OBAMA: When I was president, all these Republicans are all deficits, deficits, debt, debt. You got to do something about it. And now—$40 trillion—Crickets. Somehow deficits only matter when a Democratic president is in office

Ohio, let's do what we can to elect @amyactonoh.bsky.social as your next Governor and @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social as your next U.S. Senator! They’ve dedicated their lives to fighting on behalf of all Ohioans.

I worked the polls today. It is hard work! We had a VERY steady stream of early voters today and I am more learned for having participated!

I'm attending Abdul for U.S. Senate's event, “MICHIGAN FIRST RALLY WITH ABDUL AND SEN. BERNIE SANDERS | GRAND RAPIDS” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/abdulforsena...

I just realized I’m a poll worker for the first and last day of early voting. Methinks they stuck the newb with these choice assignments. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

El-Sayed: JD Vance called me a little weasel today. No, what you’re talking about is a fucking wolverine.

$2000. That's how much your household has already spent this year on Trump's Middle East War. Congressional Republicans won’t lift a finger. It’s time to vote them out.

Who’s watching the new season of #TheDiplomat

Again. Impeach him.

The man with artificial hair, teeth, doctor’s reports, lifts in his shoes, scalp reduction surgery, a girdle, and a painted orange face claims we’re his enemy if we use the word “artificial.”

Rogers is getting red in the face! Big mad. 🌊🗳️💙

The doggos grabbing the little wedge of sun!

This “$5,000” thing is fooling no one. But it has made one thing clear: Republican desperation at the 1-month-out mark.

We owe it to our children to act - in these uncertain and pivotal times - so that they can live in a better future.

Let’s do this! 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️

This one goes out to the new @michigandnr Fisheries Survey Vessel Steelhead that was commissioned Weds in Charlevoix. More science for the Great Lakes 🌊🌊

We've lost the plot as a society when we started demonizing words like "processed" and "chemical". H2O is a chemical. You are made up of chemicals. A diced tomato is processed, by definition. Nearly everything we eat is processed one way or another. Words have meaning!

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Directing DOJ to slow-walk politically damaging decisions until after people vote would be a major scandal under any normal administration. Here, it’s just Friday.

We’re honestly still taken aback by Elon advising the Pentagon on the future of wars. Didn’t we all see how badly he failed with DOGE?

When my kids grow up and look back at the 2020s, I want them to see that I worked hard to make their world better.

I do love my Honey Locust trees in the fall.

Subaru really messed up the Outback in my opinion. Who wants a boxy, cookie cutter of all the other brands? Aerodynamically, this is 💩. Please don’t do this to any other models. #Subaru

They warned us Mamdani would impose Sharia law. Instead, he unleashed the real threat: line dancing in Bryant Park.

Ok #knitters! What’s with the square needles? Do you love them? Indifferent?

CNN, Politico, and MS NOW reporters have been denied access to the White House this morning.

Taxing the rich is absolutely essential to saving our economy and our democracy. Don't believe me? Look at this chart.

"Since the federal takeover, he spends four nights a week pedaling his bike up and down the same streets, recording agents as they arrest his neighbors. On the scene, he lists rights for people getting arrested and asks if they’d like him to contact anyone..." www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

The overwhelming consensus is for journalists to boycott the White House in solidarity, and for those impacted to sue. Gray rock him.

The president banned reporters for asking questions. He can’t defend his record. And if you can’t take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.

The press ban is real and it's illegal and three newsrooms have lawyers on it already. The story that will actually cost votes ran on the AP wire this morning and vanished by lunch. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

A massive diesel spill at a New Jersey data center has dumped roughly 5,000 gallons of fuel into wetlands connected to the Meadowlands. Local officials say a “computer glitch” caused the backup generator system to keep calling for fuel. The diesel entered Anderson Creek,

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.
