@brainpickings I love my deck!! 💕

Secretive dark money groups have already spent more than $12 million trying to buy this Senate seat for my opponent.

Minnesotans deserve transparency about the real funders behind these ads. Minnesotans are not naive, and Congresswoman Craig shouldn't treat them like they are.

Studies now present a striking picture of what happens when private equity firms acquire hospitals and nursing homes: predictable increases in harm and deaths. One landmark study shows: patient deaths up about 11% after such acquisitions.

In order to understand the true evil of the broligarchs, you need to understand where they come from.

Peter Thiel was raised in the most Nazi town on Earth while his father ran a secret uranium mine for the apartheid S.A. government’s illegal nuclear program.

One you understand that he was a young gay boy who went to a Christian school where they greeted each other with “Heil Hitler” everything makes a lot more sense.

If you invested $10,000 in Trump coin on January 20th, 2025, it would be worth $415 today.

You lost everything. He made half a billion.

NEWS: 29-year-old Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros will defeat 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette in the Democratic primary for CO-01. Kiros, a first-time candidate and former attorney, dominated the Denver assembly and tapped into anti-incumbent sentiment. Kiros was born four months after DeGette first took office.

@RepTroyNehls got fired from a police job for destroying evidence and caught with Stolen Valor wearing a Combat Infantryman Badge the Army stripped from him for over a decade.

“Maybe they don’t work as hard as I do” from a man with that resume aligns with how insane these people are. Texas you deserve better.

Follow us for more blatantly obvious takes. Release the Epstein Files.

[Julian Andreone @JulianAndreone]

Second question to Nehls here was mine. He spoke about enjoying lobster tail and ribeyes on July 4th, so I naturally asked him whether the 60% of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck could enjoy those luxuries.

His reply? Those Americans don't "work as hard" as him, as he heads home for another two-week recess after a two-day work week.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

PabloReports: How do House Republicans make the case that you're fighting for affordability when you go back to your districts?

Nehls: Affordability? What are you talking about? I'm gonna go there tomorrow. I'm gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails. I'm gonna get me some nice rib eyes.

Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford lobster tails and rib eyes and all of that?

Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe the 60% of Americans don't work as hard as I do.

When I heard folks were mad at Jimmy Fallon for putting a rapist on his show I just assumed they meant Donald Trump. @realDonaldTrump

@mouvement33 @jimstewartson lol. Fucking exhausting, am I right?!?

A sold-out crowd sings "Country Roads" after Team USA wins and you call it your revolution. Look at what you're cheering.

First, that's Seattle. One of the bluest cities in one of the bluest states in the country. It didn't vote for Trump and it isn't going to.

And look at the team they're cheering: most of these players come from blue states. New York leads with four, California's next, and the two of them outnumber every red state combined. Six players were born in other countries. Thirteen of the twenty-six hold dual citizenship. More than half are players of color. Your leading scorer in the opener is a London-born Nigerian-American who's eligible only because of an immigration pathway this administration is trying to kill.

Blue cities, immigrant sons, a multiracial squad wearing USA across the chest. You can't carve this team into the part you approve of. It doesn't come apart that way. So yes, it's America. All of it.

The blue states and the red ones, the kids born here and the ones who came, every color on the roster. And that's not the asterisk on why they're winning. That's the reason. The whole country on one field beats half a country divided every time.

Welcome to the Golden Age. It's better than you think, and it's better for every reason you'd cut.

@amylcris @Dr_Knox_2 Not all that funny to me either, seeing as all these nice people are offering to help you. Maybe put on a slip under that skirt, lady, your whiny-baby bigotry is showing through.

Everyone needs to listen to what this man has to say about Trump because it’s all true. Straight up FACTS. 👇👇

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Dear Chris,

I can start by telling you who my audience is not.

It is NOT you.

It is NOT the pundit class that rarely leaves the safety of its Georgetown cocktail parties.

It is NOT the chattering class who gets paid to pretend it knows the mind of the American people.

It is NOT for anyone who looks at everything through the lens of politics.

The people I am talking to are tired of the bullshit.

The people I want to speak with are the 50 million Americans still sick and suffering. The families fighting for the lives of the those they love.

Whether they are people living in the shame and fear of being canceled, or consumed by grief after the loss of someone they love, they are just looking for a slight glimmer of hope that they too can get back up again.

My audience is the people who feel unheard, unseen, and uninvited, just like me.

My audience also includes my perceived enemies, those pitted against me by you and your colleagues in the media. I want to meet them where they are and help build a bridge. A bridge built of that which connects all of us. That’s where we begin to actually heal.

And it’s not as if my intent is difficult to understand or discern. Just read and listen to what I have said on this platform, and the 18+ hours of unscripted pod casts I have done.

I think your shock as to why anyone would care says far more about you than it does about me. Take a look at the comments to your post.

And I also know this: people are tired of the bullshit. They’re tired of you and the chattering classes’ obsession with my family as Rome burns.

So instead of wondering why people care about what I have to say, Chris, maybe you should concern yourself with why no one cares anymore about what you and everyone you represent has to say.

[Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost @RepMaxwellFrost]

Last year, I stood on the House floor as Congressional Republicans debated the Big Ugly Bill in the middle of the night — a massive transfer of wealth from working families to billionaires while cutting food and healthcare. It even included tax breaks for gun silencers. I said then what we still know now: this was a betrayal.
