A woman named Lonna Drewes at a news conference just now accused Eric Swalwell of drugging her drink and sexually assaulting her. Here's part of her statement.

Friendly reminder: Ruben Gallego knew exactly who Eric Swalwell was. And I’d hazard a guess that he was fine with it. Just look at his text messages.

Same people that brought us Ted Lasso (my fave) but this is 2nd!

European candidates need to stop monopolizing the time of JD Vance.

Democrats need him at home campaigning for Republicans.

Wouldn’t it be easier to figure out who didn’t assault women?

Brought this up to a Rep today who says “it’s all about protecting kids”. I schooled him some but thanks for this - he’s about to get an email

"Losing American lives and hurting the economic well-being of Americans because Kushner's sugar daddy MBS and Trump Jr.'s business partner in the UAE and Trump's buddy Bibi want us doing their dirty work? Fuck all of them."

@timmiller.bsky.social, @jvl.bsky.social, and @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social:

Ed Blake: This is the Alina Habba of ceasefires. We went into court for a parking ticket and left with a DUI

MAJOR BREAKING: Judge Chris Taylor, the Democratic-backed candidate, has won election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

The result expands the court’s liberal majority to 5–2, extending its current ideological balance for years to come.

Taking a quick break from today’s genocidal programming to remind you that Trump has also declared war on every program that helps or keeps Americans safe in any way.

Just saying in general that life has no value for him.

Within 48 hours of Trump's claims about destroying Iranian air defenses, the following happened:

- Downed F-15 plane
- Downed A-10 plane
- Damaged F-16 plane
- Damaged Two Black Hawk helicopters

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.

Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.

Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.

Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
