Agree with you on who controls the media—but No excuse for that reporter not knowing that Trump’s claim that Pelosi turned down National Guard has been deemed false and debunked repeatedly since early 2021.

Whoa‼️ Dems could lose 19 seats due to GOP gerrymandering.

CA, UT & MD can’t fight fire with fire alone. Other blue states must step up, and every Democrat needs to vote. Don’t sit out any election.

Push your governors and legislators to act. Tell friends and family to vote. Help them. #YesOnProp50

Let's get @ginafortexas.bsky.social the attention she deserves.

She's running for governor of Texas.

She's running for us. She's not running to keep the billionaires in power. (Greg Abbott is, tho.)

Gina Hinojosa @ginafortexas.bsky.social · 23h

I’m running for governor.

For over a decade, Greg Abbott has made it easier for billionaires to profit while hardworking Texans struggle to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare.

But together, we can make Texas work for Texans again.

Check it out!

From the vault: Mike Johnson said he’d take a blowtorch to the ACA.

Here’s the thing… 45% of marketplace enrollees are Republicans. Cool! So he’s threatening to burn the GOP’s own base. 🔥

I’ve had the good fortune of missing these ads entirely. I can’t believe our tax dollars are funding this crap.

STILL
🤨
farmers, like the overwhelming majority of rural white America, will vote for that racist lying convicted felon
BECAUSE
they will ignore the economic hardship because of the appeal of the racist rhetoric that old orange man spews

JFC! What will it take?

I can’t believe Trump just promised Argentina another $20 billion, bringing the total to $40 billion.

American farmers better be paying attention and rethink their unwavering support for the man.

On the Charlie Kirk show, Vought said federal firings could hit “north of 10,000” during the shutdown.

Companies lay people off to survive. This is different. He sounded like he’s enjoying the chance to fast-track his agenda. This isn’t about saving money, it’s about sabotaging the government.

The con worked, until it didn’t?

ROGAN: “I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals… I really thought there was enough gang members.”

ME: He still doesn’t get it. That’s what Trump wanted everyone to believe. They’re not even trying to go after “the criminals”.

"MAGA aren't worried about what the old rules of politics say. They have heard the footsteps of the Lord of Hosts marching through history, and they understand that rules can be changed. They are exercising every lever of power available to them to do so: legal, institutional, cultural, financial."

Democrats Must Embrace War Mindset

We have exited a long period of peace and entered into a struggle not unlike war, in which all the old certainties have gone malleable and the future of the republic is at stake.

There is nothing better than finding peace and quiet

📷 The Gulf of Corinth, Greece

#WaterWednesday #Wednesday #sunset #sunsetlovers #WordlessWednesday #photography #landscape #scape #nature #thelittlethings #photohour #EastCoastKin

The picture shows a landscape at sunset. In the foreground, the dark branches of a pine tree can be seen, framing the image. In the middle, there is a calm body of water reflecting the warm colors of the sky. A small settlement lies on the shore. In the background, several layers of mountains rise, depicted as dark silhouettes against the sky. The sky is rendered in soft shades of orange, yellow, and gray, with some clouds.
