Fun fact: in 2020 Florida Republicans paid (illegally) a man with the same last name as the Democrat incumbent to run in an effort to confuse voters and they actually succeeded. The Democrat lost by 32 votes and the sham candidate received 6,000 votes. Election was not overturned.

You're telling me the President owns up to $23.1 million of Chevron AND up to $18.4 million of Exxon AND gas is up 40% in a year AND his trades show up weeks after he makes them AND the House voted to ban itself from trading stocks, but the bill doesn't cover him And we're the ones who get banned for posting it.

Republicans let an unelected South African ketamine junkie fire 270K American workers, steal our data, starve the world's poorest children, shut down investigations into his companies, and set himself up with billions in government contracts. And DOGE cost more than it saved.

Imagine being so thoroughly played by billionaires that you’re convinced healthcare, a living wage and basic economic security is socialism - while the billionaires are laughing all the way to the fucking bank.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Whoa. The U.S. added 90% fewer jobs in 2025 than originally reported. That’s not a rounding error. That’s a massive difference between the economy Americans were told we had and the one we actually had.
When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

Neil Bush, brother of President George W. Bush, says he voted for James Talarico: “My vote was motivated by two things: deep concern about Ken Paxton's record and genuine admiration for the character and principles I see in James Talarico… I have been a Republican for most of my life, and I still believe deeply in many traditional Republican principles. But character matters more than party affiliation. Our democracy depends on leaders who respect our institutions, tell the truth, accept accountability, and seek to unite rather than divide. Today, I voted against a style of politics that I believe has damaged our country. More importantly, I voted for the kind of character and leadership I hope will help heal it.”

He didn’t hold back. 🇦🇺💬 From across the ocean, this Australian gives a raw, unfiltered look at modern America. It’s a perspective most people are too afraid to say out loud, but it impacts all of us, no matter where we live. This is a global wake-up call. #USA #USAPolitics #AmericanCulture

Children coming home in body bags between 2000 and 2025- 529. Children coming home a different gender- 0. Republicans are focusing on the wrong issue.

My definition of a broken country? Children shooting children at school, while men publicly beat women at a MAGA rally.

Republicans are too scared to debate but still think they deserve your vote.
🚨 Keisha Lance Bottoms is now standing alone on the debate stage, as Republican Rick Jackson no-shows.

I didn’t know Talarico was diabetic, which explains why he had the flu for 12 days. Diabetics are 6 times more likely to end up in the hospital with the flu and 3 times more likely to die from it. Weird how no MAGA’s seem to mention that point.

I know this isn't your usual thing but maybe you could help @TizzyEnt
🚨 This guy walked into a Cabot, Arkansas farmstand yesterday and helped himself to an armful of fresh baked goods… without paying a single dollar. Root & Rise is a small, family-run honor-system farmstand owned by Amber and Brett. They bake slow-rise sourdough loaves, brownies, pies, cinnamon rolls, bagels, and other from-scratch treats. Yesterday this man loaded up and walked off with a huge armful of their work. Honor system does not mean free. When someone does this, it doesn’t just hit Amber and Brett—it hits the whole family’s hard work, the early mornings, the effort, the ingredients, and the trust that lets small farmstands like this even exist. These hits add up fast for small businesses just trying to make a living. 😞 If you recognize him or know anything, Amber and Brett would appreciate the help. Support the local people who actually bake and stock these stands. 💪 #TheHopeFiles #CabotAR

Dear People On Medicare, BEFORE you vote. Go to medicare.gov & check your Part D RX plan for 2027 vs. 2026. Mine went up 3x the amount in a YEAR. That is Donald Trump & RFK Jr. REMEMBER that when you cast your ballot!🗳️💙
