For once, Ken Paxton is being honest: if it weren't for our broken campaign finance system, he'd have no shot. #UnrigWashington candidate @jamestalarico.bsky.social is running to reform our system and fight for Texans. Ken Paxton can't say the same. #TXSEN

Schmitt concocts an elaborate conspiracy all based on the premise that Smith must’ve been in ATL on a certain date because he was at a “Hawks” game that day but it wasn’t the Atlanta Hawks it was the Iowa Hawkeyes. His big gotcha moment made him look like a complete fool. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Holy sh*t. Sen Schmitt just accused Jack Smith of going to an Atlanta Hawks bball game with the implication that he must of also met with then prosecutor Fani Willis BUT Smith went to an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland instead. This GOP clown show is a disgrace.

Republicans' closing argument heading into November: please pretend our president is popular, ignore the gas prices, and if you vote for us, maybe there's $5,000 in it for you. It is not going well for them.

So a sitting “judge” is asking a two year old immigrant child if they have council to determine if they should be deported or not and he isn’t ordering the slobs that brought the case in front of him arrested instead?

Warren: "This has been their argument every time -- they cut taxes and say, 'Ultimately it's really going to pay off for you.' What's happened every time? The academics study it very carefully and say, 'What really happened is the richest people got richer and everybody else got left behind.'"

Russia is bombing museums, apartment buildings, hospitals, research facilities, schools, and parks. Ukraine is bombing military targets and refineries. Guess which one Trump has been complaining about?

Why won’t network evening news broadcasts show their audience video of Trump dozing off during press events in the Oval Office in the middle of the day while people are talking, as he’s done dozens and dozen of times? Is that not newsworthy? Is it impolite? Will you lose access?

That Paxton thinks it is justice for a guy who abused a child for three years straight to serve 60 days in jail and NOT register as a sexual offender really helps cement the GOP as the pro-pedophile party. It's not just Trump!

The #POWERAct stops data centers from passing their energy costs on to us. Gov. Tina Kotek (OR) signed it. Her MAGA opponent, Christine Drazan, voted against it. Since then, rates are down for Oregon families and up for data centers, all thanks to our work on the POWER Act. Power to the people!

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

In order to fight communism, Trump has: held a state dinner for the world's leading communist, called off war games because he likes the leader of another communist country, made business agreements with a different communist country, and held up arm sales that would fight communism. He's a Commie.

Republicans do not get to call it courage when they distance themselves from Trump only after the polls turn bad. Courage would have been refusing to enable him when it cost something. This is not a moral awakening. It is a campaign calculation. November is coming!
