No, this is the most ashamed you've felt as an American *so far*.

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

Amazing that the same book has been used by priests and nuns to explain their moral imperative to die protecting socialists being hunted by CIA backed militias and also by dudes in McMansions who think the creator of the universe considers it a priority to beat neurodivergent 8 year olds

PLEASE do not give your unlocked phone to a cop under any circumstances jesus christ

It’s #Caturday…

Donald Trump’s petty threats are beneath the Office of the President. Governor Janet Mills embodies servant leadership. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I've never laughed so hard while 3 grown men tried to subdue and tie up a tiny woman. She beat those guys like she'd been trained in The Red Room. #anora www.imdb.com/title/tt2860...

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.

Fuck it, Pritzker 2028: www.audacy.com/wbbm780/news...

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Pritzker stepping into the gap left by Schumer and Jeffries.

This should concern you more than any executive order so far. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/fe...

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

i still think one of the oddest political developments in my lifetime was trump's disdain for troops causing the party to largely jettison decades of troop worshipping lip service

Protests getting started. #NotMyPresidentsDay #3E

Protests beget more protests as people see that its ok to express frustration openly.

In response to Trump’s assertion, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” we say: The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants.

Yeah, the citizenship test here was a lot different from what I'd been expecting

Just a reminder for when you are watching THE GOOD PLACE, The Committee is meant to be the Democrats. "We have rules, procedures. We're the good guys. We can't just 'do' stuff."

Conservatives used to say that wanted to make the government small enough to drown in the bathtub, but they ended up making it stupid enough to play in traffic

So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!

Shonda Rhimes resigns from Kennedy Center board 🔥 www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

"I need a peppermint tea. And some snacks." I am definitely going to try that line the next time I have a cat in my lap & I want my husband to get me something. www.imdb.com/title/tt3042...

In case this won't be reported, Senate Dems are holding the floor for 30 hours to try to stall the RFK Vote! Here's the press release from Wyden's office.

Empowered by executive order to make “large-scale” cuts to the federal workforce, DOGE announces that it will be eliminating duplicative presidents.

All members of Congress swore allegiance to the Constitution. They didn't ask just Democrats to defend America against all enemies. The house is on fire, y'all. I'll do everything I can to extinguish that flame, but I am begging my Republican colleagues to remember their oath.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

Trump’s closing message is a full blown hate campaign against black and brown people. Historians will look back in astonishment that this terrifying reality wasn’t the subject of wall to wall coverage and commentary in weeks leading up to this election. He’s not hiding anything.

Me watching a new #Severance episode

Severance is on its way to being the best television show of all time

An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois.

Sold!

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!
