We can't let this story die. This is seriously crazy.

Double.

This escalation came from the President of the United States.

When private equity owns your doctor, you pay MORE for WORSE care. Their priority is profit. Governor Kotek just signed into law the strongest protections against corporate profiteering in health care. Congress should follow and get private equity out of health care nationwide.

i just watched a clip of stephen miller talking to hannity from a few days ago and my god is that guy a stone cold freak. like, everything about him is profoundly off-putting, like a bug in an eggar suit

A message from Carl Sagan from 1995—some of his last prophetic words.

62 years ago today, JFK signed the #EqualPayAct into law, prohibiting sex-based wage discrimination. Yet, today, women still earn an average of 83 cents for every dollar men earn. I will keep working in Congress to ensure equal pay is given for equal work, regardless of gender.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

It's called "the great falling away" when the masses prefer lies over truth.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

Just in time for Taco Tuesday! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😜

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Printed tonight.

Gavin Newsom is responding to red state critics who represent states with higher murder rates than California, including Mike Johnson (Louisiana) and Tommy Tuberville (Alabama).

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

EXCLUSIVE: ActBlue is firing back at a House GOP investigation into its workings. The Dem online fundraising platform says the probe appears to be an unconstitutional abuse of power to help the White House.

Meanwhile in Russia: decorated state TV host Vladimir Solovyov and his fellow propagandists rejoiced about events in California, hoping they mark the beginning of a civil war in the United States they've long been rooting for. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWo7...

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

This is awesome! Please flood social media and the internet with this!

Stay strong, stay united, Democratic governors!

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

The people at @smartelections.bsky.social are moving forward with a major lawsuit in NY over this obvious instance of fraud that took place in the 2024 Election... [ Reposted from @realdlhughley.bsky.social on Instagram ]

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Protesters being arrested in Dallas now

So much this…

Another piece of Project 2025 hidden in the GOP House DHS 2026 funding bill. (Section 544) that says the government can’t take action against anyone who discriminates against same-sex marriage—as long as they claim it’s based on a “sincerely held religious belief.”

They’re ripping kids out of their parents’ arms—again. In America. In our names. DHS raids don’t just “enforce law”—they shatter families like glass on pavement. A child’s scream isn’t collateral damage. It’s the sound of a democracy losing its soul. This is cruelty by design.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.
