What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Zelensky fact-checked JD Vance in real-time, and repeatedly interrupted Trump’s lies. At the end, Zelensky looked at the press pool and gave a thumbs up with a smile. Zelensky then went on Fox and refused to apologize. Good. Trump is the one who owes an apology—and his resignation—to the world.

The media has failed the public on a crucial matter: the derangement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Often he is described in news reports as a vaccine skeptic, when he is far more than that. He is an extreme vaccine opponent.

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA. There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

This is becoming absurd—federal employees are now being told to remove pronouns from their email signatures. We will always stand by our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, no matter how many things we’re asked to delete or change. Inclusivity is at the core of who we are.

Donald Trump and Republicans led the charge to ban TikTok, only to turn around and pretend they’re the heroes saving it. Next up: they’ll set your house on fire and take credit for calling 911.

I suppose it’s fitting that the traitor-elect will be sworn in for the office he tried to steal in the rotunda his cultists trashed in order to help him steal it.
