Please do this! My family is one of the very few I know that have never had COVID. Maybe we’re asymptomatic. Maybe we’ve actually never had it, I dunno. But I’m not willing to take that chance on some Trump anti-science bigot telling me and my family we can’t get our boosters.

Did you know that you can just say you have a preexisting condition and no one is actually allowed to demand proof because that’s protected medical information? Just something to think about the next time you’re in Walgreens.

The Trump administration can say what they want but the video couldn’t be clearer: Plainclothes, warrantless ICE agents ambushed Mahmoud Khalil — and he did not resist or try to flee. This arrest was illegal and unjustified. He must be released. www.cnn.com/2025/05/19/u...

The criminal charge against Congresswoman McIver is extreme, morally bankrupt and lacks any basis in law or fact. This is a blatant attempt to intimidate Congress & interfere with our ability to serve as a check and balance on an out-of-control executive branch. Democrats will not be intimidated.

Donald Trump is using your tax dollars to throw himself a $45 million birthday party. A dictator-style military parade – all while slashing 80,000 jobs at the VA. youtu.be/_sG3l27AtoI?...

Republicans are scheduling votes in the DEAD OF NIGHT on Trump's "big, beautiful bill." They advanced their bill last night at 10:30PM. The next vote is scheduled for 1AM on Wednesday. Why hide? Maybe because this bill rips away health care from babies, new moms, and seniors.

We devote musicals, miniseries, and documentaries to the founders of our first republic and not to those of our second, who saw this country with clear eyes. We need fewer encomiums for Jefferson, Madison, and Lafayette. More respect for Sumner, Stevens, Bingham and Douglass (Frederick).

I realize this is small potatoes compared to everything that’s going on right now, but it’s constantly frustrating to me that Trump’s name is gonna be part of an inescapable historical record; effectively making him immortal while 99.999% of humanity will be forgotten dust drifting away in the wind.

Musk's Starlink was having a hard time getting permits abroad. Then Trump slapped tariffs on basically everything we buy from overseas—and suddenly countries negotiating trade deals started giving Starlink sweet deals! Looks like textbook corruption—and we're all paying for it.

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.

While the cost of air travel continues to go up for average Americans, Donald Trump gets a half-billion dollar “air palace” from a favorite Emir. Trump’s corruption makes him richer. You get poorer. Same old story.

"Why do faceless politicians have the power to strip human beings of their divine moments?” Mahmoud Khalil shares a public letter to his 3 week old son, who he hasn't been allowed to meet because ICE is keeping him detained for his speech in support of Palestinian rights.

This seems like kind of a big story and it's frustrating that we're still getting "it's time for liberals to consider the lab leak" think pieces. The two best pieces of "evidence" come directly from the Trump Administration and have completely fallen apart under scrutiny!

I'm sincerely happy for the Giant Bomb crew for reclaiming their work from a pretty awful corporation, but it just reminds me how angry I am for rounding up seven-figure funding to buy 1UP from Ziff-Davis only for them to refuse ("it's too valuable!!") and... let the site fall into rot for 12 years

Our trade deal so far is no tariffs on Rolls Royces and Bentleys and our refugee policy is white South Africans only.
