We are the first generation that has sufficient resources to put a roof over every head, a meal on every table, to provide education and basic health care to all, and to care for the planet. Yet we don't. You have to ask what is wrong with us?

Republicans are the kind of people who believe wearing a suit and tie makes a person more trustworthy.

Dear Republicans: If you are willing to allow this administration to deny immigrants their right to due process you have already given away your own right to due process. You understand that don't you?

Some of you will die, but that's a price Republicans are willing to pay to prevent pronouns on social media bios.

Don't 'All religions matter'?

The cracks in the Axis of Evil are starting to show...

In civilized countries they have public transport systems that work as well as universal Healthcare. The United States is not a civilized country any more.

How many clips do you see with Republican voters who express concern that they made a mistake with Trump, but who clearly don't think they made a mistake voting 'R' down ticket? Democrats need to make the Republican Party own Trump.

A quick note on #SocialSecurity. If you make $176,000 per year your SS #tax 💸 is $10,918. If you make $5,176,000 per year your SS tax is $10,918. Want to #save Social Security? Remove the cap and it will be funded for centuries.

Bill Gates, like every other tech bro, has been over-promising and under-delivering his whole life.

There's nothing like the introduction of tariffs to help you understand how many of the high-quality goods you aspire to own are made in other countries. That old trope about American made being best kinda falls apart when you go looking.

A couple of years ago I posted a joke on X about how the prices in Democrat grocery stores were not as high as Republican stores. It generated thousands of confused comments from MAGA Republicans unable to process humor. We now have Republican and Democrat law firms. I guess the joke's on me.

Far and away the best analysis of the last week of tariff madness. Thank you @hankgreen.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Juu...

Do you think Republicans understand you need to read a book to find it offensive?

He has absolutely no understanding that relationships are built on trust.

Incompetence is a word that cannot be used too often when describing Republican administrations. This is the polar opposite of efficiency.

Dear Republicans: You know all that BS you spout about personal responsibility? You are responsible for this.

If you want to win a trade war, you gotta have something to trade that other side wants. And we're in a trade war with the very people who make all the things WE want. You're not going to win that.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Do we now have "Republican law firms" and "Democratic law firms"?

The New Hampshire Health Care Workforce Coalition is opposing the state budget passed by the New Hampshire House on Thursday night, warning of dire consequences if the cuts are affirmed by the state Senate.

People immigrate to America to get away from having to do the kind of jobs that Trump wants to bring back.

I know it's not the most offensive part of this but that's a square panel on the wall and Obama's portrait was a square that fitted perfectly in the panel. To have my OCD triggered in the same action that offends my sense of decency is just too much for today.

The first amendment is dead. So, what comes next?
