Every day, the regime steps over another line in the sand.

I've become a huge Justin Wolfers fan over the last month or so. I disagree with him here, though. Our president said this was a HUGE deal. So I think I'll trust my president over some economist.

GATES: I’d “love for him [Musk] to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut” American aid. @mediaitenews.bsky.social www.mediaite.com/news/bill-ga...

It’s true. My fam uses Public Square to know where NOT to shop. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

Our existence as a free nation is on the line. Literally. We are in the battle of our lifetime. Staying silent isn’t an option. #Resist #Rebel #Reform #Rebuild I won’t be silent. Will you? #SheShe

Every crime is represented in Scum-A-Lardo ……

Yes. This part.

I believe that "Real ID" will end up being required to travel anywhere in the USA. "Papers, old man, hurry up, where are your papers?"

Read it and weep. Then get up and fight. "When citizens must think twice about criticizing or opposing the government because they could credibly face government retribution, they no longer live in a full democracy. By that measure, America has crossed the line into competitive authoritarianism."

Good thing he decorated the Oval Office with all that tacky gold shit from China before the tariffs kicked in.

I wonder if the changes to Fetterman are the result of the stroke he suffered?

Excellent Idea! Much Closer To The Way It Once Was…

🔥 Senator @ossoff.bsky.social: “Who out there is sitting at home demanding we shut down cancer & Alzheimer’s research? We’re going to pay for this for a century. Irreversible damage has been done. It’s an outrage.” On Trump, DOGE, & the GOP’s budget cuts (to make way for tax cuts for the rich)

Rep. Parkinson (D-Memphis) & Sen. Oliver (D-Nashville) react…

Corruption in Broad daylight....

Looting America: The more money they save, the more they can steal. It's simple: he relocates the money, gives contracts to his partners, and gets a generous kickback.

No, Merrick Garland is not “water under the bridge.” We are currently having to deal with multiple corrupt and chargeable men and women in politics because of his failure.

This is just wrong on BOTH sides of the isle!!

Framing a data-mining initiative under the guise of autism research, while ignoring scientific consensus, risks weaponizing public health for ideological ends. Pseudo-scientific agendas undermine trust, exploit vulnerable populations, and erode the integrity of medical institutions.

No sh*t, that's where my head is at right now.

A sea of white trash.

Every state should adopt this protection.

900,000 And Russia Calls That Winning? youtu.be/lvVI64jVXuI?...

BREAKING: Denmark says it will summon the US ambassador to respond to reports that US intelligence was ordered to step up espionage in Greenland. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen told Ritzau: “It worries me a lot, because we don’t spy between friends.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s attempt to legitimize discredited autism theories under federal authority is a profound abuse of institutional power. It weaponizes state resources to revive falsehoods, betraying both scientific integrity and the communities most in need of support.

This planet is run by crazy people. Remember what they have to do to get where they are. Their perspective is so narrow, so...brief. A few years. In the best of them a few decades. They care only about the time they are in power. - Carl Sagan, Contact

100 men vs. 1 gorilla? How about the working class against the oligarchy? The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

Port of LA Exec Director reporting 1/3 reduced volume in containers entering the port. So… 1/3 less truck drivers needed 1/3 less warehousing needed 1/3 less diesel fuel purchased 1/3 less state fuel tax collected 1/3 less inventory processing 1/3 less state sales tax collected Tariffs bad, ok.

For 66 days the Netanyahu government has blocked ALL food and aid from going into Gaza. Now we're told it plans to seize and reoccupy huge parts of Gaza, as it pushes for Trump's plan to force 2 million Palestinians to leave. That would be ethnic cleansing by another name. We can’t stand for it.

Deporting migrants to Libya, where torture, slavery, and arbitrary detention prevail, is a flagrant violation of international law. The administration’s plan mirrors a deliberate abandonment of human rights, outsourcing cruelty to a system that dehumanizes with impunity.

Resistance comes in all forms

NEW: Minnesota’s graduation rate just reached the highest level on record. Two years ago, we made the single-largest investment in public schools in state history.   Today, we’re seeing the results.

Chicago is on to something.

Busting up big corporations.  Tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

We have a moral imperative to address climate change, which will have enormous impacts on the future we leave behind for our kids and beyond. Today, at the @naturalresources.bsky.social hearing, I spoke out on the GOP's giveaway to Big Oil, the most sweeping attack on our environment in history.

We can throw away $120,000,000 flipping fighter jets into the sea, but can’t afford to give the pilots healthcare when they retire.

Representative Ted Lieu for the win. #USDemocracy

Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic. “The Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrants—many of whom have helped build this country—is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”
