The fact that the American president’s former best friend is helping Russia blackmail the president should be a far bigger story than it is.

It should be on the front page of every major news outlet

Rick Scott was CEO of a large, for-profit healthcare company called HCA. While Rick Scott was CEO, HCA stole so much money from Medicare they were fined $1.7 Billion.
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

There were a couple of different edits of Trump at the Commanders vs Lions game today. I chose this one because it shows the crowd reaction and doesn't just show him talking like some of the other one's did.

Trump also just released the guy who lied to the FBI about the Bidens taking bribes.

He has ties to Russian intelligence — and Trump’s businesses.

Again: The law does not apply to them.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

@nicolefoy.bsky.social is the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

She did it because the government isn’t.

This is what she found.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Greta Thunberg is being tortured in Israeli captivity, as revealed by fellow activists:

“They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others”

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

THIS is just more verification that, though GOP Republicans are wholly corrupt, and offer nothing to the American people - other than Trump & Mar a Lago Billionaire class - they all are nonetheless very good at "pushing the narrative", "spin", Media manipulation of "talking points" necessary to win

@slotkin.senate.gov @nicollewallace.bsky.social Senator Slotkin- thank you for supporting the middle class on Deadline Whitehouse today. My family is really feeling the economic downturn and the threat to our democracy. Thanks for having her on, Nicolle!
