One of the biggest banks being called “Gold man sacks” is pretty inexcusable.

DELETED: Trump administration deleted a webpage summarizing evidence that “undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.” 1/2

Little Mikie just said they have to keep the House and Senate in 2026 or if the Dems win… they will impeach the President… hmmm Mikie… so you seem to know there’s grounds to impeach? That’s so interesting….

I developed a case of mild asthma post-COVID. I cannot express to you the fear, the panic, of wanting to draw breath and your throat being closed. The instant relief and eye-watering gratitude of using your inhaler. That first sweet, ragged breath you take in.

Wow! Democratic Candidate Keyshawn Scott wins S.C. state house district by 41 points. 41 points!

"You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life!" Ants, our day will come. In the meantime, rest up for the road ahead. And maybe (re)watch A Bug's Life this week. GN 💚🐜

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires employer health care plans cover PrEP free of charge This radical right wing religious extremist is hellbent on suing the federal govt to end coverage for PrEP and other HIV prevention medication

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

New Mexico is not a wealthy state. But they continue to put their meager budget to help its people, from free childcare to minimum basic income to student loan help. Proud to call this home.

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

Joni Ernst can go to hell for that answer 👇👇👇👇👇

Synchronized feeding at the Denver Botanic Garden. Must be something good #underneath. #BlueSkyArtShow #underneath #denver

Just started listening to "Stay Tuned" podcast with @preetbharara.bsky.social. I started from the oldest episodes... all the way back to 2017 during Trump's first term. Hard to distinguish from today. Anyway, I loved this interview with Jeff Flake about the GOP. cafe.com/stay-tuned/e...

Breaking news: Contradicting HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the CDC continues to recommend the coronavirus vaccines for healthy children, according to new documentation posted to the agency's website.
