Just finished Season 6 of White Collar. Loved the show, hope there's a reboot. Oh, besides the version that is happening now in our White House.

The huge disgusting bill GOP are trying to push through has what is to me a very odd position. Per GOP on trade, a deficits with another country is bad. Yet when our own government wants to create a massive deficit, that's supposed to be a good thing??? For whom? They can't have it both ways.

The disastrous Citizens United decision put a for-sale sign on our democracy and has permitted $15 BILLION in outside spending since 2010. Our campaign finance system is broken, and if we want to fix it, we need to #EndCitizensUnited.

If @MarshaBlackburn is pushing a law to make it illegal to name ICE agents… doesn’t that mean it isn’t currently illegal? So what are she and @AndyOgles investigating Mayor O’Connell for exactly? 🤷🏻‍♂️ (Also: if ICE agents are this ashamed, maybe stop?) nypost.com/2025/06/04/u...

I'm really curious as to where many of our politicians come from. You don't hear much about interviews with people from their childhoods about whether they were honest, decent people vs being complete assholes. Is that because they actually didn't come from the US to begin with? Curious.

So, if Ukraine does this kind of attack 2 more times, the war is over? Sounds good to me.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

Another all-too-troubling step in Turkey's slide into authoritarianism. We must call out and confront this creeping autocracy, wherever it takes place — at home or abroad.

🤡CORRUPT Elmo WON the presidency for Trump; used DOGE to STOP investigations into his businesses; gave himself billions in gov't contracts; cut foreign aid; stole data; found NO WASTE & then stopped! How could this happen without Congressional approval? www.npr.org/2025/04/27/n...

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Outstanding news via Nancy: Merck isn’t backing down. While Trump wages war on DEI, Merck is standing tall—refusing to cave to the far-right’s anti-diversity crusade. It matters when corporate giants defend equity, inclusion, and the future we all deserve.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

How is the big ugly disgusting GOP budget trying to take money out of Medicare? That is paid into the same way Social Security is. That is out & out theft, blatant of money that any/all workers paid into.

I wonder if the millions of Dems who opted not to vote realize that they enabled this insane fakakta Congress that is about to strip life saving care from tens of millions of Americans? Probably nah….why would they care about that…. Unless….they turn out to be one of those Americans.🤔

I want a COVID booster. Why? So I can avoid getting sick, be able to remain at work and care for patients, and not get other people sick, including the elderly and immunocompromised, who could die from COVID. You know, that thing where you do something bc you care about people besides yourself.
