Our system of governance derives its legitimacy from the consent of the governed. When public servants use propaganda to manipulate the people they are supposed to serve in order to MANUFACTURE that consent, our SERVANTS soon become our MASTERS. Your tax dollars paid for this ad.

Tragic. “”None of us have any experience treating this disease, because up until a couple of months ago, it didn’t occur,” said Dr. John Goldman, an infectious disease expert at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The learning curve among doctors, he said, is “very steep.””

Vought is breaking the law but he is not “going rogue.” At his confirmation hearings, Vought told Republicans he would do this and they voted for him anyway. If they want to stop him, they still can via impeachment. They won’t.

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this. Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

One year after announcing “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files,” Elon Musk is now expected to spend over $100 million on the midterms to help Trump cling to power. We can’t match Musk’s money, but we’ve got something he will never have: Friends — and the power of We The People on our side.
A screengrab of Elon Musk’s tweets from June 5, 2025: “Time to drop the really big bomb:

@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.”

“Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
