Hello. This is your friendly reminder to tax the churches.

This man has no business running our healthcare systems.

I think the MAGA movement, is a perfect case study in the effects of greed, power and fame. vs morality and better judgement.

I keep thinking about those congresspeople kneeling in the rotunda wearing kente cloth scarves, very performative. There has been no loud, visible, unified support for Sarah McBride from the democrats. It’s a real disgrace. That is your colleague! They are bullying her in your faces. And silence!

Striking shift in GOP donor base - top 400 donors now provide over 60% of GOP funds, nearly double 2020 levels. Both parties are far too reliant on mega-donors. But the GOP is now on another level. (1/n)

If you think that the United States has an unhoused crisis now, just wait until Donald Trump kills Social Security and Medicare.

Appearing on a Christian nationalist podcast last night, Pete Hegseth said he's creating a system of "classical Christian schools" to provide recruits for an underground army that will eventually launch an "educational insurgency" across the nation. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

When I think about Joe & Mika appeasing Trump so they can maintain their comfy lives, I think about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss enduring years of harassment for simply doing their jobs. So when Joe defends it by saying people need to live in the real world, he should respectfully go screw himself.

Just a reminder that in 2020, Dr. Oz suggested that opening schools during COVID would "only cost us 2-3% in terms of total mortality," and that "any life is a life lost but... that might be a tradeoff some folks would consider."

This is… uncomfortable.

Ron is correct. If you are terrified of the man you are supposed to be aggressively covering, retire. That television slot can be taken by someone with a spine.

Try these things today: -Surround yourself with people who push you to be better. -Find & then make friends with those who want to pursue higher goals. -Seek out others who exhibit positive energy. -Make friends with those who bring out the best in you…and others.

It was not unanimous. It was 4-3. You can read the dissent: www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/u...

His insane nominations... His promises to deploy the military on home soil... His threats to go after anyone who opposes him... Now, there are messages going out to specific communities threatening deportation and "re-education camps". It's by design. His objective is to fill you with fear ...

Authoritarian says what?

Joe Scarborough and Mika from Morning Joe, their ratings plummeting, made a pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago because they decided if you can't beat him, grovel for access and help normalize him AGAIN. STOP 👏 WATCHING👏 MORNING👏 JOE👏

Donald Trump confirmed this morning that he plans to declare a national emergency and use military assets for a mass deportation program.

Mandate? Trump is now under 50% in the popular vote with his margin ranking 44th out of 51 elections since 1824. 4 Democrats won Senate seats in states Trump carried—compared to zero in 16 and 20. GOP poised for its smallest House majority since the U.S. had 50 states. - CNN’s Harry Enten reports

Soon to be Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth complained on Fox that veterans who use the benefits they've earned are dependent on the government and lack "personal integrity". This is what every Vet who wore their MAGA hats to the VA hospital voted for.
