BISS FOR CONGRESS

We set a big fundraising goal for May, and thanks to supporters like you, we're nearly three-quarters of the way there.

[BAR GRAPH WITH 0% to 100%, filled at 73%]

Now we've just got a few days left to close the gap. These early milestones matter -- it determines what kind of campaign we're running and what we can build next as we plan our strategy for the summer and beyond.

We can't fall short now. Can you chip in today before our deadline and help us finish the month strong?

🧡 Let's talk about campaign emails!

Misleading emails like this one from my opponent are exactly what’s wrong with Democratic fundraising. In reality, there’s no May 31 FEC deadline (the next one is June 30) and these fake deadlines are used to create a false sense of urgency.

Why?

there was a brief period of time where i thought jordan peterson would be a big threat to the left but i now view him as a harmless jester that dances for our amusement

whining out loud during a televised interview that the reporter should let you lie bc they owe you for the interview is pretty wild

the addition of the pride flag at the end is such the perfect representation of why we critique rainbow capitalism. he doesn’t give a shit about queer people but only when he has to pivot to try to turn a profit. otherwise he has no problem throwing queer folks under the bus

Detain him with plainclothes masked men, send him to a Louisiana jail and don’t tell his lawyers where he is or you’re not serious about stopping shit.

am i losing my mind or is this an insane reaction at someone asking the most popular former president to stop making netflix movies and to instead do something to counter incoming fascism

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

I really do love that Penn Jilette was a lifelong libertarian anarcho-capitalist who was just like "whoops! Yeah, sorry, completely wrong on that one. Bullshit ideology for losers" in 2020. I really do! An inspiring lack of ego on him

Elon Musk’s business empire is built on $38 billion in government funding Government infusions at key moments helped Tesla and SpaceX flourish, boosting Musk’s wealth.

Exclusive: Over the years, Elon Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits, often at critical moments, helping seed the growth that has made him the world’s richest person.

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic

And what's more leftist than that

You might think you’d like to be the richest man on earth, but the sociopathy that requires and drama it creates would be absolute hell. Would rather live in the woods

Pretty telling that the comparison here is β€œsomeone scolding you via a video you saw on Facebook that you found annoying” and β€œcomplete disregard for legal protections and long standing peaceful cooperation between nations”. It’s actually pretty accurate to how conservatives view the world

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

The unified conservative worldview is that no matter how much power they have they will never stop being pissbabies

turns out when transphobes said we need to β€œfollow the science” what they meant is delete it and hide all traces of it
