Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

Trump’s tariffs are hitting farmers hard — in ways you might not expect. This honey farmer voted for Trump 3X — now costs are through the roof, hiring’s frozen, and he’s lost $150K in government contracts. Asked if he regrets his 2024 vote? “Perhaps I should’ve considered other options.” NO SHIT!

“As is evident, simply by looking at him, Dear Leader is in exquisite health, having the trim body of an athletic 23-year-old, the mind of an inquisitive genius, an the couth of the most refined men. Truly, the most perfect human walking among we lesser mortals. Praise God!” --The Court Physician

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Roscoe says there’s still 15 minutes left of #Caturday on MST. Happy Caturday everyone. #Cats #CatsOfBluesky

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

AOC: And his whole presidency began with launching tools for bribery, meme coins to fleece working people and move around money in the dark, extortion settlements from media companies and law firms who gladly pay them

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Not a happy Caturday---this breaks my heart.

Trump just denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it “unwarranted.”

Billboard up now. Chip in if you’re into it. maddogpac.com/products/qui...

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.

This is a difficult time in financial markets but the real victims are the countless numbers of faceless small and mid-sized businesses who import from China and are getting vaporized overnight, and the White House would never take their calls.

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

The attorney for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was accidentally deported to El Salvador, says that him and the family have not been able to contact him and don't know his current condition. Absolutely unacceptable! Bring him HOME!

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

America Last, Putin First

Calling my senators and telling them to filibuster the SAVE act.

Marth Stewart went to prison for insider trading on *one* stock. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought *17* stocks just before Donald Trump declared his "pause" in tariffs that caused those stocks to rise in value. How many others were tipped off? How many stocks did Donald buy? Ivanka? Mike Johnson?

HAPPENING NOW: Following the Supreme Court's decision requiring the government to "facilitate" the release of Abrego Garcia, a hearing before Judge Paula Xinis is about to begin. I'm in Greenbelt, Maryland for @lawfare.bsky.social Follow along for updates

Nursing Home Care is mostly funded by Medicaid 15,000 in the US and 2/3 of all patients costs are paid by Medicaid What happens to them?

Repost this video to infinity! 💥 Trump brags like Oprah giving out money how his billionaire buddies made a killing while working folks' retirements are in the shitter. "YOU get $2.5 billion! And YOU get $900 million! #DumpTrump

5 Calls is great! Downloaded the app on my phone and called my U.S. Senators @captmarkkelly.bsky.social and @gallego.senate.gov to make sure they will fight the #MAGA HR 22 voter suppression bill in the Senate! Everyone should do the same. 👊 #Resist #HR22

5calls.org/issue/save-a... CALL YOUR SENATORS PLEASE!

This is why people hate Washington. The President is bragging about his buddies' investments while people see their retirements go down the drain.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. This number can connect you to both the House of Representatives and the Senate offices.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Imagine that. Is there any doubt in anyone’s mind they were tipped off? They are laughing at us all. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
