The uniformity with which structural factors are driving these results is pretty striking. One campaign raised $9m!

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance.
So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people.
Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it.
Postb it, blow it up and get it out there!

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point.
The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.
Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

So classified documents going back into the Mar a Lago toilet?
Pool report from Air Force One:
"The FBl is giving the President his property back that was taken during the unlawful and illegal raids. We are taking possession of the boxes today and loading them onto Air Force One" - Steven Cheung, spokes
Boxes were loaded onto the plane ahead of takeoff

worth saying again that this was a bait and switch. if trump had openly announced he was running on allowing companies to discriminate against women and minorities he would not have won wapo.st/43aVQg1
Trump officials start dismantling civil rights offices, as part of DOGE’s secret plan
Legal experts said that unwinding a civil rights-era bulwark designed to safeguard employees’ rights removes a crucial check on institutional power.

Dear President Zelensky,
As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here.
I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders.

Trump White House staffers were seen loading around 15 boxes of documents onto the rear of Air Force One.
Team Trump says the boxes contain the classified documents the FBI seized from Trump's Florida home in 2022.

An excerpt from an OpEd that @jimalwine.bsky.social and I published. We wrote about about what happened in Samoa with the measles outbreak there and said, simply:

10 days ago Trump fired hundreds of FAA employees, weakening the systems air traffic controllers rely on.
Maybe instead of handing Elon a $2 billion FAA contract, we should use that money to actually hire and retain the workers who keep our skies safe.
Just a thought.
