We're in a moment where the challenges we face have more to do with the ways that politicians are bought off than actually having a conversation with the broader public. If Mike Rogers had showed up, he'd say that this race is about him or me. It's not. It's about you.

Particularly eye-opening one from HCR. Should be shared widely. She quotes from an article by Michael Luttig talking about a nightmare scenario in which Mike Johnson goes along with Maga loyalists and refuses to seat Dems elected in the midterms. We need to be ready to fight back if it comes to that

You know, when you find out that the art you like is made by people you've learned hold views you find wholly repugnant, I don't think you need to disavow ever having enjoyed the art. It's okay to acknowledge you liked or loved that art, but are now putting it aside. That was then, this is now.

Michiganders are *literally* sick of Mike Rogers’ corruption. He’s taken more than $1M from Big Pharma, voted 19 times to keep prescription drug prices high, and even declared himself a "champion" of the opioid industry. 🤒💊 Watch our new ad:

The President has decided that in order to make ground beef cheaper, he will cut tariffs on ground beef. And I'm wondering if he could generalize from this one product to other products, and perhaps concede that tariffs raise prices on American consumers.

Of course that's just an *average.* Take a couple in their early 60's living in Columbia, SC earning $90K/year. In 2025, the benchmark Silver ACA plan cost them $641/mo. In 2026, this jumped to $2,726/mo. In 2027? Try $3,194/mo...or an *additional* $468/month. 👀 acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-...

Put another way: In 2025, the benchmark Silver plan cost this couple 8.5% of their gross annual income in premiums. In 2026, due to Republicans allowing the improved ACA tax credits to expire, this jumped to 36% of their income. In 2027 they'd have to pay over 42% of their income. 😳

Personally, I believe that opposing racism and all forms of hate is currently the most important thing to do. I believe this is true for several reasons. Firstly, I feel it is a moral imperative. Human beings are all actually so similar that it is truly wrong for any humans to persecute others...

So apparently one of Platner’s favorite films is the 1985 WW II drama “Come and See.” Here’s what Google’s AI has to say about the use of the Totenkopf in that particular film:
In the 1985 Soviet war film Come and See (details on Wikipedia), the Totenkopf (skull and crossbones) insignia is prominently featured on the uniforms of the Nazi SS units, particularly the fanatical officers involved in the brutal occupation and atrocities in Belarus. It serves as a stark, recurring visual symbol of the SS, which committed mass killings (the "holocaust by bullets") against civilians.Key details regarding the Totenkopf in the film include:Soviet Union, highlighting the direct involvement of the SS in killing civilians.

Screenshot of a tweet by Rep. Ted Lieu (@RepTe...) stating that Trump and his family have made over $9 billion during his presidency and calling their corruption "out of control." The embedded video shows Lieu speaking at a House podium alongside another representative, with a caption overlay reading "Lieu: A future administration will prosecute these criminals" and a subtitle reading "Gas prices are up."
