Corrupt Tim Scott works for his corporate donors in the banking industry, not the American people. That's why he's shamelessly pushing for a provision in Trump's Big Billionaire Bill that nearly halves the budget of the CFPB, which protects consumers from greedy corporations.

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.

Bernie to Dems:

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

🙏 GoFundMe For Billionaires "If just 14M 🇺🇸s give up their health care, we can make sure billionaires don't have to pay taxes on the money they made exploiting our labors!" Juuuust kidding! Fuck this reverse Robinhood bullshit! Call your electeds every damn day! They work for YOU! #KillTheBill

Why yes, yes I do.

What Trump & MAGA are really setting America up for is a wild backlash against white supremacy in 2040 or so when we become a majority minority country. It will be well earned by these racist pigs.

"He lost his composure, bearing and touch with reality in a revelatory moment that demonstrated forevermore that he is precisely the clown that has been so thoroughly depicted and exposed over the last 153 days." open.substack.com/pub/stevesch...

Abusive messages, fear of physical violence and violations of privacy are the cost of elected office in the U.S. now, according to nine Gen Z and millennial state lawmakers.

This plan is CLEVER! Keep reading:

Orban banned Pride demonstrations in Hungary, but today’s march in Budapest drew record crowds in defiance: amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/...

If Christian Nationalist parents are allowed to have their kids opt-out of any books that dare mention anyone gay, then all the other parents should be allowed to let their kids opt-out from the Ten Commandments.

Hundreds of videos of barricades going up around the White House and the Treasury Department were posted on social media twelve hours ago. There is no way of knowing if the videos are real and no coverage whatsoever in major media. Really feels like someone has dropped the ball. Folks are on edge.

The big ugly bill will give the billionaires plenty of money to spend on their pet projects hint it's not building libraries or helping food banks or any other humanities.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Since its creation, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21B to consumers. But thanks to Trump and his favorite billionaire donor, the CFPB's rollback of regulations will cost us $18B—just one of the many hefty prices we have to pay for their corruption.

Two paths diverged in a wood and America took the psychopath.

The guy who got fired wasn’t the problem.

It's wild that in America human rights are being banned instead of guns.

The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.

This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country. "This Supreme Court is an existential threat to the rule of law." – Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

I just did the math, and yes, this checks out.

I sure as hell have noticed. How about you? 🤨

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Love this!

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.  A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

Leavitt without a trace of irony: "When you have a totalitarian regime, you have to save face. I think any common sense, open-minded person knows the truth about the precision strikes on Saturday night. They were wildly successful."

After ICE agents entered two Diocesan churches, San Bernardino’s Bishop Rojas adamantly speaks out: “Cease these tactics immediately, in favor of an approach that respects human rights.”

I keep telling people if want to know how this Supreme Court will rule you don't need to be a lawyer nor a legal expert. Just look at the GOP position on an issue. That is how they will rule. Today's Supreme Court is simply part of the GOP political apparatus.

Don’t let the turnstile hit your ass on the way out.

Senator Murphy coming out of private briefing on the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites: It still appears that we have only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months… the allegations that we have obliterated their program just don’t seem to stand up…

It needs a few typos, grammatical errors, insults, random quote marks, and misspellings.

The S Ct today did NOT deny anyone birthright citizenship; it addressed "nationwide injunctions," limiting courts from issuing them. They can issue injunctions within their district. Remember: this will prevent conservative judges from issuing nationwide injunctions in mifepristone and other cases.

The United States is a nation beyond the rule of law. People are being kidnapped on the streets by men in masks. They are being disappeared and deported to foreign concentration camps. A Canadian died in their hands. We must demand full access and independent investigation of his mistreatment.

Kenneth Chesebro, the lawyer who helped orchestrate the fake elector scheme to overturn the 2020 election, has been permanently disbarred in New York.

Even Texans are tired of Donald Trump and Greg Abbott www.kxan.com/news/texas/t...

Finally a corporation is reacting to what’s happening here. Don’t be surprised that it’s not a car company or a shampoo brand. They’re all still pretending that life is normal. It’s a bookstore. Barnes and Noble fills their store display windows with Orwell’s 1984 and Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale.

Yes there are millions of people who buy in to white Christian nationalism and some have shown how to turn it into very profitable businesses, but at its core is ignorance, racism, fear, insecurity, and perversion of the teachings of Jesus.

Word of the Day: OBLITERATED Which is: What America's airstrike did to Iran's nuclear stockpile OR What POTUS did to America's status in the world

To all my dear friends on Blue Sky.....

Well that was quick

Let’s be absolutely clear. This decision, based on fringe conspiracy theories, will kill children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

What. Come on Lindsey for once quit trying to just defend this dude so he dates you
