Such a clear understanding that so many MAGAts miss.

Origami Ballet Agnes Obel - “The Curse” #inspire #inspirationalvideo #inspiration #dance

In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.

GOP to America: Stop clinging to your healthcare and retirement. We are all going to die sometime. We’re just gonna make sure it happens sooner, and from a homeless shelter.

"As Musk slinks away, spending went up, not down, during his tenure, and DOGE made the government less efficient, not more..." "A legacy of shattered institutions, weakened public services, and fired civil servants who did nothing but serve their country well..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

It’s been around since 1983.

“The Court of International Trade ruled Wednesday that President Donald Trump exceeded his authority in imposing tariffs on all imported goods, calling an immediate halt to his signature trade war policy.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Beyond parody.

Breaking News: A judge said the government should release Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist employed by Harvard University, saying U.S. customs had “no factual or legal basis” for revoking her visa.

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.”

He’s a criminal. Get him out! With Tapper trying to make the case about a coverup of Biden’s declining health being “worse than Watergate,” we have this POS making much “worse than Watergate” decisions almost daily, but it doesn’t get called out by major media and barely gets press!

My advice for graduates: 1. Be cool. 2. Don't be a fool. 3. Avoid being a tool.

Any news organization that covered that speech and didn't mention that he is clearly suffering from dementia & often incoherently rambling has abdicated their responsibility to truth in reportage. This abdication and failure, pretending he & his cult are normal, is a large part of how we got here.

Go #Michigan HE GETS BRIBES - WE GET SCREWED! Stoneschool pedestrian bridge over I-94 in Ann Arbor! Every Friday 4:30-6. Park on Birch Hollow #VisibilityBrigade

I want that list.

Olympian levels of lying here from our devoutly Christian Speaker.

Lawmakers have defended the bill as simply purging Medicaid of illegal immigrants and ensuring that those who can work are not relying on Medicaid in order to avoid doing so. It’s a wildly inaccurate portrayal of what these reforms will actually do.

He had on the job training during his first term. He can’t handle competent staff they won’t let him get away with his criminal activities

Hundreds of public safety grants cut, worth $500 million, funded initiatives like drug treatment and gun violence prevention programs.

This is shameful

I hope this isn’t just aspirational.

It's hard to argue against the fact that our current economic and political climate is a direct result of the “Citizens United” decision by SCOTUS in 2010. Politicians are no longer accountable to their constituents. They now work for the largest donors.

Trump is taking a $400 million luxury jet bribe from Qatar while denying North Carolina $200 million in disaster relief funding.

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

This hits hard.

“This bill highlights a truism: In the United States, racism has always gone hand in hand with the concentration of wealth among the very richest people.” Disgusting.

Art has a special role to play in this moment. It can tell a story far more effectively than someone like me. Artists, please do your thing!

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is Robin Hood in reverse: it takes from the poor to give to the rich.SNAP (used to be Food Stamps…which Tabby and I used back in 1972) is gone. Medicare is going.

Taxes, y’all.

Tuberville doesn't know the three branches of the U.S. government in which he serves, but he knows that Putin wants Odessa, Crimea, and limits to NATO. And Tuberville can't blame Putin for those demands. Huh.
