I don’t know why age graphs always do this but there are seven years of people included in the first bar and five in the rest. In this case, this does not change the broad meaning of these graphs, which together give me hope for the future of America.

I've never seen the libertarian-to-fascist pipeline so viscerally represented. This is incredible.

I have literally never seen a graph like this once in all my years of being an election sicko 18-24 always lags, always, it’s just a natural law of politics and this is the guy they want to throw out of the party?!

Accurate

Every major health system in Louisiana is warning Speaker Mike Johnson and the rest of the state’s congressional delegation that the Senate GOP’s planned Medicaid cuts “would be historic in their devastation.”

Susan Collins could stop this she won’t. Along with her votes on justices who took away Roe she has arguably done more to harm America than any single senator.

I’ll vote for a Socialist anytime over these greedy, power hungry creeps!!!

All I see here is top notch ball security, elite contact balance, a willingness to grind out tough yards btwn the tackles, and surprising burst after he finds daylight

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

get their asses

The attacks against Zohran Mamdani are Islamophobic & disgusting. These people are cowards, too afraid to debate Mr. Mamdani on the facts, so they resort to this kind of vile & depraved rhetoric. Debate the man on his ideas or sit this one out.

There are 2,000 publicly-owned utilities in the US, many of them run by local governments. They provide electricity (and some gas), basically essential services for modern life. But a publicly-run grocery store would be UNTHINKABLE www.publicpower.org/where-public...

very easy to see what is happening. trump will run for a third term, he’ll try to bring the dispute to federal courts, where his election denying judges will rewrite the 22nd amendment to mean it only refers to “consecutive” terms.

Federal employees have a right to organize unions. Eliminating this protection is a violation of workers' free speech rights, and a federal judge agrees.

Take this as your sign to primary every appeasement-obsessed do-nothing motherfucker who looked at you sideways, gang.

In a June Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani received more votes than 22 sitting US Senators received in their most recent general elections.

If one woman accuses a man they’ll say she’s lying, because she’s only one person. If more than a dozen women accuse a man they’ll say they’re all lying, it must be a coordinated campaign

16 million Americans will lose their health care if Republicans pass Trump’s budget bill. 51,000+ people will die annually as a direct result. Mitch McConnell says “they’ll get over it.” He should look into the eyes of people who might die and tell them to “get over it.”

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Here are the 128 House Democrats who voted to table (kill) the Rep. Al Green D-TX impeachment resolution against President Trump over the Iran attacks.

all major news sources concur that the results of the NYC primary prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that Bluesky has the juice

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

Met someone today who told me he ranked Cuomo and was taken aback that my immediate response was “oh so you could forgive the sexual assault then?” If you’re gonna cast the vote, own up to it!

ah, but is it as scandalous as biden old?

I would just like one (1) high-profile political journalist to publicly acknowledge the painfully obvious fact that the two parties are covered differently, held to different standards, and to wrestle with why that is & its practical effects on US politics. (Difficulty: impossible.)

Humanitarian funding is at just 13% – while global military spending has spiked up to post-Cold War levels. Military spending is over 100x the amount needed for global humanitarian aid. As leaders meet at #NATOSummit, we call for just 1% of defence budgets. #InvestInHumanity

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too. This isn't over, but this is a huge win. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

It's been so weird to watch a president learn things in real time when fielding a question from the press. Then, whatever word or concept he learns, he uses in the next few social media posts. It's like when a 3rd grader learns a new fact about dinosaurs.
