I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

The political media is obsessively relitigating the issue of Biden being too old and out of touch while the current president babbles incoherently at press conferences and regularly admits he's not the one making decisions on key policy matters.

Been up for 31 hours straight fighting Republicans trying to gut Medicaid. Closed my eyes to think about an America where everyone has access to quality, affordable health care.

what Ken won't tell his followers is that the hearing started at 11:30am YESTERDAY, so this clip is probably from about 20 hours into it

This is extremely misleading. They were pulling an all-nighter. Republican Blake Moore—who’s all of 44—also fell asleep. I hate our gerontocracy as much as the next person, but let’s at least be fair & accurate.

You can fuck right off with this, she works harder than all of us put together, and because she leans back on her chair after working for 31 hours straight, you’re going to pillory her? Absolutely ridiculous.

I’m not a legislator, just a Precinct Delegate in the 6CD, but I endorse Eli. I’ve heard him speak many times on many subjects through the years. I believe him to be not only very knowledgeable about his profession, but also ethical, empathetic, and compassionate, which is far more important to me.

The GOP’s “big beautiful bill” includes a clause giving Donald Trump the ability to revoke the tax-exempt status of any group the Treasury Department says is a terrorism supporter. The bill is in the reconciliation process, meaning it only requires a simple majority in the House and Senate to pass.

You gotta hate Nazis more than you like Substack's features and if you don't, screaming at people who do like they are purposefully targeting progressive independent journalists is weird bro. I am Black and Jewish and watching white women scream about how they NEED to use substack is weird.

Thank goodness @cnn.com is here with pertinent and timely info. Meanwhile, the current President can’t put together a coherent sentence, and is involved in more corruption than the Teapot Dome and Watergate put together.

BREAKING—Fabian Schmidt, the German man with legal permanent residency who was detained for no apparent reason and violently interrogated at Boston’s Logan Airport in March, was RELEASED from prison yesterday and the case against him has been DISMISSED, a source familiar with the situation tells me.
