No 2026 Dem candidate is so skilled as @abdulelsayed.bsky.social when it comes to calling out the damaging influence of billionaire dollars and corporate special interests on our politics and governance. If’s El-Sayed is nominated, he’s uniquely prepared to take on billionaires and their GOP pawns.

Navi Pillay is an exceptional choice as the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Anti-apartheid campaigner, ally and appointee of Nelson Mandela, and an international human rights leader for decades, she chaired the independent UN Commission that charged Netanyahu with inciting genocide in Gaza.

Even before her state botched another execution, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerri Green was telling Tennesseans “the death penalty has always been inhumane, expensive, and biased.” Green is running a smart, courageous campaign that brings realism and moral clarity to Tennessee politics.

As the Republican nominee for governor of Wisconsin, US Rep. Tom Tiffany says he wants the war with Iran to end. But, the Journal Sentinel reports, “Tiffany voted against 5 US House resolutions directing President Trump to remove US forces from hostilities Iran.” Is Tiffany lying? 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Q: Would you say that Trump's media ban is a textbook case of viewpoint discrimination, banning people who criticize him from covering the White House?

A: "He explicitly acknowledges it." John Nichols @nicholsuprising.bsky.social – on @thenation.com podcast

Mike Johnson Is the Most Dangerous House Speaker in American History
by @nicholsuprising.bsky.social @thenation.com

His decision to shut the House down at a moment of crisis around AI is the act of a reckless charlatan.

The whole country is focused on the need for AI regulation and accountability. Except Congress. Speaker Mike Johnson gaveled the people’s House out of session to avoid Epstein/Hegseth votes. Johnson’s move blocks necessary action on AI safety/oversight. That’s wildly irresponsible—and dangerous

Enten: "Trump is breaking records. Yesterday the Marquette Law School poll came out -- Trump's worst net approval rating on inflation. Minus 61! That's the worst Trump has ever polled on inflation, & not only that, it's the worst any president EVER has polled on inflation. Worse than Jimmy Carter!"

The president’s moves to mess with the 2026 election represent “a desperate attempt to maintain power at a time when the American people clearly don’t like what they’re seeing from the Trump administration,” says Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen

Speaker Johnson plans to gavel the House of Representatives out of session until November—with no real action on AI threats. That’s irresponsible, anti-democratic and dangerous. Congress should stay in session until it implements robust AI oversight—and approves strong regulation of the industry.
