At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians.

I can’t express, with any more certain terms, how much I wish our “fearless leader” was not blackmailing a war-torn country for its resources in exchange for our support. I wish we could be better than this.
Trump has no idea how to deal with Putin on war and no idea how to deal with Xi on trade. Total clown show.
if Joe Biden had tweeted "Vladimir STOP!" Republicans would have burned the White House to the fucking ground
“how do i stay informed without becoming overwhelmed?”
great news! friday’s at stream start i’ll be doing “bite-sized news” to help keep you up to date without destroying your mental health 🖤✌🏼

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.
Trump doesn't think that First Amendment is legal.
Folks, this is scary. The old saying is that the 2A is there to protect the 1A.
A tweet from Jesus Freakin CONG @TheJFreakINC stating: 'Eric Trump funneled children’s cancer charity money to his business, and associates. Sick people.' It includes a quoted tweet from Eric Trump @EricTrump saying: 'Think about the Democrats not even standing or clapping for a 15 year old boy who survived cancer. Sick people.'
They can’t pretend they’re suddenly for cancer research just because they brought a kid to Congress. Sheesh.
Can we see how much stock in auto companies Eric & Junior Trump bought at 11:00 AM, since this was announced at noon?
The party of alleged fiscal responsibility, yall
they should invent salad for men
Actually gave myself food poisoning with this technique earlier this year 😅
It’s said that we live in a post-fact society. We disagree.
Now, more than ever, facts matter, and ProPublica is going to continue to track how and when patently false statements are injected into conversations about the country’s future.

AOC: The order has come down to this committee. Find $880 billion to pay for a tax cuts on yachts, jets, billionaires, and mega corporations while working class people pay higher tax rates than Facebook does. Undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than many large corporations
BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.
Thanks to all my followers that spread this one widely. No one voted for this, or wants this, because there’s a ton of bad things the autocrats can do, it not just privatization- it’s privacy. Another @resist.bot item to keep calling about: share widely:

an archival black and white photograph of the KKK marching in Washington DC with the capitol behind them
In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…
DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class
"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.
2012 was 13 years ago, even our apocalypse is slow and dumb, how embarrassing
This is why you fight these cowards.
The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.
Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.
