Nothing to see here, folks. Don’t expect any further investigation…
Republicans PUT A CRIMINAL in charge of their party…
And now, we learn over 300 Trump Org. accounts were flagged, and closed for MONEY LAUNDERING.
Are you SURPRISED?! 😎✨

Where are all the former heads of USAID, from both parties, sounding the alarm and pointing out the massive death toll resulting from the funding cuts? That might get the public’s attention. Come on folks, step up!

Explosive diarrhea worsening.
Salmonella in millions of eggs
Cancer research cut.
Disease monitoring stopped.
Vaccine efforts devastated.
Pseudoscience and snake oil medicine proliferating.

An unhinged ignoramus of a president is causing havoc on our economy with his misadventures in the Middle East (not to mention the tragedy of lives lost). Every Republican in Congress who lets this go on unchecked should be held accountable.

These voters are beyond hope. Democrats need not bother trying to win their votes. The only approach is to reach out to the disengaged, earn their support, motivate them to vote.

Sadly, this won’t get much press, but Americans should know the literal suffering and death this administration is causing across the world. Immoral.
More signs of resurging HIV after USAID’s closure. African Neonatal Network reported at IMNCH (a global health conference): HIV+ pregnant women ↑50% & those not on antiretrovirals ↑>300%, year-on-year, across 22 hospitals in 5 nations. @vtoxfordnetwork.bsky.social

Courtney Wild was 14 when Epstein started abusing her. While she waited for justice, the feds were negotiating a deal with Epstein's lawyers behind closed doors. She found out years later through a legal fight. The emails showed the government wasn't protecting victims. It was protecting Epstein.

Sad for all the Spirit employees today. High fuel costs (thanks to the Iran war) was the final nail. Worst part—shouldn’t be in this war to begin with.

Any Democrat who is not explicitly committed to restructuring the Supreme Court does not deserve your vote, will not get mine, and should be actively primaried and opposed. There must be 13 justices on the court by the end of 2029. It is the only way our democracy has a chance of surviving.

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

Dear Trump Voters,
He lied to you. Gas is higher than Biden. Groceries higher than Biden. Healthcare higher than Biden. People losing rights and treated with no respect. WH ruined. Another war. America has alienated itself.
You were told, but you wouldn’t listen.
This screws all of us.
Thanks!

Our authoritarian president wanted Bondi to prosecute his enemies. She tried – and helped cover up the Epstein scandal, too. It wasn’t enough.

What a travesty.
Flynn lies to the FBI, pleads guilty, flips, gets pardoned… then gets PAID over $1M by the same government he lied to?
That’s not justice. That’s a payout for loyalty.
And they’ll call this “accountability” with a straight face.

We all know the childhood story of The Emperor Has No Clothes, yet here we are, with that story come to life, and we’re pretending it isn’t so.
Happy to see my friend & fellow Chicagoan @markjacob.bsky.social continuing to call out the press for its addiction to quick hits & 'trump says' stories "instead of telling the broader one about this guy being out of his mind."
