Seems likely that Troy Jackson is going to be the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine. I think he’s a fantastic choice. He’s our best chance to beat Collins. He’s progressive and a real working-class champion. Let’s flip this seat in November. LFG!
Quick advice to any Democrat running for anything or already in office:
Every interview, in fact almost every sentence should end with “Trump crime family” or “corrupt.”
I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.
We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.
I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.
And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.
And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.
The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.
I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.
#BREAKING: Alex Wagner: “I think there is a special place in hell for the members of the so called Yolo Caucus, that would be in this case on the Judiciary Committee, @SenThomTillis and @SenBillCassidy, who vote for Todd Blanche’s confirmation. They are retiring. They have been debased and humiliated by Donald Trump. There is no reason for them to confirm Todd Blanche. The committee needs their votes in order for his nomination to pass through to a full vote in the Senate, and they have every reason to believe that he is destroying, not just the Justice Department, but the idea that this is a country that follows the dictates of the rule of law. I mean he is a very very very bad actor.” 😳
When California was burning, Canada sent fire fighters, planes and assistance — not insults.
I was proud to meet them, and to thank them, when they would break for dinner.
As California and other states step up to repay the favor, we should do so without the threats and ramblings of a failing leader.
We should show some humanity.
If Trump was innocent, they’d release the full, unredacted Epstein files. If Mitch McConnell is alive, prove it by showing him in a live video. It’s really that fucking simple.
Trump's tariffs are the worst economic policy in my lifetime, and Americans are paying for 90% of it. Better put, it's an unlawful tax that's been imposed on our families, and it's wrong.
Todd Blanche asks: "what's the risk" of having ICE or CBP at polling places?
Generations of Americans — especially people of color — know the answer, since they experienced the history and violence behind these voter suppression tactics.
“Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”
- Liz Cheney, Vice-Chair of the House Select Committee on January 6. (June 10, 2022).
I feel like some White House reporter needs to ask Trump about the fact that his DOJ has lost 16 straight cases to access state voter rolls and that in 7 of the cases it was before judges he nominated.
Oh and point out that I am still not tired of winning.
A teenage Waffle House employee in Alabama went to work on graduation day due to no ride, outfit, or tickets.
His manager and crew helped him, bought clothes, and ensured he attended his graduation.
The brits don't play, they are out here arresting people in the US for rape and sex trafficking of women while the US not arresting anybody for rape and sex trafficking of children link to epstein.
Two Americans are dead.
Trump is at his Bedminster golf club mingling with wealthy customers.
This comes after repeated claims that Iran's military had been "destroyed"—yet U.S. forces are still being targeted by ballistic missiles and drones.
Americans deserve answers.
