Bill Simmons stopped me and thanked me for my contributions to “Celtics City”. This is a surreal experience… Also, confirmed I’m 6’4”. People saw it. There’s visual proof…

It shouldn’t be considered an act of bravery to stand up for what we already fought for.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Don't talk about it... join the numbers for our Country's sake. Here's the schedule. ARE YOU READY???

Pay attention... • Exxon • Moulton/Coors • Walmart Funded Heritage Foundation (#Project2025) for YEARS They don't accept or respect our right to live in a free democratic society. Why are we dumping our hard earned money into businesses to use against our communities and existence? #BoycottsWork

“What merit means to them” General Brown’s record, which Hegseth questioned for obvious reasons: www.af.mil/About-Us/Bio...

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Why destroy the U.S. postal service? Here’s why: Do you know any elderly people who have zero access to the internet? No email address? I do. They rely on postal mail for information about their Social Security and Medicare obligations. Take away the mail, and they will have no information.

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

Jeffries: Elon Musk has emerged as one of the most unpopular figures connected to the Trump Administration. Trump’s poll numbers are moving in the wrong direction, and it hasn’t even been a month. The real question is: What is the corrupt bargain that has been struck between Trump and Elon Musk?

What fucking ignorant moron at the Journal wrote this subhead

"As we navigate the sheer quantity of hate and unconstitutional extremism found within these orders, it’s essential we not let this blitzkrieg distract or deter us." - Keith Thirion

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

House Republicans who were willing to hold town halls back home this week got an earful. At events from Georgia and Wisconsin to Oklahoma and Oregon, many of them faced hostile crowds furious about the sweeping budget cuts & mass firings of federal workers that Trump and Musk’s DOGE is carrying out.

WTFU America!

I’m not running for congress but I’m very excited to see who does.

This is how it’s done.

Outfoxed again Hannity?

BREAKING: Donald Trump just fired General CQ Brown (left) and has replaced him with the less qualified Lt. General Dan Caine. DEI isn’t a problem if you’re white.

Gotta watch #MustSeeBinge

On this day, February 21, 1936, Barbara Jordan was born. A lawyer, educator, and politician, she was the first Black woman elected to the Texas Senate and the first Southern Black woman in the U.S. House. Jordan was known for her eloquence and dedication to ethics in government.

AOC: And he is running around because he thinks he got a bank account with a lot of zeros in it that it makes him some kind of super citizen. I don't think so.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy
