MAGA's Big Ugly Bill doesn't just hurt people. It hurts treasured public lands & monuments. If passed, 250M+ acres of protected public lands, maybe national monuments, will be sold to the highest bidder for whatever purpose they wish. Is this what you voted for? www.wilderness.org/articles/med...

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

BREAKING: Texas Republicans just passed a major book banning bill. They say it’s about protecting kids from “filth.” But when I questioned the bill author, he admitted that it could ban classics like Romeo and Juliet, Catcher in the Rye, and Lonesome Dove.

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation. Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

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.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

He’s a liar just like the rest of them. Kehoe ran as a “moderate.” He’s actually an extremist who doesn’t think working Missourians deserve $13.75/hour or earned sick time…even when the voters approved both.

I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

Instead of deporting undocumented, tax-paying immigrants by using the IRS, why not create a legal path to status for them? They paid over $96 billion in taxes in 2022 alone. With a real path to legal status and without ICE breathing down their necks, they would contribute even more.

At least 75% of the men Trump illegally deported to El Salvador have no criminal records. These men have been abducted and sent to a hell-hole Salvadoran “prison” that is the the equivalent of a torture-laden concentration camp. DEMAND freedom and justice for these men.
