Here’s a rare member of the U.S. Senate who seems to understand how close we are to a dictatorship.

The neo-reactionary blogger Curtis Yarvin’s call for a monarch to rule America once seemed like a joke. Not anymore.

31 years! Happy anniversary, Gwen. The kids and I are so lucky to have you in our lives.

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

Sooo, Elon Musk threatens republican senators that if they vote for the BBB (Big Beautiful Bill), he will fund their primary competitors. We knew this would happen. And we knew this food fight would be good!

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

On Inauguration Day, my Stop the Presses newsletter listed 12 signs to look for if you wanted to determine whether a dictatorship had arrived. One of those was: “Fictional government statistics.” And here we have the Trump regime messing with a farm trade report. 1/

Jessica Tarlov: “He does these interviews and says I don't know, or I'm not sure. He was asked ‘do you need to uphold the constitution? I don't know, ask a lawyer’ … He may be in front of you, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not spewing utter BS.”

Say no to the golden handcuffs. This is a multibillion scam that will force Canada further into the military "protection" of the authoritarian regime in Washington. It is about making us a vassal state. We need to put the protection of our interests as top priority for military investments.

Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:” “It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” Nailed it! 🔥

We can never give up hope. Our kids are counting on us.

This is the best thing I’ve seen today and I need a source. Bluesky, please help. Credit to whoever this rad group is.

Could we be more stupid? Let. Her. Serve. 🇺🇸💪

We apologize for posting today we’ve been keeping things to a minimum. However, a situation is unfolding and we need one communication: Please follow the guidance coming from inside the house.

NASHVILLE SCENE: “The week after ICE concluded its operation, local lawyers noticed a spike in illegal evictions of Hispanic immigrant families, and the message from landlords to their tenants is clear: If you refuse to leave, we’ll call ICE.” www.nashvillescene.com/news/citylim...

How a real President honors fallen heroes.

BBB both grows the deficit and cuts food for poor kids

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

The U.S. has officially accepted a luxury jetliner from Qatar as a gift, and slated it to become a new Air Force One. Experts say that overhaul could take years and cost hundreds of millions.

The cruelty is the point.

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

I sit on the Oversight Committee as the Vice Ranking Member, and let me be clear: this ain’t oversight, it’s a damn joke.

LISTEN as GOP Sen. Johnson admits the GOP tax scam will increase the deficit by $4 trillion with the Big Beautiful Bill, and that Medicaid will be cut: "Now what are you going to cut? Medicaid, absolutely" #StopTheBillionaireBailout

Wait, so the same DOJ that asked the judge to let Eric Adams off the hook because the investigation they opened in 2021 is too close to the 2025 mayoral elections just opened an investigation into Andrew Cuomo, running in the same race a month before early voting begins. You can't make this up.

caught in a lie by Sen. Whitehouse, Lee Zeldin starts yelling at him and has a meltdown

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.
