He nails it.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

. General Mark Milley was right . . . ... and he's still right ! 💠 👊 💠

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

Ohhh yeah, it hurts........

It has been a long and grueling week. Thank you to everyone who offered kind words of support. If you want to follow everything happening to democracy in court, while also supporting pro-democracy independent media, please sign up for Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Since taking office, Trump has been trying to advance the unitary executive theory, a fringe legal theory that asserts that the president has unlimited power to control the actions of the four million people who make up the executive branch.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

So proud that democrats are trying every possible procedural option to fight for us. The republicans own what is happening to us! They own every single part of it!

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

BREAKING: Canada defeats the USA to take home the #4Nations  Championship 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Canadian PM Justin Trudeau tweeted: “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.”

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Never forget.

Now it makes sense!

Love this!!!

Trump/Musk moronic moves continue to destroy a once great nation!

If this is correct, then that’s outstanding!

This period of history will be written about for centuries as the ‘Deconstruction Era’. When the cost of living and healthcare outpaced wages so much so that Americans turned to a fat fake TV businessman who lied to them, destabilized the world and segregated the poor to steal their social security.

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.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

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.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Dark Pence is back.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

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

Let’s get these up in every State!

It’s a conundrum. 🤷‍♂️

This is unconscionable to leave her at risk & potential loss of her ovary when it is well known that an ectopic pregnancy is not viable.

Rose is one of thousands of federal workers who have been terminated by the Trump administration. At 26, she's left wondering what to do now.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

To hell with your hatred, Mr. Trump. This is not who we are. We are not hell-makers for other people. We aren't going to be defined by the pain we manufacture for one another, by the people we exclude, by the burdens we pile on the already-burdened. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-hell-wi...

The ridiculous Trump failings continue!

This 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Trump on Hannity just now: "I always respected [Musk]" Trump in 2022:

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?
