So very true! I’d rather work through the problem myself!

"President Trump has spent 25.9% of his Presidency to date Golfing — at an estimated cost of $50.4 million to US taxpayers," the study revealed. 🙄 sports.yahoo.com/article/golf...

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

These disparate groups—members of Congress, bar associations, the small business community, medical, public health and scientific societies, civic groups, religious groups, former presidents and retired military—must pull together to save our Republic.

Such a great idea! I think I have a black mask from Covid..

open.substack.com/pub/thiswill... I can’t dismiss this out of hand. There have been murmurings since Feb or so.

Starship blowing up is a bigger deal than you think. It’s not a prototype in a sandbox anymore, it’s a $4B NASA contract to land humans on the Moon ($2.8B initially, $4B with follow-ons). Every explosion is taxpayer-funded hardware going up in flames.

Love how this guy nails the situation and sillifies it

England Votes to Decriminalize Abortion for Women at Any Stage for Any Reason

The Watergate break-in (which happened 53 years ago this week) began the modern era of “whatever-it-takes-to-win” politics — blatant disregard of any and all norms and laws that interfered with gaining or keeping power. Trump is the logical and inevitable consequence. https://bit.ly/3QV2m4s

SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft exploded on its test stand on Wednesday, sending a large fireball into the sky. The company had cleared personnel from around the site. wapo.st/4kUmz6G

They’re reaching further. Resist!

I’ve been hearing these murmurings since the election. Now they’ve laid it out.

This is a big and important statement.

Troops Deployed to LA Have Done Precisely One Thing, Pentagon Says The nearly 5,000 soldiers in Los Angeles detained one man, briefly. Was that worth $134 million and a constitutional crisis? theintercept.com/2025/06/16/l...

Encroaching on a woman’s right to choose, even in the blue states. Thanks for finding this, Sen. Murray! Let’s block it!

Reading Looking at Women Looking at War, by award-winning writer and war crimes researcher Victoria Amelina. Terrible, valiant, and fascinating. She was killed by a Russian missile while the book was in its final stages. Gets at the heart of the war. More soon.

This is a weird one. Snopes confirms Russian tv aired nude photos of Melania after 2024 election. Why isn’t US media talking about this? www.snopes.com/fact-check/r...

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Among some of the things we definitively know so far about Vance Boelter: He targeted Democratic elected officials for assassination. His acts have been widely termed as political violence. He was a registered Republican. He was a Trump supporter. He was a US citizen. He was NOT an immigrant.

700 rural hospitals will possibly close completely if the Republican budget bill passes. That's a cataclysm for rural America - where lots of Trump's voters (maybe former voters?) live.

Pete Hegseth tried to tell me there was "no litmus test" to hire anyone at DoD. Not true.   Why does a WELDER need to share with the federal government what their favorite Trump Executive Order is as part of their job application?   Drop the politics. Hire the best. That simple.

Yay Phillie!

So true. Let’s nurture human intelligence before artificial intelligence!

Truest words on the Internet today.

Thank you for the video with all information needed that the company can’t say they can‘t follow up because they don’t know where/who it was like U-Haul in the beginning. What about police because they transport them in the back?

Glad the business community is waking up.

Last year, the final of four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River were removed in the largest project of its kind in US history. The river that straddles the California-Oregon border has since been reborn.

If this is legitimate…..then if you subtract the (not very) Proud boys, the KKK, the surgically modified plastic “hookers” at Mar-a-lago and the Republic members of the house…..that leaves 23 people who wanted to attend. …..and all for this man …..Pathetic!!! #TacoMan

EXACTLY- the HYPOCRISY of these fuckheads!

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

Here’s a guy who stands up,

Under Trump's new rules, veterans can be refused care by individual doctors just because they are unmarried, are registered Democrats, or identify as LGBTQ. VA is for ALL veterans, not just whoever Trump says. Every Senator needs to demand that this policy be reversed.

Public lands, gone? This is terrible! Protest!
