We Need A Democratic Senate

Don't fall for the billionaires' lies. Renowned economist and inequality expert @gabrielzucman.bsky.social explains why you should vote YES on California's Prop 40. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tufv...

The root of the problem is the bipartisan, multi-decade decision to abandon NASA and use gov't resources to stand up private alternatives. No one saw the natsec implications of handing control of the top of a gravity well to a private business wholly controlled by a single owner.

JD VANCE: "We haven't finished fucking things up. Give us more time!"

Christianity’s global spread was marked by colonialism, forced conversions, destruction of Indigenous cultures and religious persecution. International Religious Freedom Day should celebrate the freedom to believe or not believe, not the spread of Christianity.

this man is a gotdamned patriot

"I’m beside myself that Elon Musk has taken it upon himself to conduct U.S. foreign policy," says Heather Cox Richardson.

The Republican Party no longer exists, says Heather Cox Richardson. "If MAGA has jumped off a cliff, who is left?" We're talking about the tension between MAGA and the GOP, the midterms, and more. Join our live conversation:

Young ‘uns: this stuff happened once a week during Obama’s presidency. Dijon mustard. Moving a bust of Churchill. Inviting a rapper to the White House. Putting his feet up on his desk. They’d scream and cry for days about how effete and snobby and Black he was and how misinderstood they were.

What kind of numerals do you use when you make up fake statistics about vaccine harms, you shitweasel?

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

That's HELLA racist and also completely incorrect.

RFK is of course correct, it has been *checks notes* an entire year since an Arab has won a Nobel Prize

If only there were a Nobel Prize for heckling

anyone ever notice how republicans don't run on half the evil shit that they do? ever notice how that works?

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

This is a hell of a study ( though it won’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s read The American Voter). Thanks @mike10010100.com for pointing me to it. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

What in the ever loving racist incorrect mouth dropping is this??? The Arab world “produces” plenty of “science”… which is all the more impressive since the West periodically bombs all their shit.

Also, I don’t even know why I’m talking about the “Arab world” because this ignorant motherfucker isn’t even limiting his racism to specific countries. He’s saying that people who are Arab, in general, don’t “produce science.” WHAT IN THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN

Woody Harrelson has done an ad "for Exxon". Well worth watching

Trump in Mississippi: "I'm here because Cindy is doing great" (He's there because Cindy is not doing great)

@abdulelsayed.bsky.social: I said to President Obama, I don't get to do what I'm doing without you having done what you did. The job is to carry the baton forward for other people who were told they were not quite enough because of who they are.

@abdulelsayed.bsky.social: it's easier in our current system for a billionaire to make a second billion than it is for the average worker to make their first $100,000. And I would rather live in an America where it's harder to make a second billion than it is to make your first $100,000.

Remember when Ted Cruz and other Republicans swooned over Russian military ads to mock Biden and our “woke” troops? An estimated 1.5 million Russian casualties later, Ukraine is still standing. Turns out cosplay tough isn’t real tough

Q: Back to Chauvin -- what is your position on clemency for Derek Chauvin? DEMUTH: So, are there any more questions to do with the fraud?

JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

Stares at 7.25% interest rate on a 30 year mortgage, up from just below 6% in February of this year

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

The truest thing JD Vance has said in a long, long time.

From First Ave, we’re getting out the vote! In 8 days, we’re electing a ticket that helps working people afford the lives they want to live.

Bash: Did Trump direct you to file this lawsuit in Alaska? Blanche: Trump has been very clear about his concerns about Alaska. Bash: You didn't say no. And Trump is admitting this is political. Do you see your job as helping Republicans keep the seat?

Same on electricity: blocking clean power drives up bills but his fossil fuel donors “make a freaking fortune.” Theme there, maybe?

Rest of sentence: “off American consumers.” Who does Bozo think is paying that “freaking fortune”?

New photo of Vivek Ramaswamy's 8th grade teacher protesting Vivek over his latest ad: "SHAME ON YOU, VIVEK! I TAUGHT YOU BETTER!"

BERMAN: Who's making a 'freakin fortune' as Trump put it with high oil and gas prices? REP. PETE SESSIONS: You know, I'm not really sure, John

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

This is why Trump just said at his rally that he doesn’t care about high gas prices because people who own stakes in the oil and gas industry are getting rich.

Hello. Do you live in one of these states? If so, we need you.

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
