@stephruhle.bsky.social nothing earth shattering. Just acknowledging your contribution to the national discourse and sharing that your show is the only “do not miss” show on my list. Great work and thanks for being a great role model for all young women hoping to make their way in Finance

@velshi.com I’m surprised there was no discussion of the A.I. generated ad re Ossoff as part of discussion on music generated by A.I. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
Jon Ossoff warned about deepfakes. Now he is one.
A Mike Collins campaign video uses AI to make Sen. Jon Ossoff say outlandish things. A proposed state law would rein in such uses of AI in campaigns.

This is important. If you live in an area that uses these machines, contact your local elected officials and demand they not use these machines in any future election. Otherwise it won’t matter who is running in 2026, only MAGA approved candidates will win.

If only there were a tax of 10% on income/profits/capital gains over 1 billion dollars.
Jeff Bezos paid $50 million for a wedding. He just got a $16 billion tax break. He just laid off 60,000 people.

And you're furious about a kid getting a free school lunch?

I need y'all to help me today. Zach Wahls is running for the U.S. Senate to replace Joni Ernst. He has a good size following on other social media platforms but hasn't gotten much traction here yet.
We can change that today!

Give @zachwahls.bsky.social a follow and repost this, please. Ty! 💙🌊
I'm Zach Wahls. A sixth-generation Iowan and a new generation of Democrat.

And I'm running for U.S. Senate to defeat Joni Ernst.

The corruption runs deep.
1) Ethics officials at Fannie Mae investigate how Bill Pulte got Letitia James mortgage docs
2) They send findings to Inspector Gen. of FHFA, which Pulte heads
3) IG sends it to Lindsay Halligan, new USA prosecuting James
4) IG and ethics officials are all fired.

Maybe it's time to make more noise about this? Last spring a thousand agents frantically redacted all mentions of Trump's name in the Epstein files. How does that square with what can and will be released?
FBI agents were told to 'flag' any Epstein records that mentioned Trump, Sen. Durbin says
President Donald Trump, bowing to days of pressure, asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to get grand jury testimony about Jeffrey Epstein unsealed.

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

If you still support Trump, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.

I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity.

I judge you for your support of racism, misogyny, pedophilia, homophobia, treason & fascism.

So will others. So will history.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.
