I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Spare us the fake outrage.

I heard there was a U.S credit downgrade by Moody’s. Guess which Governor helped Illinois get nine credit rate increases in six years? I’m sure he’d be willing to give some tips.

Had a great time catching up with you all on the Red Line, Chicago.

A Chicago Bear of a man!

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

This Memorial Day weekend, the best way to honor the soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice is to honor and protect the freedoms and the democracy they died for.

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

Crockett: They have nothing to show for it except for those top earners being able to have their next trophy wife or buy their next yacht, or get their next plane, that doesn't work for me. And that obviously does not work for my constituents.

We are seeing this in real time . . . 'flooding the zone with shit' as Steve Bannon taught them.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

Here’s an idea: Stop acting like the Gestapo.

BREAKING: MeidasTouch, the nation’s top independent pro-democracy media network, is proud to announce that attorney and renowned legal analyst Katie Phang has launched a brand-new YouTube channel in partnership with MeidasTouch. Subscribe now: youtube.com/@katiephangnews

The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

Those on the high court often exercise caution in their choice of words. That is why it was striking when she used an audience of lawyers to deliver a stern message to the legal profession: stand up for democracy, take on the hard fights and do whatever you can to win.

Wise words from Stephen King

I was reading up on the history of diphtheria and ran across this interesting fact.

Just a reminder. Trump’s dumb posts about Taylor Swift & Bruce Springsteen are meant to distract. Today, he doesn’t want you talking about his “big beautiful bill” cutting Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for his mega-donors & mega-rich pals.

It speaks to Donald's breathtaking incompetence that he spent this morning moaning about Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift instead of whipping votes for his "big beautiful budget bill" he pretended to care so much about.

They received presidential pardons for this ‘message’ and it wasn’t seashells on a beach.

The Boss opened his European tour with a fiery speech that has everyone talking—and now you can see it for yourself.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

In a fiery moment on the House floor, Rep. Tom Suozzi just tore into the GOP’s reconciliation package—exposing contradiction after contradiction. If you watch one clip today, make it this. 🎯🔥

Amazing!

THIS is the most devastating constitutional crisis.

🧵 Masha Gessen, who lived under Russia’s secret police, is sounding the alarm: the U.S. is now echoing those same authoritarian patterns. Raids, surveillance, fear tactics—it’s not theoretical anymore. We are watching a police state take root in real time. #OnYourSide @mashagessen.bsky.social

True story…👇

Marsha is the fraud

Salt Lake City, Utah, and Boise, Idaho, adopted official Pride flags on Tuesday in response to state laws barring the display of any nonofficial flags at schools and government buildings.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

If your economic strategy involves plunging America into a recession, it’s probably the wrong one.

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

I'll be protesting Saturday. I hear a lot of people get paid to protest. Does anyone have a link to a Soros app where I can apply to be paid for protesting? Do these jobs come with benefits? Maybe I need to post on Truth Social to find where to apply. I don't see the jobs posted on Indeed.

Canada and Mexico brought resumes. We brought reality show B-roll.

I mean, yeah.
