Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

"To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed...The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…"

I cannot imagine a world without Sesame Street. Grover. Bert. Ernie. Big Bird. Oscar. Snuffleupagus. Cookie Monster. The Count. Harry. Telly. I think for many of us these are characters who exist somewhere between fantasy and reality, as they were there for us daily as we formed our sense of self.

As you read the House Ethics report about Gaetz, always keep in mind that Donald Trump believed that Gaetz was the most qualified person in America to be the chief law enforcement official in the United States.

The billionaires want you all to be divided to keep the heat off of them. This nightmare will all be over on the day that working people unite and realize that’s it’s YOU vs. THEM.

Whoa—the Montana Supreme Court holds that its state constitution protects the right to "a stable climate system," and strikes down a law that barred consideration of greenhouse gas emissions when permitting new fossil fuel projects. juddocumentservice.mt.gov/getDocByCTra...

If we did a fraction of the research into our candidates for elected office as we did for our fantasy football teams, we would have the government we desperately need.

Handing over the Whitehouse to a man who's told the world he'll be a dictator on day one, is in no way preserving, protecting, or defending the Country or US Constitution – it will be actively participating in their destruction. Enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Now.

The projections for the next Canadian election are very frightening. Poilievre’s Conservative Party has a right wing philosophy which will definitely take us backwards & remove so many programs protecting the average citizen. Here we go Canada. It’s our turn to fight for our liberties and freedoms.

Regimes seem solid until they are not. Every resistance act matters because often regimes are crumbling from within from corruption and yet good at hiding that fact. cc: Russia

Garcia: The fact he is handing over Elon Musk the keys to the federal government to destroy our institutions with a fake department.. shows how irresponsible he is with the seriousness of the moment. He is not focused on helping people, but taking away things they depend on.
