Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

This would simply be one of the most important things to ever happen, ever

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s response: “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We’ll see you in court.”

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

American presidents don’t even joke about this. Just because he’s petty doesn’t mean this isn’t dangerous.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

I wanted to come up with an analogy to describe Trump's absurd plan for Ukraine. Something like... "Imagine if Mexico invaded America and then met with Canada to decide how much of America they should keep." I quickly realized my analogy was something most Americans would welcome right now.

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life: Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

This is what I was talking about last week.

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

We worked our entire lives paying into Social Security. Elon Musk has been sucking on the government tit his entire adult life. Americans don't owe him a fucking thing.

This is a coup.

Father Pence is not having the ‘King’s’ BS.

BREAKING: Massive protest rallies are happening today across the country, blasting DOGE and the guy that nobody voted for. There will even be a protest at SpaceX headquarters. SPREAD THE WORD. 🙏💪

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552. Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

DOGE recommended firing staff at USDA who were working on the nation's response to bird flu and hundreds of employees working at the National Nuclear Security Administration overseeing our nuclear stockpile. Now the Trump admin is scrambling to hire them back. "Efficiency."

Both sides can play this game

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

JFC indeed.

“Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything”. - Malcolm X. Words to live by for this old white lady. I mean…could anything be more accurate or appropriate to today’s situation. I don’t think so.
