Elon Musk’s Super PAC has already invested over $7 million to support a right-wing candidate in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race and is now offering voters $100 to sign a petition against “activist judges.” Sound familiar? Our campaign finance system is so broken. It’s completely out of control.💰💵🤬

Sanders: Mr. President, turn off Fox and take a few moments to read the constitution to of the United States

In less than two weeks Social Security is set to enact major changes that threaten to upend services for many Americans, in order to fight fraud that amounts to a fraction of 1% of the agency's spending.

34,000 people showed up for the Fight Oligarchy rally today in Denver.

I love Rep. John Larson! We need more of this!🔥

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are turning their backs on the heroes who served our nation.

A powerful truth. Silence in the face of wrongdoing isn't neutrality, it’s permission.

Australia faces a “colossal surrender of sovereignty” if promised US nuclear-powered submarines do not arrive under Aust control, former foreign affairs minister Bob Carr has said, arguing the US is “utterly not a reliable ally” to Australia “It’s inevitable we’re not getting them” #auspol #AUKUS

“If you came from another planet and witnessed the accumulation of wealth that happens at the expense of so many who lack wealth, what would you think of the morality of humans”?

Snuggles... Watercolour

What an incredibly creative and original idea! 🐟🐠🐟 A Dutch city installed a “fish doorbell” at a river lock, letting online viewers alert authorities when fish are blocked during migration. An underwater camera streams live footage, and when enough fish are spotted, a worker opens the lock.

Democrats need to take risks. Our democracy is in crisis. We cannot afford to play it safe and play by the old “norms.” We have to be willing to use every leverage point and bit of power we have and offer a real vision for how we would fix our country. ~ Senator Chris Murphy

Calling your representative is the best way to make your voice heard. Once your congressperson forms a public stance on an issue, it’s hard for them to walk it back. The earlier they hear your opinion, the more likely it is you’ll make an impact.

In June 2024, then-U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued an advisory declaring gun violence to be a public health crisis in America, calling for an evidence-based approach to public health change as well as a ban on assault weapons. The website with the advisory message now says “Page Not Found.”

Trump and Elon’s version of “smaller government” -less democracy, more thrones.

Putin can’t be trusted. The only one who doesn’t seem to know this is Trump. The attacks took place less than an hour after Trump and Putin had negotiated a 30-day ceasefire on strikes against energy facilities.

Public records are crucial, especially now with government websites disappearing, efforts to operate out of public view, and the National Archives in disarray.

For the first time, researchers have used the #CRISPR gene editor to repair a flawed gene in the human body. scim.ag/3RdMzMT

I agree we need a complete overhaul

I know I post a lot of Cornish sunsets, and I hope it isn’t boring. I do it in the hope it offers people a moment of calm. I took this a few summers ago in Carbis Bay. Pause for a moment and drift away on the warm breeze. May it soothe you from any anxiety. Rest well, my friends. 😊 #nature #peace

Did *Trump* convince voters of this? Or are there perhaps a series of institutions in between Trump & voters, mediating what they hear & how things are framed, that affected their views? You could call them ... mediators ... or maybe, for short ...

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

Even Jen Psaki is putting Chuck Schumer on blast!

Only 62% of Americans could come up with $2,000 in case of an emergency, the fewest since data began being recorded #EconSky

Where’s the uh, where’s the 1) Kennedy files 2) UFO proof 3) Epstein files 4) proof of chemtrails 5) and so on Also, why am i not in jail yet? So many people promised i would be. Hmm It’s like they were lied to

Two years ago today was one of the most thrilling moments of my life when I captured this sunrise eruption of Guatemala's Volcán de Fuego. My drone was much closer than I realized, and the eruption was the largest I saw in my two days up there. I may never again film something as remarkable as this:

To put it in clearer terms…

I saw this on a T-shirt today, and I have to agree. ☘️😆☘️

“I think that this administration is going to realize pretty quickly that the economy is tanking. So the more we can highlight that, the better.”

The NIH is studying mRNA technology for preventing and treating infectious diseases, including flu and AIDS, as well as cancer. They are flagging pending grants related to mRNA vaccines, and it's unclear if these grants will be canceled.

“No America, things will not be okay, unless we wake up and work and vote and fight—and make them okay.”

Now I finally understand why so many people get more angry at Democrats for their cowardice and complicity than at the GOP for their blatant cruelty and evil. We expect the GOP to be assholes. It's who they are. We expect Democrats to protect us from the assholes, and they aren't doing that.

“It’s actually way beyond my wildest dreams…We had hoped, those of us who worked putting together Project 2025, that the next conservative president would seize the day, but Trump is seizing every minute of every hour.”

Welcome!

👂 LISTEN: The NY Times asked @SenSchumer if it’s time for him to step aside for new leadership, and if he worries about an @aoc.bsky.social primary. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DHTRKi1...

For over 80 years, Voice of America delivered news to countries—many under authoritarian rule—where reliable information was scarce. Now, those broadcasts, once a vital tool for promoting democracy and transparency, are fading away.

I love my town! Here’s a picture of the bathroom door at our local pizza place.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie? Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care. They are the new face of the opposition.

One thing that Sanders seems to understand is that Democrats are, at least in part, fighting a content-creation war. Politics is being fought in a skewed information environment that favors people who can reliably feed the beast with conflict and controversy.
