Everyone carries it within them: this idea of another life, another self. Perhaps it is the art that never flowed from the hand, the wanderlust that was never satisfied, the love that was never confessed. And as the years pass, they remain like unplayed melodies in the depths of the soul.

Rep. Jason Crow: “The purge of senior officers at DOD is deeply troubling, but purging JAG officers worries me the most. “JAG officers interpret law for our commanders. They help determine what's lawful and constitutional. “Replacing these military lawyers with Trump loyalists is so dangerous.”

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

Most of us know Musk is despicable. Before I saw this list I had already heard about most on this list. When people show you who they are, believe them. There’s not any exceptions.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

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.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

1 in 5 Americans DEPEND on Medicaid. I depend on the program as do millions of others of people with disabilities, seniors, children, low-income and many vulnerable populations. Any major cuts to the program would be devastating and catastrophic. www.kff.org/medicaid/iss...

Say it loud for the morons in the back looking at you MSM

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chimed in online after Canada beat the United States in the 4 Nations Face-Off final. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Trump’s mass firings could leave federal government with ‘monumental’ bill. Astounding purge will cost government, after workers with positive reviews cut due to ‘poor performance’. It could wrack up a “monumental” bill and is breaking the law by firing government workers on spurious grounds.

This.

This is intimidation intended to stifle speech.

I just wanna congratulate @meidastouch.com for beating Joe Rogan, and thank them for recommending my Substack. Indie media FTW! Check theirs out here: www.meidasplus.com

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 addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

Remember when team USA beat the Soviets in the 80s? Canada just had that moment and the US were the Soviets this time. Congratulations Canada 🍁

Guess I’ve been living under a rock—had no idea Tiger Woods went full MAGA.

F*ck Dictators

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

trump wants to be able to tell the USPS not to deliver ballots to blue states www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
