Another “leader” untethered to reality. Not good.

These are Elon Musk’s texts to Larry Ellison on April 20, 2022.

Anyone still using Twitter is complicit and they should be ashamed.

It’s Earth Day 🌎
If we are being realistic and honest - which really is the least we can do - it’s very likely warmer today than anytime in the last 120,000 years. And, the global warming rate the past century - and especially the last 30 years - is “exponentially”… 1/

BREAKING: A GOP-appointed Virginia judge has struck down the Democratic-backed redistricting amendment in full, ruling it unconstitutional and “void from the start.”

AG Jay Jones says he will immediately file an appeal.

Fixed it for you

At this point, worse but with a final end to our deployments there, sounds like the best possible outcome for this illegal unnecessary stupid war.

Okay, this will help Xavier Becerra; hopefully, Jay will be in charge of Social Media. Let's go @xavierbecerra.bsky.social

Ouch.

PROTECTING DEMOCRACY

Oh no — next comes free preschool, free school meals, higher wages, and tuition-free community college.

Truly terrifying stuff.

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

The most accurate indicator that something bad is about to happen.

AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.

The Texas legislature rammed through a gerrymandering bill at the request of Trump.

Virginia actually voted in favor of redistricting to counterbalance what Texas and other Republican-controlled states have done.

Yet only one is considered a "power grab."

Oligarch-owned media in a nutshell.

House Democrats launch Patel probe, demand he submit to alcohol abuse screening If the beleaguered FBI director was hoping the allegations about his alleged drinking problem would be a one-day story, he has reason to be disappointed.

Rep. Jamie Raskin is demanding that Kash Patel submit to an alcohol abuse screening:

"For the sake of our own security, we need to know, for example, 'how many drinks containing alcohol do you have on a typical day when you are drinking'?"

An under appreciated fact:
VA and CA put their redistricting laws up for vote by the people, respecting democracy.
GOP states did not.

If you're around in London this weekend, then get yourself a ticket for Generation Hope!

Lots of really great events involving scientists, activists and artists, and all completely free! Go go go! 🙌🏻🌍🌱🧪

@warnock.senate.gov is a pious man. His #CupOfJoe is brimming with truth to power. Listen up. This country needs to be healed.

We're seeing prediction market corruption more and more in the federal government.

Donald Trump thinks it's ok to cheat, but I won't allow it in state government.

He’s an unrepentant racist.

VAN HOLLEN: You said you disputed some of my facts. Do you dispute that Sheikh Tahnoon through his company invested $500m in World Liberty Financial just before the inauguration?

LUTNICK: I'm not aware of that


VAN HOLLEN: Seriously? It's been so widely reported

The guy who bankrupted Trump Shuttle airlines is going to take over Spirit with our tax dollars. What could go wrong?

BENNET: Do you agree that 89% of children who died from flu were unvaccinated?

RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number

BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy

RFK Jr: *death growls*

BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?

Congratulations

GM & TY MO!!💙💙

As I have been saying for a while this is going to happen and we need to start talking about it and pushing for it. We have to MAKE it happen

If we take the defeatist approach that some Dems take—that he'll just magically disappear, or that we can just wait until Jan. 2029, ... (1/3)

Democrats have offered bills to do that at Federal level. GOP won’t support them.

📌A staggering 96% of the contributions spent on Virginia’s referendum vote Tuesday came from dark money.

Proof again that Citizens United has done more to wreck our democracy than anything before or since.

IT MUST GO.
