How can so many otherwise decent people believe Trump’s lies? New findings from published in the journal Cognitive Research show that the more often a statement — true or not — is repeated, the more emphatically it’s believed. @hartmannreport.com www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

BREAKING: Utah’s Lt. Governor blocked a new law that would have ended collective bargaining for public employee unions!! She blocked the law because the PEOPLE got enough signatures to put a voter referendum on the 2026 ballot affirming collective bargaining rights. BIG WIN FOR WORKERS!!! ✊

Greg Abbott has awakened a bipartisan, pro-public education movement. The same day he signed his billionaire voucher scam into law, Texans rejected anti-public education extremists in school board races across the state. Even in defeat, I see hope. A new movements is beginning.

Alert🚨: Trump has placed tariffs at 145% on all goods from China meaning prices for these goods will more than double for American families. In 2024 China manufactured 76% of all children's toys, 80% of dog toys & 79% of laptops/ tablets in the US, so now our port traffic has declined by nearly 50%

Trump's tariffs are crashing the economy, RAISING the cost of things American families need to buy & decimating savings & retirement funds. He’s focused on raising costs on average people while ensuring billionaires get away with NOT paying taxes. #TariffsAreTaxes

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Under the false pretense of a “national emergency,” Trump has levied tariffs on just about every country in the world, except Russia. Who pays tariffs? We do. It’s a national sales tax on every import we buy: groceries, gas, electronics, & more. Trump is crashing the economy and hurting us.

I'm old enough to remember way back in history, when GDP Growth in the USA was 2.5% and the Stock Markets weren't crashing, incomes were up, unemployment was down, and 16 million new jobs were created. Oh, wait, that was last November.

Ummmm…that’s NOT at ALL what the Golden Rule means. The Golden Rule is secular language for love thy neighbor as thyself. IOW - have empathy for others. If these “Christians” are teaching that the Golden Rule means an eye for an eye, no wonder they’re churning out such hateful people.

Rachel Carson may be the most important force behind the environmental movement that you may not know. Her book “Silent Spring” released in 1962 changed the focus looking @ chemical impacts on the environment - DDT. She had a master in zoology before being the 2nd woman hired at US fisheries in 1936
