@BernieSanders So much for "We'll never forget!" (9/11)

Have y’all seen these AI deepfakes they’re making of me?

They don’t have any real attacks, so they’re firing up their data centers and making up fake ones.

I don’t need to use deepfakes. The truth about Ken Paxton is bad enough.

BREAKING: During his speech today, Donald Trump recounted helping save Titanic victims: “I saved more people than anybody, many people, the best people. I said, ‘Turn left, Captain. Very simple. Very easy.’ He didn’t listen. I know icebergs. Nobody knows icebergs better than me.”

NEW AD: AG Paxton’s “Top Cop” Endorses James Talarico

Texas Ranger David Maxwell: “In Texas, no one is above the law — not even the Attorney General. Today, I’m endorsing James Talarico because Texans deserve a Senator who serves the people — not a crook who serves himself.”

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

More evidence that the president of the United States is psychotic. He’s been called out on this lie for many years. Once upon a time he knew he was bullshitting. But he has convinced himself of it now, as he has with all of the other fantasies with which he today soothes his fragile ego and that the world watches and listens to every day.

That’s the end stage of narcissistic sociopathy, of malignant narcissism. He’s rapidly decompensating into psychosis, and it’s accelerating.

Are we really still going to entrust him with the nuclear codes?

Is the media still not going to talk about the president’s depleted mental health?

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Video shows Flock walking police through how to monitor a No Kings protest in real time. I do not have to agree with a single sign at that protest to say this plainly: Surveillance aimed at your political opponents today will be aimed at you tomorrow.

Teachers can only write-off up to $350 worth of classroom supplies on their taxes…

… while CEOs can write off the entire cost of their private jets and yachts.

This is what it looks like when our politicians are owned by billionaires and corporations.

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

Holy shit. A THOUSAND TRADES A MONTH.
50 trades per day. This is a TEAM.

He hired professional traders to use inside information to make money for him on the stock market while he uses every lever in the federal toolkit to pump up equity prices.

Staggering organized crime.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Why would Trump end a program that saves you money by letting you file your taxes for free with the IRS?

Maybe because TurboTax's parent company donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration.

Call it out for what it is: corruption.

[David Doney @David_Charts2]

Krugman: "The reality, however, is that U.S. debt would be much lower as a percentage of GDP, and would barely be in the news at all, without the revenue loss from tax cuts enacted by Republican presidents: George W. Bush in the 2000s, then Donald Trump during both of his terms."

State ownership of the means of production is a communist idea. Why Trump embraces this communist idea is strange to me.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: 50 years ago, a corporate lawyer named Lewis Powell circulated a memo around DC — a blueprint for how corporations could amass political power, reverse the gains of the Great Society and the New Deal, and rig the system for themselves.

The Powell memo outlined a strategy. Unite corporate special interests, privilege corporate perspectives in the media, appoint sympathetic judges to the court, and buy politicians in both political parties.

And it worked. Republicans and some Democrats sold the false gospel of trickle-down economics. Trickle-down economics is not a theory, it is theft.

Since the late 1970s, mega donors and corporate special interests have been buying politicians in both political parties. And then those politicians turned around and rigged the economy to benefit their wealthy donors at our expense.

We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

A group of Democratic lawmakers have asked the Pentagon’s watchdog to open an investigation after The Post revealed that 15 companies with investment from President Trump’s sons have garnered $3.2 billion in federal contracts, investments and loans. https://t.co/2rGxZHIg83

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

The call is coming from inside the White House, @JDVance.

Trump is awarding contracts to family-connected companies, charging Secret Service agents to stay overnight at his properties, and making billions off his office.

The Trump Administration's corruption is off the charts.
