Duffy’s full of it. Pete Buttigieg and Dems pushed to modernize our air traffic control system under Biden—Republicans in Congress blocked it. The Trump administration’s been too busy blaming DEI instead of fixing the real problems.

How about some basic rules? --All law enforcement officers should wear identification --No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks --All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams ...oh and... --All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

The headline's a bit misleading, FYI. The (much less dramatic) study found that for households with the dirtiest 5% of gas stoves, breathing the benzene emitted by gas flames increases kids' leukemia risks to 6-12 times higher than the WHO recommended limit of 1 in a million.

I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. Earlier today, the president attempted to illegally fire me. This is corruption, plain and simple. I will see the president in court. My full statement:

Why more Democrats don’t just say normal stuff like this I’ll never understand. It isn’t that hard.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

It’s the 62nd anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright, a case in which SCOTUS ruled that states must provide legal counsel to indigent defendants. To all public defenders: Thank you for your important, grueling, and often thankless work to protect the rights of the accused.

I tested it, because it seemed so craven, grotesque, and absurd, but if you put in the original URL it changes to the "DEI" version automatically. www.defense.gov/News/Feature...

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Rieckhoff: And what I would tell folks is: if they treat veterans like this, if they treat retired generals like this, how do you think they're going to treat everyone else? How do you think they're going to treat you? We are just first.

A blue whale's anus can stretch to approximately 3.5 feet in diameter. That makes it the second-biggest asshole in the world.

52 years ago today

wealth worship, technophilia, fetishization of violence & belief that a “free market” should let the wealthy owners go unchecked by oversight or regulation have landed us in this time & place where few if any people take appropriate & urgent action to protect our environment or one another.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Real life feels plotted like the bonkers turns of that Paradise show.

they are just so profoundly stupid

This is how it is happening.

Please!! Everyone should write their congress person insisting that the flags remain at half mast for President Carter! Beyond honoring Carter properly, it pisses t-Rump off!!

People wrongly cast today's politics as Republicans vs. Democrats. It's actually Republicans vs. democracy. It's not a partisan thing. It's a traitors vs. patriots thing.

Contemplation for today…. if you LIKE IT give it 💙and plz RP😘😘

Me today😂 #Funny #Memes

This is a prime example of how anger directed towards the ruling class is taken and redirected against each other. The powers that be don't want us to look at things through the lens of class struggle; they want a culture war. This is why we are so divided as a nation. Our division aids them.

MAGA and other Trump voters are so disappointed 😥 👇

"I mean, it's clear, that these are incoherent, incompetent, self-serving, wannabe oligarchs. So, it is not clear exactly what their #plan is. But, like you said, Chris, #time and time again, they can't help themselves, they want to provide tax cuts for their #billionaire buddies. It doesn't ...

"We take an oath not to a #president, but to the #Constitution, and I think that any #senator who says I’m just going to vote in favor of whoever the president sends up because the president has vetted him enough, is really violating their oath of office." — Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)
