Trump keeps saying that a 1929-style Great Depression is likely during the second half of his term. Quite the midterm message.

Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…

And speaking of childish things, I've decided to give Florida a far more accurate and important name—America's Flaccid Dong. Please act accordingly. Thanks in advance . . .

Giving an external committee power to veto research funding because it doesn’t align to a political agenda will not only harm science, it is a threat to democracy.

We don’t have to put up with this. Not these policies or these politicians or even this system of politics. It's time for us to chase out corruption and build a politics that actually responds to the people.

With 45 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Gas prices hit $4.46 a gallon today — a gain of 17 cents over the previous week and $1.26 higher than the same point last year. Diesel prices are up more than $2.74 from a year ago. Families, farmers, and truckers are all getting squeezed. Meanwhile...

STOP SCROLLING Why I’m sounding the alarm: VoteSafe. org is run by Elon Musk’s America PAC, the same political operation working to turn out Republican voters in the midterms. The site collects voter and political info, and allows your information to be shared or sold to business partners.

Benefits of Being a U. S. State: 1) No universal healthcare. 2) Your kids get shot at in school. 3) You get no disaster relief if you didn’t vote for the malignant crazy person in the Oval Office. 4) Get diarrhea from your food. Think long and hard before saying “no” to such a utopia, Canada!

Call it the MITCH Act. If a U.S. Senator can disappear from the job for months and still collect a full paycheck, working Americans shouldn’t have to choose between getting well, caring for family, and paying the bills. Paid leave for ALL. 🇺🇸 #USDemocracy #RisingBlue

I miss knowing there's an Anthony Fauci in charge of health. A Hillary Clinton or Antony Blinken handling things internationally. A Pete doing things for transportation. A Lloyd Austin handling defense. A Haaland protecting our lands. I miss knowing adults are in the room. Or at least non-traitors.
