wants to go away stays in the news.

That asshole ordered that a MILLION POUNDS of food be destroyed, rather than disturbed to people in need.

A MILLION POUNDS!

Do not EVER let his minions claim they are Christians.

If Elizabeth Shaffer can’t bring herself to comment on national issues (that impact each and every one of the people she claims to want to represent), she has no business holding office.

It’s mind-blowing to me that there’s not a single corporate news outlet with an update about Dems walking out of a hearing over republicans not following the rules to advance the judicial nomination of a guy who told the courts to fuck off. Nothing on WaPo or NYT yet. Just wild.

Police respond to crime; they don’t prevent it. True crime prevention begins with investing in social programs and expanding opportunities for communities. If you don’t agree with that then you won’t like my page.

it's amusing to me to see Trumpers banging on about Bondi orchestrating an Epstein coverup while refusing to devote an extra thought to who she would be trying to protect

Gutting health care to build concentration camps. What a Fourth.

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirem...

In 2023, while Kristi Noem was governor of South Dakota, she supplemented her income by secretly accepting $80,000 from a dark money group and neither side disclosed it.
