“A nation is judged not by its balance sheet, but by how it responds to human suffering.” - Walter Cronkite

Elon Musk has decided the cheapest way to get what he wants is to simply buy a Senator. And there's no one more corrupt — or more willing to be bought — than Ken Paxton.

Not Coincidence, so many Fakes and Lies and it’s been going on for years… Ukraine hit Yandex data centers in Russia and tons of MAGA accounts went dark. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

Any second thoughts yet Chief Justice Roberts?

I know I've posted this many times - needs to flood the media until election day.

HIS MAKING US THAT SHITHOLE COUNTRY HE ALWAYS TALKS ABOUT....EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION!

Is it that hard for all of us on BlueSky to talk 10 people who aren’t voting to vote for blue? The simple math says we get our country back.

I said this years ago. It's been obvious. It remains obvious. It's a tragedy for our country.

Of Course, We Know Their Game...

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED.......

Yes, voting actually matters. #GoVote #vote #midtermelection #VoteBlue #voteblueupdownballot #endthenightmare

This needs way more attention. The U.S. Postal Service has built a new system that could effectively turn USPS into a gatekeeper for mail-in ballots. Here are the details on how it is supposed to work.

Voting Blue in the Midterms is Essential to its Survival…. REMINDER: In just five years, Congress will have to either take action or allow a 22% Social Security benefit cut to go into effect. U.S. SENATORS ELECTED THIS YEAR WILL VOTE ON SOCIAL SECURITY’S FUTURE.

Absolutely nailed it. x.com/olenarohoza/...

Vote like your life depends on it, or the life of a friend, relative, or neighbor. Because it does. We’re the decoys now.

VOTE DEMOCRAT IN 💙 OVERWHELMING NUMBERS FOR THE MIDTERMS 💙🌊

NEWS: Trump dismisses concerns from military families about deplorable conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, then says their record-long deployment is “not nearly long enough” before heading to his private club in Bedminster.

There are 18 cases of ICE force-feeding detainees, considered torture under international law. Kurdish filmmaker Gabar Choli, a UN-recognized refugee, said, "It just broke me, mentally broke me. Two guards would hold my feet; two hold my hands; one hold my head, and they’d shove tubes in my nose."

How far half the country has fallen.

Sigh… I’m sorry Greenland that we elected an idiot.

Cassidy says he will vote for Blanche. Any doubts if he learned from RFK, Jr????

You Should Have Left Years Ago….

Here’s an easy question for MAGA: If foreign countries were paying the tariffs, why has the Trump administration refunded $100 billion of the $166 billion in illegally collected tariffs to the importers who fronted the money that YOU paid? And you won’t see a dime of it. www.cnbc.com/2026/08/05/t...

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

I Remember, Hope you do….

RFK Jr.: “You probably don’t understand this as you’re not a scientist.” Dana Bash: “You’re not a scientist either.”

He is Absolutely Right, Come On Texas!

Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.

“If you think the war in Ukraine doesn't affect you look at this crater in Poland. A Russian missile crashed here today. This will keep happening until Europe wakes up and takes the russian threat seriously.” From @caolanrob.bsky.social

Trump plans to end a subsidy program that helped hold down premiums for Medicare drug plans, a move that will leave seniors facing higher rates for their prescription coverage next year.  www.wsj.com/health/healt...

The momentum is real. Voters are done with the chaos, the cruelty, the corruption, and the grift. In 100 days, we’re flipping the House, holding the line, and sending a message that can’t be ignored. Organize. Donate. Vote early. Talk to everyone you know. #BlueWaveIn100Days

This is a good example of the fear that ICE has engendered in so many. A man here completely legally with nothing (on paper) to fear from ICE took off running when they showed up at a gas station and was struck by a passing truck. Awful.

So tired of having such an idiot in the White House.

Odd, that stupid Donald Trump is in a snit with Canada over air quality when he has dismantled the EPA, promoted burning coal, and pulled out of climate change accords, guaranteeing air quality issues *worldwide* for not just this summer, but maybe FOREVER. What a colossal Idiot.

In 2001, Walter Cronkite appeared on the David Letterman show and shared his thoughts.

Democrats, FORGET All of the Norms…

Bout time

Corruption breeds corruption. "Trump's longtime teleprompter operator is believed to have made tens of thousands of dollars by placing bets on that speech and more than a dozen others on the prediction market Kalshi, federal investigators with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission found”

Love it Fal!!!
