Absolutely stunning that in the NYT’s latest major story on Elon Musk single-handedly trying to save the GOP there is NOT ONE WORD about how he is the world’s most vocal white supremacist and advocate of ethnic cleansing.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Ossoff: "Tonight, a united Georgia will hear the trial the Mike Collins. Mike Collins has brought dishonor to our state through his personal bigotry and his widely documented ties to white nationalists. And he's sold out Georgia in his pathetic child-like devotion to Donald Trump."

VICTORY: A federal court just ruled DOJ’s campaign to consolidate sensitive voter data violates the law & illegally intrudes on states’ authority over elections. This ruling has drawn a clear line to protect voters’ privacy, uphold the law, & ensure elections remain free, fair, trusted. Details ⬇️🧵
The image contains text stating "Federal Court Blocks DOJ's Unlawful Voter Data Demands" with an additional note that the ruling protects voter information from federal overreach. The background features the Statue of Liberty and stylized graphic elements.

If they’re admitting 81 planes, drones and helicopters worth $3.3 billion have been lost in Iran, imagine what they’re not telling us. The real cost is likely far higher, and our grandchildren will be paying for this unnecessary war and his reckless spending. www.businesstoday.in/amp/world/st...

Republicans tend to give Socialism whatever definition helps their talking point at the time because they have no idea what it actually means. The don't understand they are talking about the effects of Capitalism because they are too fucking stupid to understand what that means either.

Three panel comic. An upset young woman sits at an outdoor cafe table. She says earnestly to her boyfriend, “it’s like you don’t even listen to me anymore…” Panel 2: Her boyfriend, sitting across from her at the table, is making a strained, distracted expression. He says, “babe, I’m sorry— I just—“ Panel 3: he continues, “there is something so insane behind you right now. Behind his annoyed-looking girlfriend, there is a monkey in sunglasses and a backwards cap sitting side-saddle on a parked motorbike.

J.D. Vance has been a breathless supporter of Neo-Nazis at home and abroad, promoting their fascist ideas and ideology to a jaw-dropping degree. But he has the fucking nerve to say someone tied to *socialists* doesn't belong in America. *You* are the un-American ideologue, you goose-stepping dork.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: two heavyset fellas sit around an unusual, scrawny humanoid alien at a diner counter. One of the guys pushes a little basket of bread in front of the alien and says, “this here is corn bread.” Panel 2: the alien takes a small bite of the golden corn bread. The alien says, “con… bred.” Panel 3: the alien begins to hover, emitting an otherworldly light and causing gravity to shift around its immediate vicinity. A frightened waitress behind the bar shouts, “what’s happening?!”

I'll support AOC whatever she decides to do, but Democrats *need* a serious, unapologetic progressive to run in the presidential primary to pull the field to the left. Without one, we'll have Newsom, Buttigieg and Cory Booker trying to out-centrist each other and it will be a disaster.
