Now somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
And one day, his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young Rocky in the eye
Rocky didn't like that...

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social says Republicans have been successful with a clear message of division, which helps Trump, Musk and the Billionaires keep us divided as they “get away with highway robbery” — and to counter that Dems need to be equally clear in their message of solidarity.

Collins: Speaker Johnson that Republicans are actually the party that wants to fix health care by addressing issues with it, as he says they did in the one big beautiful bill.

Sanders: Did he really say that? They're trying to fix health care by throwing 15 million people off of it?

AOC: I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care. I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

BREAKING: Even Mike Johnson Can’t Defend Donald Trump’s Argentina First Agenda

Mike Johnson just was interviewed on television by Manu Raju and tied himself in rhetorical knots trying to defend Donald Trump’s latest disaster — a $20 billion bailout for Argentina.

We are the many, and they are the few. DO NOT ENGAGE. Keep MLK and Gandhi in mind - peaceful resistance. And beware of "false flag" actors who will confront or attack ICE or cops.

We’re just days away from #NoKings Day and the world is about to roar.

Over 2,500 protests in all 50 states.

One message: we will not kneel to wannabe kings.

October 18 will be the largest day of peaceful defiance in American history, because when tyranny rises, courage catches fire.

Vance obviously figured out in 2022 that his only path to the Senate was to go full MAGA and lean hard into the dickishness of the movement for the new persona he created. But deciding that there is no limit to how far you will go in your awfulness is certainly a choice.

Hey can I get a quick check-in from all the "I Voted For This" MAGAs on flushing $40 billion of taxpayer money down the toilet to bail out Argentina for some reason? Can you explain your reasoning in demanding tens of billions of dollars of our cash go to a country we have very little to do with?

Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had enough of the right wing-lies. As Dems continue to show up to try and make a deal to reopen the government, Pelosi was confronted by a reporter asking about January 6th. Pelosi snapped back telling her to "shut up".

No doubt MAGA and Rethugs are working desperately to interfere or stop the midterms. I cannot imagine ONE Republican getting elected or re-elected after what they have allowed this moron to do to our country.
