Mitch McConnell is retiring after 40 years of working hard to make Kentucky one of the poorest, most under-educated, and unhealthy states in the US.

“Who will stand up to the American madman?” …is a top election issue in every allied nation right now. Germany, Canada and now Australia, have all elected people who will fight back against Trump’s chaos. We should do the same.

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning: “Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer." [applause] 🙏🏼

"America is ours. It doesn't belong to whoever is in the White House. It belongs to you. It belongs to us. It belongs to we, the people." -- Vice President Kamala Harris

This is one of the best ads I have ever seen and I can’t believe I missed it

Go Mark!!!

I’m 46 but I had my shingrix shot because I’m worried about what RFK jr is going to do with vaccines. Shingles is a preventable illness like measles. We are so lucky to have these vaccines! I for one will not forgo them because the guy who runs government health services has a 🐛 in his 🧠

This is the official White House account.

"Trump has always been an ignoramus who masks his intellectual shortcomings with bombast and declarations of his own brilliance, but his rambling nonsensical responses in these latest interviews should set off alarms." — @playtyperguy.com

And Here We Are All At Once….

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

NYC turned OUT for May Day. We are the many.

No words for this level of gaslighting. And “We The People” will have the honor of paying $30M to the family of this Insurrectionist. But the message is loud and clear. Trump rewards loyalty…especially if it’s with someone else’s money.

Trump’s string of losses on EO’s targeting law firms continues unbroken: “Using the powers of the fed’l govt to target lawyers for their representation of clients..in an overt attempt to suppress & punish certain viewpoints..is contrary to the Constitution” www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-e...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Supreme Court’s newest member, denounced on Thursday what she described as "relentless attacks" on judges, and an environment of harassment that "ultimately risks undermining our Constitution and the rule of law."

Inject the second paragraph of this footnote directly into my veins. (And then send it to the nine firms that have bent the knee.)

Beware this Account. Toxic and unproductive in any way.

JUST IN: Judge Beryl Howell SLAMS Trump’s Executive Order (EO) targeting law firm, Perkins Coie. She is blocking executive branch agencies from enforcing this unconstitutional EO. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

I'm with Mark Hamill, who's with us? 🤔

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court permanently BLOCKS Trump executive order targeting my former law firm, Perkins Coie. Executive Order 14230, entitled “Addressing Risks from Perkins Coie LLP,” violates the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and is therefore null and void

The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. If you're a vet at risk of foreclosure, we want to hear your story.

Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."

Chutzpah is lying to dodge the draft and then asking the Army to celebrate your damn birthday.

Here are the links to folks who are tracking grant cancellations at both NIH and NSF censoring science. This team is tracking terminations to organize and advocate. Please report your terminated grants: NIH: forms.gle/J2znQ7y7YpeP... NSF: airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... w/ @noamross.net

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES purge lawsuit brought by rightwing group in Pennsylvania. A victory for our clients and the voters of Pennsylvania! www.democracydocket.com/cases/pennsy...

Meanwhile, in Canada…

“We do not have a king in the U.S. We do not support fascism, we do not support racism. What we do every time that we are attacked is we stand up in Chicago & we fight back!” ~Cook County Commissioner Alma Anaya, Chicago May Day rally, Union Park #MayDay Read about May Day in @chicagotribune.com:

Let Freedom Ring!!🗽

US opposition politician @sanders.senate.gov gathered between 5 to 10 thousand people in Philadelphia to celebrate May Day and oppose the Trump regime. #3E #EndImpunity #MayDay

He’s about as qualified to be Pope as he is to be the US President. 😳 So…”Go MAGA?”

Donold is demanding an investigation into his 39% approval rating. I agree, there's no way it's actually that high.

I literally just laughed out loud…🤣

I thought this was the Secretary of State’s job. I guess now the Sec of Defense is running our foreign policy using tweet threats.

"Paramount Set to Pay Mobster After Shakedown for Protection Money."

Thou shalt not photoshop gang tattoos onto people’s knuckles in a vain attempt to justify thy evil.

Enjoy America! 🇺🇸

Good Night World

😂😂😂 …and still weighing in at 225

Tim Apple is not gonna be happy.

The jokes write themselves on this one…

Who’s gonna tell him he has shrinkage?

Catholic Cardinal says the next pope must move against homosexuals because church doctrine has to be based on what Jesus said. Only problem? Jesus never said one single word about homosexuality. Or abortion. www.joemygod.com/2025/04/card...

Has someone checked to see if he’s alert and oriented to name, location and date? Does he know who the President is?

Situational hypocrisy? 😂
