I’m so old I can remember when Rs wanted government out of their private lives. They fought Real ID because of the threat of big govt knowing too much about them. And now? This is a stunning reversal that Americans do not like or want. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/o...

this would be a great moment for democrats/liberals to pivot from bill clinton's bad and self-destructive "small government" positioning and fully embrace fdr/lincoln style "the federal government is big and does great things when it has good leaders" positioning

I love how Amazon decided to remind us that it is an evil company by timing a site-wide book sale (which it could do AT ANY TIME) with Independent Bookstore Day. Like, the pettiness could not be more obvious. 💙📚

Like others have noted, the best way to understand Trump II and what MAGA is in its current form is a political iteration of rape culture

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

On 4/1, vote for Susan Crawford for the WI Supreme Court and Jill Underly for the Superintendent of Public Instruction, who boosted graduation rates to 90%. Also, vote NO on the constitutional amendment—it's another voter ID restriction that will suppress votes.

The existing private companies often rely on the USPS for the last leg of rural deliveries so this would just be the end of mail for them entirely. But remember, it’s the Democrats who have contempt for rural Americans

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I’ve always been skeptical of folks who say Trump is a literal ‘Russian asset’ or that Moscow has ‘kompromat’ on him, and the Russia obsession hurt the Dems in term one… but… how does anyone explain this? Justify this? How? t.co/ie1nWaL8ot

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

Wild Coast Raw, the company responsible for the tainted food which is causing indoor-only cats to die of bird flu, is deleting comments on their Instagram about the topic. So they're killing pets and trying to cover it up. Cool.

My GOP colleagues now say being born in the United States is not enough to establish citizenship but newborn infants must also show their “allegiance” to the country! MAGA diapers perhaps?

Trump says there must be "pain" for Americans in this idiotic trade war of his. Ask yourself, what pain does TRUMP suffer? What pain will the billionaire class suffer? Why is it that when Republicans talk about pain and sacrifice, it's always YOU who suffers for their vision?

Please remember there are billionaires spending money on outrage media to make you mad at federal civil servants instead of the Supreme Court they bought. Please save your outrage for the actual fascists.

92 year-old Oscar-winner Joel Grey pens this must-read op-ed about how the lessons of 'Cabaret' are just as applicable now as they were when it was first staged over 50 years ago. Heed its warning. Don't get distracted. Gift article to read, share and contemplate. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/o...

I know there is a lot going on, but an unusually high number of CIA agents were killed, captured, or compromised after Trump stole classified documents about them. Just thought I should remind everyone of that.
