💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

In news that should surprise absolutely no one.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day.

No king but King Jesus.

Rep Lauren Boebert (R) suggests Sen Padilla (D) committed a federal crime by interfering with officers. Boebert has expertise on that (based on her own 2015 arrest) and a history of supporting law enforcement (except the officers attacked by J6 rioters, whose pardons she backed)

My friends, it's not just happening in a galaxy far, far away.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

13-yr-old Camarria Williams made a remarkable discovery when she found a compound with potential cancer-fighting properties in goose poop from Garfield Park, Chicago. This surprising find happened while participating in the Chicago Antibiotic Discovery Lab, a STEM program in collaboration with the

I cannot get over these cops wearing night vision to arrest a dude on a Southwest Airlines flight in broad daylight.

In normal times, DOJ wins most of its cases because it has the resources to ensure that presidential actions are lawful. But under Trump, the Department is run by a sycophantic election denying enabler. The result is DOJ's credibility with judges is in tatters and it is losing case after case.

Reminder: DOGE was never about "efficiency."

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Wise words from Mr. Rogers. We are all in this together. Let us all renew ourselves to strive for the common good.

My nine year-old son just told me his favorite rapper is Kendrick Lamar if you are wondering how this parenting thing is going.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

BREAKING: Kristi Noem doesn’t know what Habeas Corpus is. This is highly concerning

This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.

The U.S. ambassador to Gambia warned: approve Elon Musk’s Starlink—or risk losing U.S. foreign aid. That’s not diplomacy. That’s corruption. 🎥 Part 1 of a 5-part series 📖 Full post: onoffense.substack.com/p/musk-starl... #elonmusk #starlink #autocracy #antifascism #antifascistbookclub

Gertz: When you look at someone like Pam Bondi, she made two dozen appearances on different Fox News shows over the first 100 days of the Trump administration. One out of every four days, she’s on Fox News talking about whatever she says the Justice Department is doing. That just doesn’t add up...

“Either America will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy the United States.” -W.E.B. DeBois

This is bleak reading

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

We need to keep doing this. We need to constantly remind the media and the people that these are ordinary people, not boogie men criminals. They’re human beings being grabbed by the real monsters who are ICE.

Elon donated $291 million to Trump. Then, Trump’s administration didn’t take action on 40 investigations and killed cases involving Tesla, Space X, and Neuralink — saving Elon billions. The $291 million was a bribe. This is what corruption looks like.

Happy Mother's Day. It's a moral outrage that we're the only industrialized country without paid family and medical leave.

This story just gets worse and worse

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

If you’re wondering what actual “anti Christian bias” looks like:

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

If you were a government official selling exclusive access for cash, you’d be charged with bribery and face 15 years in prison. Donald Trump is currently holding a contest to see who can bribe him the most. This is what a corrupt oligarchy looks like.

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

🔥 WATCH: Bernie sweeps aside Senator Slotkin saying Dems should stop talking about fighting the oligarchy because people don’t understand. Of course people get it. And if they don’t, you don’t stop saying it. You say it until they do. #FightTheOligarchy 🇺🇸

Slashing fed investments that help shield communities from natural disasters is idiocy, not efficiency. Trump’s actions will only endanger more people while increasing costs & slowing down recovery. We will fight Trump's illegal money grab.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
