I can’t believe this needs to be said, but cutting funding for cancer research is not how you make America great. thehill.com/policy/healt...

Senator from Kansas thinks that some foreign aid is important. Wonder why?

Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) on Wednesday rolled out the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK) Act, which would ban "special" government employees like Musk from having federal contracts. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Hey. Here are the names of the unauthorized dudes who are creeping into government computers: The engineers are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. These are the DOGE boys.

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

It’s worth noting that the president of the United States today made more racist comments than we’ve seen any president make publicly in, what, a century? More publicly racist comments than many presidents who were, with history’s eye, virulently racist humans, but ones who at least knew their role.

They’ve been published! We weren’t imagining things!!! open.substack.com/pub/smartele...

Kash Patel’s hearing to be Trump’s FBI Director is coming up tomorrow. He has a long history of spreading lies about the FBI and of smearing the public servants who work there to keep us safe.

Perfectly said.

Donald Trump and JD Vance claim that the pardons of violent criminals were about due process and "liberty." They were not.

The worst of all possible inaugurations

The Contrarian masthead already the strongest pro-democracy group in the country, probably stronger than all of legacy media combined. Check it out (and it’s already growing beyond this): Contributors include: Allegra Lawrence-Hardy, Andrew Weissmann, Andy Borowitz, Asha Rangappa, Barb McQuade,

Clemency granted. Thank you so much President Biden.

Exactly.

This is the cowardice of the Washington Post. Legacy media is failing.

We're out of the Paris Climate Accord now. And that's not even the most awful of his executive orders. I will never ever forgive the people who voted for this.

👍💖🤞

Wow

I do believe that we are often with people or in a job, not for the reason we think, but as a means of helping or fixing something else.

His speeches were inspiring

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

“When women are free to make their own decisions about their lives and to follow our dreams, we are unstoppable.” Cecile was a force of nature. May her memory be a blessing. 19thnews.org/2025/01/ceci...

Let's recap. The victims of a crime, those who tried to stop that crime and those who investigated it, received pardons today to protect themselves from the criminals because the criminals are now in charge. How quickly things change when people stop paying attention.

Dr. King spread a message of justice and persisted in the face of hatred.   His legacy calls us to serve each other and to continue striving towards a more inclusive and united Minnesota.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

💯.

This.

This is indeed a major loss. While Wallsten does not have the famous byline, he is an amazingly respected editor and a mensch who is beloved by his reporters. He’s been described to me like the Jenga piece you don’t pull or it all falls down.

Pretty impressive that the guy who wants to — and probably will be —SECDEF can’t name a single ASEAN country. Absolute clown show.

Mediocre white men😂🔥👏🏻 I thought I couldn’t possibly adore Kris & Dave more until I saw today’s glorious pearls of wisdom. All credit to 1910.craftsman.on.burns on IG. Amen. 🙏✡️

Capitol Hill switchboard 202-224-3121 Make the call. ((☎️)) Ask for your representatives. Demand they vote NO.

Have you noticed the media playing along with RFK Jr? MEDIA: “RFK Jr. is ‘shifting’ his views on vaccines.” Nonsense! He’s LYING about his position on vaccines & conspiracy theories in order to get confirmed. The media needs to stop sanitizing this dangerous man as if he’s a sane, rational human.

I miss the feeling of hope and joy of the Harris campaign

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way. This is not a hot take. It's just plain common sense.

Oh, I want much more than this. I want everything any intelligence agency has on Donald Trump declassified as well as anything the Department of Justice has. Our intelligence community sat on its ass and did nothing to help us with a walking national security threat for 10 years. Let that end now.
