So can I donate to Democrats without exposing myself to more text spam? It's a real issue. I type "STOP" ten times a day and it continues. I want to donate to a Senate/Congressional fund, but honestly, I don't know if I'll do it if it makes this worse. @charlesgaba.com ?
It really quite simple. Susan Collins took a bribe from a fraudulent military contractor that robbed our government. She should die in prison.
Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

13-year anniversary of Subway getting really mad at us.

What pisses me off about all of these reversals is that almost none of them include a mea culpa that they fucked up despite there being a MASSIVE trove of glaring red flags long before yesterday’s story broke.
ELIZABETH WARREN calls on Platner to drop out: “There can be no tolerance for sexual assault… With so much at stake, the best path forward is for Graham Platner to step aside as the Democratic nominee and address these serious allegations outside this Senate race.”

Indeed. A person rushed at POTUS's security perimeter and was stopped there. A person whose plan is to do a one-man charge through POTUS's security perimeter is, ipso facto, irrational. To the extent anything can be done to prevent this, it's universal free healthcare including mental healthcare.
Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.

This take is so gross, blaming the (((junior))) partner in this war. Israeli's and their soldiers are far more in harms way then Americans. It is us, the Americans, that hardly put our soldiers in harms way. Israelis have committed war crimes, but they didn't choose war. Americans chose this.
This schmuck sounds just like RFK Jr.
Our new ad speaks to one of the most urgent issues I hear on the campaign trail: our healthcare system is collapsing. Hospitals are closing. Maternity wards are disappearing. People wait a year just to see a primary care doctor. We should shut down Big Pharma, not our hospitals.

Our commitment to Israel cannot look like silence. It should be speaking up when it matters most. American Jews have every right and responsibility to question a war launched by the US and Israel without a clear strategy or endgame. More by J Street’s @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social and Nadav Tamir:
I work with data centers. You put them in cold climates near cheap hydro power most of the time. Not in space where power infrastructure is ridiculously expensive and heat does not dissipate. This is meme stock trash.
The deal brings xAI and Elon Musk’s social media platform X under the SpaceX banner.

Brilliant Egyptian analyst Dalia Zaida: “From ‘Mein Kampf’ to Hamas apologetics, how generations in the Arab world are conditioned to deny Jewish suffering. From my very personal experience in Egypt, how Hitler's Nazism and European antisemitism were systematically embedded into the Arab mindset”:

Vance is going all in on defending the Young Republican Nazi group chats because he is one of them.
Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

Are leftists responsible for the rise in hate and political violence, or is it the far right? We looked at the data.

So of course Paramount founder Sumner Redstone had an Epstein connection. Just more reason to kill Colbert. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...
Just call it what it is. Trump opposes charity. He opposes helping his fellow man. This is the definition of wickedness.
Trump throws Sudanese Christians under the bus—rescinds genocide designation, slashes USAID aid, and deports refugees into war zones. 11M displaced. Famine confirmed. This isn’t policy—it’s betrayal. A Bible photo op doesn’t erase the blood on his hands.

Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.
