The Department of Justice is now just another part of the Republican voter suppression war machine. I will do everything I can to "thwart" its efforts to under free and fair elections.

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

Happy Fragile Straight Man Month!

We were on the cusp of an immense breakthrough: A cure to our HIV epidemic. A vaccine to prevent one of the world’s deadliest diseases. Until RFK Jr. defunded vaccine trials because a cure to HIV isn't as important as tax breaks for rich people like Big Pharma CEOs.

And now for something completely different… John Albert Bauer 1882-1918 Swedish painter/illustrator. Landscapes, mythology, portraits. Known for illustrations of Bland tomtar och troll (Among Gnomes and Trolls) "Pater" (1900) watercolor, indian ink & pencil on paper

The dictator of one of the United States' enemies is using the President of the United States to announce military attacks on a United States ally.

Another travel ban grounded in racism and xenophobia.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Cole Schmidtknecht, 22, had insurance but couldn’t afford to refill his asthma inhaler after the cost jumped from $70 to more than $500. Five days after his pharmacy visit last year, Cole had a severe asthma attack and died.

I’m off for now:) hope your night goes well 🌙 #Photography #Nightshift #Sunset #Cloudscape

The last time he pulled this Muslim ban BS, people rushed into the streets in disgust & lawyers raced to the airports to help. Now, no one’s shocked, everyone is numb… This country is in seriously scary shape

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Perfect.

Because we could all use a mega happy ending. #NowWatching WAYNE’S WORLD.

Lawrence: That is the budgetary cycle we've been in since the 1980s. Republican presidents increased the deficits. Democratic presidents from Bill Clinton forward come into office and reduce the deficits created by the Republican presidents.

Worth pondering.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

If elected officials don't get on board with a general strike, If celebrities don't get on board with a general strike, If influencers don't get on board with a general strike, If folks with wealth and power and fame don't get on board with a general strike... WE DO IT ANYWAY.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Some day, we had damned well better have our own Nuremberg Trials as a nation.

Proud dad moment. Congratulations, Gus!

I’ve never felt so validated in all my life.

There is some hope.

The #MAGAMurderBudget is going to kill people.
