REMEMBER THIS Nov. 3: All of US on Social Security, SSDI/SSI: We're getting a paltry 3.6% increase for 2027. That amount will NOT pay for the increases to groceries, gas, Medicare Supplement & Part D INCREASES! VOTE 💙🗳️

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

Why do people only supposedly get the $5,000 if Republicans win in November? Republicans control everything and have for 2 years. Why didn’t they do it before? Why don’t they come back into session tomorrow and pass it right now? Because it’s all a lie, like everything else.

Everyone questioning whether Darline Graham is smart enough to be in the Senate is making me smile. You mean in comparison to the intellectual powerhouses already there? Like Tommy Tuberville? Marsha Blackburn? Ron Johnson? John Fetterman?

Todd Blanche having his conformation vote at 4:00 AM tells you everything you need to know about how Republicans in Congress operate. They reserve their most toxic moves for the dead of night.

I check Facebook 1-2x a month for family stuff. Turns out a few days ago my dad made a long post begging for understanding about trans people by his fellow boomers. Last paragraphs are below. Dad doesn’t always get it 100% right. He doesn’t need to. He loves and defends me; that’s all that matters

A predictable, and by now tedious, tactic of incompetent military leaders is to attempt to spin criticism of their catastrophic misjudgements as an attack on the troops they have flung into the meatgrinder.

😳 Hegseth snaps at Peters: "Your characterization of this incredible effort as a failure if reckless and irresponsible and smear the sacrifice of the troops. Shame on you." Peters responds: "You, sir, are the failure!"

My room temp and correct take on tipping is that if you make a comfortable living you tip servers always and you tip them well because who the fuck do you think you are

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.

RESULT: Amanda Gonzalez will be the Democratic nominee for secretary of state in Colorado (an open seat). Gonzalez is a longtime voting rights champion who has worked in election administration as well as in voting rights advocacy group.

Amanda Gonzalez, tonight’s D primary winner for Colorado SOS, was instrumental in making Colorado the first state to require polling places in every jail. That’s been a transformative policy change and an example for other states, where the bar for jail voting access generally couldn’t be lower.

Amanda Litman@amandalitman.bsky.social

Extremely excited for @runforsomething.net alum Amanda Gonzalez to be the Dem nominee for CO Secretary of State. She has done incredible work as the Jefferson Co Clerk & Recorder - one of the most principled and voter-focused election admins around.

Trump: ‘10-year prison term for vandalizing reflecting pool’ Question: How much prison time for vandalizing The East Wing?

The genius of Obama's big speech is this: He effectively stated that Trump/MAGA do not accept the Declaration of Independence's promise of equality. In the battle over our 250th anniversary, we need to put that basic truth squarely on the agenda. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2121...

newrepublic.comObama’s Harsh New Takedown of Trump Points to a World After MAGAThe 44th president’s library dedication speech was a powerful explication of liberal patriotism—and much-needed repudiation of the Trump/Vance fascist variant.
