So much for the myth that Republicans are 'good for the economy.' The only rationale for voting Republican this time around -- with Trump "on the ballot" (in his own words) -- is if you value bigotry and hate so much that you are willing to forego economic wellbeing.

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

It is atrocious we have to operate under this constant credible and explicit threat from one political party, the fact we keep calling it a “free and fair election” needs some light revising

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

NEW: “In Texas, we fight fraud head-on,” Ken Paxton said last year. Yet records show his trust gave $600K to a convicted fraudster’s new company in 2020, which later wired the trust tens of thousands of dollars before and during his 2023 impeachment. with @texastribune.org

How did this insanity start? I'm serious. Were citizens simply placated enough that they didn't bother rocking the boat? Were they intimidated? Is it because he dirty rich now have so much power, own so many resources, that it's starting to affect the 99%? When did this creep in?

Google's "don't be evil" motto is long dead. I've ditched most of their software and services, and honestly, it's been a pain in the ass, but I'm sticking with it. I'm gonna get to zero eventually, no matter what it takes. These guys are absolute scum, just like all the other tech bros.

You can't afford a full tank of gas but Mike Rogers is chartering private planes and repairing his campaign's BMW. Summer's over so yachting turns to jetting I guess! Mike Rogers is just looking to go through the revolving door of politics to make another $14M.

MEMPHIS — Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social on the city council failing to pass the data center moratorium the community wanted: “It’s apparent the chamber of commerce and Elon Musk have significant sway over some city council members… see them for who they are and vote them out next year.”
