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…

#ICYMI: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Saving Democracy Comes at Cost Mihaela is ready to stay out of Texas “as long as it takes to save democracy” — but she can’t do it alone.

Wanna help our TX House Dems hold the line? Many members, like @plesafortexas.bsky.social, districts are being bombarded by oppo texts. They need $ to counter that & make sure their constituents know the truth about what & why they’re fighting. They’ve got our backs, time to have theirs!Donate here:

Seriously.

Anyone else have hundreds of Bimbo photos with “no posts yet” following you? LOL.

Robert Reich The Real Reason the Economy Might Collapse | Robert Reich

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.

Here’s a 🔥🔥exchange between me and Mick Mulvaney during @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's brilliant interview of Mulvaney on Al Jazeera's Head to Head. The whole episode is worth a watch, and you can find it on @aljazeera.com's YouTube channel.

They won’t rush to help Texans in crisis.
They won’t rush to fund our schools.
But when it’s about keeping power? Texas Republicans drop everything.
The people of Texas deserve better than this corrupt, cowardly process.

Donald Trump is trying to rig the next election.

He told Republicans to redraw the political maps in Texas to give himself 5 more seats and protect his majority in Congress.

This is the rot at the core of our broken political system.

🚨 Texas Republicans dropped a mid-decade redistricting map while Texans are still recovering from devastating floods.
“This is cheating in broad daylight—racially motivated and anti-democratic.”

Yes.

Happening now. Right now. See Tulsi. See Kash. See Mike Lee. See coordinated GOP messaging.

Please understand that it will be impossible to get off this roller coaster ride.

Epstein is a mortal threat to Trump. No lie will be too large.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

It’s hard to imagine how utterly corrupt the Republican Party has become even in six months. This will definitely bite them in the ass and they will go down in history as helping to bring down the American empire.

His name was planted in the files that don't exist. Got it.

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West." Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about. In fact I know you do." Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

A new analysis projects a 24% cut to Social Security benefits by late 2032. Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will cause sharp cuts to Social Security by late 2032, a new analysis says.

🚨 #SocialSecurity is on the chopping block. Thanks to Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” retirees are now staring down $18,000-a-year benefit cut in just seven years. Seniors who paid in their whole lives are left holding the bag.
– $13,600 cut for a typical retired couple.

Houston congressional candidate Isaiah Martin was violently thrown to the ground and arrested yesterday for objecting to Republicans gerrymandering in Texas. Republicans win by cheating.

Isaiah Martin spoke out as the leader he is and was arrested. 🤬

WE DEMAND HIS RELEASE!!

Via John Colbert.

Republicans are the Deep State.

Amazing stuff happening on the other site.

If you caught Eye on Texas Politics last Sunday morning—thanks for tuning in!

If not, here’s the short version:
Trump wants new maps, and Abbott’s delivering. Meanwhile, Texans are still dealing w/flood damage.

Our priorities are way off. And the special session is focused on the wrong issues!

Rep. Plesa from Collin County

We are now hearing from @plesafortexas.bsky.social. She is the first Democrat representing Collin County in thirty years. Says that if Collin goes blue, Texas goes blue.

I just held a rally in Plano, TX — a red part of the state — and 1,000 people showed up.

Many said it was their first political rally ever.

There’s something happening in Texas…

We are not all addled like he is or members of the cult. It’s painfully obvious that he is deflecting from the deep shit he is in.
