The American people end up paying the price for the corrupt lawmakers who are more focused on serving corporate special interests, lobbyists, and their stock portfolios than their constituents.

@slotkin.senate.gov is 100% correct. It’s time to gut Big Money out of politics.
We need a full-on ban on corporate PAC money. I’m one of six U.S. Senators who has never taken corporate PAC checks. Six out of 100. The middle class doesn’t have a lobbyist. They don’t have a super PAC. They don’t have a corporate PAC. But they should have the Democratic Party.

Vance is here to grab content he can post on X, using your replies. Starve the beast.
This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.
Vice-President JD Vance confirms he has joined BlueSky.

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.
The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight
Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

People can’t process the fact that we’re all only temporarily abled.

Ableism is so ingrained that disabled people have been placed firmly in the “other” box. Blamed for their condition. Excluded.

Everyone believes it won’t happen to them.

It can. It likely will. Engage in disability justice.

Brad Schimel is a hardline Trump loyalist and MAGA extremist—which is exactly why the richest man in the world is pouring millions into this race.

We need to overturn Citizens United to get billionaire-funded super PACs out of our elections.

Senate Republicans have absolutely no shame. While Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, trying to make ends meet, they're hyper-focused on cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans.
