The flood of billionaire money that will come against Graham Platner is no accident.

Whether it is AI, AIPAC or crypto, billionaire-funded super PACs will spend hundreds of millions to defeat candidates who stand with working people and challenge their power.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.

Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

[Jon Pessah @JonPessah]

Bernie has been fighting for this for years and years. It requires people with money and power to give up the advantages they have thanks to their money and power. Will enough of the elites allow us to take down the corrupt Citizens United decision and give away their power? Hmm

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

This week, my amendment to ban billionaire-funded super PACs received unanimous support from my Democratic colleagues.

The momentum is growing. It’s time to repeal Citizens United, ban super PACs and move to the public funding of elections NOW.

At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family.

That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know.

I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.

@Scaramucci @FfaceVonFstick Don’t forget how much their nuke program advanced, the trillions of dollars of damage to the economy, decimation of our missile stock piles, destruction of our bases in the Middle East — and lives lost.

All because we have an insecure, psycho idiot at the helm

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

He didn't start any wars.
He didn't alienate our allies.
He created/recovered 16M jobs.
He signed the infrastructure bill.
He signed the CHIPS Act.
He signed the PACT Act.
He didn't build monuments to glorify himself.
He didn't use the presidency to enrich himself.
He didn't threaten to wipe out an entire civilization.

We were BETTER off under Biden.

I’ve read (& written about at this link) the majority opinion & the dissent in Callais, where the Court gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act without actually overruling it. I know the history, & have lived through & litigated some of it. I’m left with this question. https://t.co/3zQJ21MgaZ

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Justice Kagan:

"I dissent. The Voting Rights Act is—or, now more accurately, was—'one of the most consequential, efficacious, and amply justified exercises of federal legislative power in our Nation's history.' It was born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers. It ushered in awe-inspiring change, bringing this Nation closer to fulfilling the ideals of democracy and racial equality. And it has been repeatedly, and overwhelmingly, reauthorized by the people's representatives in Congress. Only they have the right to say it is no longer needed—not the Members of this Court. I dissent, then, from this latest chapter in the majority's now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act."

Our Town Hall on Sunday has a venue change. It is no longer at the American Legion, and instead at the Port Jefferson Village Center at 2 PM. We hope to see everyone there!

@AdamKinzinger There is no such thing as a concerned Republican. Please stop asking when “they” will step up. Republicans are all in this together.

[Chris Gallant @_gallantny]

Public service means showing up when people need help, not when it’s politically convenient.

In 2024, record flooding devastated parts of the North Shore, damaging areas around Stony Brook Village and Blydenburgh County Park. Families, businesses, and community spaces were impacted, yet federal funding took nearly two years to arrive.

Why did it take so long?

Communities should never have to wait for help because of election timing. Leadership means fighting for resources when people need them most, not holding action until it becomes politically useful. Congressman Nick LaLota had the opportunity to push harder and sooner for this district.

That’s why I’m running.

As a veteran, service has always been at the center of my life. I believe Long Island deserves leadership that puts people before politics and delivers real results for our communities.

If you believe we need accountable leadership and stronger advocacy for Long Island, visit my website, get involved, and help us bring good governance back to our district.

Hegseth Says Iran Cease-Fire Stops Clock for Congressional Approval https://t.co/EDrjH6mmTa via @NYTimes

And the moon is made of cheese.

This administrations thinks saying something is true makes it so.

60 days is the law. Count on GOP to ignore this, just like Epstein files.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Saying that Trump is bad President who routinely deploys violent rhetoric and is a unique threat to liberal Democracy are appropriate and true statements. We should be full-throated in our condemnation of political violence and violent rhetoric. But we should continue to tell the truth about Trump.

[Jon Pessah @JonPessah]

@MilesTaylorUSA But what if we don’t believe it was real?

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: For the first time since 2010, a Fox News poll shows that American voters trust Democrats more than Republicans on the economy. This is huge.

[Jon Pessah @JonPessah]

@donwinslow Agreed. but isn't everything that comes out of this White House serious BS?

[Jon Pessah @JonPessah]

Trump on campaign trail: "I'll bring prices down on Day 1."

Of course, Trump never said Day 1 of what year.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fox News just admitted that under Donald Trump's leadership, a pound of beef is now more expensive than the minimum wage. This is insane.

[The Halfway Post @HalfwayPost]

BREAKING: A new poll in Hungary found that JD Vance's visit to Budapest made Viktor Orbán's party lose 3% of its support.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Donald Trump thinks Iran doesn't know that it's an election year.

He cannot win this war no matter how many bombs he drops.

This war is a loser
Trump is a loser.
And he's making America a loser.
