I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. I will stand up for the least of these.

Important Read!! www.cbsnews.com/news/moms-de...

Trump also commuted the six federal life sentences of Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover, 74, who was convicted of murder, extortion, money laundering, and drug related offenses, and from prison ran a notorious drug gang that had about 30,000 members across 31 states- HC RICHARDSON

this washer's stuck on woke!

Trump wants to deport a four-year-old who could die from a life-threatening medical condition if her treatment is interrupted. How does this cruelty make us a stronger nation?

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Today, we honor the brave members of the U.S. armed forces who gave their lives in service to our nation.

Never forget

This Memorial Day and every day, we remember and honor all of America’s heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe and free. We will never forget their service and bravery.

Memorial Day is a reminder that freedom isn’t free. Today, I join every American in honoring the brave men and women who selflessly answered the call of duty and made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. They will never be forgotten.

Jesus said he came to bring good news to the poor. Those in power who are claiming they want a “Christian nation” are only bringing good news to the rich and powerful while creating cruel conditions for the poor. They want “Christianity” without the inconvenience of Christ.

A day of remembrance for those who fought for this country.

Trump can’t even show basic respect on Memorial Day. Utterly unfit for office.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Donald Trump just announced a pardon for Scott Jenkins, a former Virginia sheriff sentenced to 10 years in prison for taking over $70,000 in bribes to appoint local businessmen as auxiliary deputies. Drain the swamp!

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

For nearly 20 years, a doctor falsely diagnosed patients as having a chronic disease, administered unnecessary, toxic treatments and filed more than $118 million in fraudulent health insurance claims to fund his lavish lifestyle, which included a private jet, luxury cars and high-end properties.

On Memorial Day we honor the service members who gave their lives for our nation, and the loved ones who bear the burden of their loss. That is a sacrifice that cannot be repaid. As we work toward peace, let us never forget those who have served on our behalf.

True patriots don’t believe the president should be a king. True patriots don’t support an attempted coup. True patriots don't want to strip Americans of our freedoms. It’s time to stop letting Republicans claim the mantle of patriotism. They’ve done nothing to deserve it.

Our take: “My worst fears about this conflict continue to come true. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire, and Israel’s justifications for its actions are increasingly inadequate. The longer this goes on, the greater the threat to everyone involved.”-- Tangle News

Our take: “This bill is a nearly complete betrayal of Trump’s promises. It increases the national debt, favors the rich, and will remove millions from Medicaid. I can only hope that the Senate makes major reforms.”-- Tangle News

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

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Good point, they opened now bc Biden administration paid for and planned them, they just didn't open until they were completed which happens to be now

A post shared more than 13,000 times claims PM Sir Keir Starmer has invited Syria’s transitional President Ahmed al-Sharaa for a state visit to the UK. But we can find no evidence this is the case. The FCDO confirmed to Full Fact there are no current plans for any such visit.

You sure? Coz non-official acts of corruption are not immune from prosecution.

Are we great yet?

third story is that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has denied North Carolina’s request that it honor a commitment made by President Joe Biden to pay for 100% of the costs for removal of debris after Hurricane Helene devastated the western part of the state in September 2024. HCR

the Trump family controls about 60% of World Liberty Financial, a decentralized financial platform that produces the USD1 stablecoin, a kind of cryptocurrency... it admitted to violating laws against money laundering and agreed to pay a $300 million fine.

"with Musk in the Oval Office, Trump showed to the cameras a picture of people moving body bags, and said “[t]hese are all white farmers that are being buried.” In fact, it was a picture from Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo, showing humanitarian workers burying bodies in a war zone." HCR

Economist Robert Reich points out Americans making between about $17,000 & $51,000 will lose about $700 a year. On average, Americans with incomes of less than $17,000 will lose more than $1,000 a year. But if you are among the top 0.1% of earners, you’re in luck: you’ll gain nearly $390,000 a year.

the bill cuts at least $715 billion in healthcare spending, mostly from Medicaid, and $300 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, causing more than 2.7 million American households to lose benefits- HC Richardson

now hidden in the bill: “No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued….”- Robert Reich quoting big bill in House

A new study from researchers in the US and Germany shows that having an “aha!” moment, when a solution suddenly clicks in your mind, can nearly double how well you remember what you’ve learned.

“Tx Republicans expect applause for a deal that still leaves us in a funding crisis. Texans will see this deal for what it is: too little, too late,”... “The schoolhouse is burning to the ground & instead of grabbing the fire hose, Tx Republicans are throwing a cup of water on the flames.” https:

"basic allotment was set in 2019 at $6,160 & has not been raised since; if it had kept up with inflation, it would now be more than $7,600...districts say they have struggled to recruit & retain staff & have been forced to run deficit budgets,"

Earlier this month, Milwaukee’s health commissioner expressed dismay that the CDC’s entire team working on childhood lead exposure had been laid off. “These are the best and brightest minds in these areas around lead poisoning, and now they’re gone,” he said Heather Cox Richardson
