It’s been almost 90 days since the American people have seen or heard from Mitch McConnell. We’re still paying his salary.

If you want members of this regime to be held legally accountable, you have to add four seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. Otherwise, they'll protect their fellow oligarchs like they did in 2023. 1. Win the senate 2. Block nominees 3. Elect a dem POTUS 4. Congress adds 4 seats 5. Have nice things

I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!

And here's another diffence not mentioned in the article. Over $10 million, to date, to Michael Bennet from billionaires, corporations and dark money with their own agenda. 93%of donations to Phil Weiser come from us - Coloradans, averaging $100 each. Follow the $$$$. #philforgovernor

In case you forgot, @bennet.senate.gov's gubernatorial campaign is still under investigation for campaign finance violations, including a couple from last year! He has conveniently pushed the hearings on them until AFTER the primary election. #philforgovernor www.coloradopolitics.com/2026/06/16/b...

Billionaires don't prop up candidates with their $$$$$ for nothing. They have an agenda and will want a return on their investment. And they know Bennet will deliver for them. Not for us. #philforgovernor #copolitics

Thanks Phil! One more reason among many to elect Phil Weiser to be our next governor. He’s showing up, getting his day job done (and isn’t backed by Michael Bloomberg) #philforcolorado #stayinthesenateBennet

More BS from the Bennet campaign. That’s what millions from Michael Bloomberg buys. What does Bloomberg get in return and why can’t he send money to Democratic nominees in Senate races rather than mucking with a primary in Colorado? Just asking
