Whoa. Sherrod Brown’s new ad is devastating for Jon Husted. Sarah Bloom Anderson trusted Husted when he looked her in the eye and promised he wouldn’t cut Medicaid, the program that saves her daughter. One week later, Husted voted to cut Medicaid.

I personally also blame every single person in American public life who played down the obvious danger continuously said the guardrails would hold + the institutions would push back + protect ordinary citizens!

I posted this on TikTok today in response to the Jan 6 slush fund and it was almost immediately taken down. Almost like the platform is trying to help Trump…

When Trump says "we make a lot of money," he's talking about his Big Oil donors. They spent spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024, and the investment is paying off quite well for them. Oligarchy in action.

Farage and Reform are bad losers. Their failure to secure the seat was down to the vast majority of voters roundly rejecting their hate because Gorton and Denton is a progressive place. 68% of voters in the constituency voted Green, Labour or Lib Dem. Don't let them use lies to twist the truth.

Expect weeks of "family voting" rhetoric from Reform. They're out of the gates on it already. It mustn't be allowed to wash because look at the scale of that win. Tactical voting has obviously played a massive part. Gorton and Denton rejected Reform and its hateful agenda.

Why would you pig-headedly ignore the voice of the next generation? Why would you saddle them with debt, shrink the job market and limit their opportunities? It runs counter to everything politics and society should want for them. For all of us. They’re the future. www.itv.com/news/2026-02...

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Why did Trump move Ghislaine Maxwell to a Club Fed? She was sentenced to 20 years in prison for trafficking and raping children. He didn’t just move her. He gave her a puppy. I want the press to ask this question every single day. Not just of Blanche and Bondi. Ask Trump.

He obviously knows the jobs report this week is going to be terrible. But Haslett says not to worry because a tiny handful of people are concentrating more wealth than at any point in human history and we should all be happy for them. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Hassett: "There's a chance that job creation lags, productivity skyrockets, profits skyrocket, GDP skyrockets, but then all of the sudden you're making 20 widgets and you can make 20 widgets with fewer persons, and then that person has to find a new job. I think that kind of transition could happen"

Yet again a Labour minister lets the cat out of the bag. They are expecting to come third in Gorton and Denton. Only the Green Party can stop Reform. Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

You want to know why Trump put up that racist tweet of the Obamas? It’s simple. Melania’s movie is tanking. That’s connected to Trump’s ego.

IrishWoke reposted

They didn’t delete the meme or blame a staffer because they realized it was racist and the right thing to do. They didn’t because of public outrage. They did it because Republican senators FINALLY spoke out and they backed down. There’s a lesson in that if they will learn it.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

This, along with the seizure of ballots and voting data, is another massive red flag for Americans: This is the kind of thing authoritarians say and do when they are preparing to rig the vote. They are preparing to steal your vote, and you have to take action now to stop them.
