Lewis Carroll’s 'Alice in Wonderland' illustration by Finnish artist and Moomins creator, author artist Tove Jansson #womensart

The Saudis just executed a blogger for promoting the idea that women should be able to drive (and other radical notions). No human rights for women in THAT Middle East country. No democracy, either. If you’re not fighting for women’s rights, you’re not supporting democracy either.

A few scenes from #NoKings St. Louis County. Over 7,000 lining at least a mile of road!

1/7 We are in propaganda war, & we are not the audience.The goal isn’t to impress fellow activists. It’s to reach the voter who catches 15 seconds of TV at gas station. A TikTok scroll on break. A headline in passing. What do they see? Fox’s fear, or our truth? #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

If that's how they treat a U.S. Senator, NONE of us are safe, let alone who they are brutally targeting. This is fascism.

Padilla identified himself. They want you to be intimidated.

Rather than apologizing and trying to resolve a problem she helped create, Kristi Noem is now lying about what happened and making it worse. This is unacceptable behavior from a Cabinet official. Noem clearly does not have the credibility or integrity to continue serving.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., speaks out after Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed and handcuffed during a DHS press conference. In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said law enforcement “acted appropriately.”

“Only voters in Sweden have stronger anti-Trump views than Australians, who believe the president is unable to understand complex problems, not qualified to hold his job, and is unlikely to deal with major issues such as the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.”

The Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This 147-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both Democracy and Personal Liberty.

Remember when there was a REAL insurrection...and Trump did NOTHING?

Cyber resilience is not a luxury for modern nations; it’s a strategic necessity. Which makes President Trump’s recent decision to gut the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) even more dangerous.

Saving you all a click: Ro Khanna (of course) and Liam Kerr (who?). That's it. The others named in the story all ranged from "meh" to "nope."

➡️Trump is silencing VA scientists—blocking them from publishing research that exposes how his cuts are hurting Veterans. This isn’t about policy. It’s about power, control, and hiding the damage he’s doing. MORE: www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

A new report from @warren.senate.gov details Elon Musk’s reign of corruption in Washington, itemizing 130 dodgy dealings in 130 days. EXCLUSIVE ⤵️

Republicans snuck an AI regulation BAN into the “Big Beautiful Bill.” That means companies like Real Page can use AI to get around price fixing laws and RAISE YOUR RENT. BUT this policy violates the Senate's budget rules. I'm calling foul — and fighting back to reject it.

dangit!

Here’s what will happen to our National Parks if Trump’s budget passes. Did you know America’s national parks actually generate more income than they cost to operate? Yet under Trump’s proposed 2026 budget, the National Park Service (NPS) would face devastating cuts:

Rep. Seth Moulton: "Biden expanded Veterans care more than any president in a generation." Trump and Musk are tearing it down. Veterans know who had our back—and who’s taking a chainsaw to our care. We won’t forget.

"The corporate and billionaire-owned media serve up jokey TACO memes, but deliver little comprehensive analysis of Trump’s underlying instability, contradictory impulses, and reversals on policy matters ranging from tariffs to Ukraine, all aided and abetted by hand-picked stooges."

Six Nobel laureate economists said a massive budget bill passed by House lawmakers last month and backed by President Trump would weaken key safety-net programs while greatly lifting the federal debt.

If Trump and Republicans pass their tax bill, the richest 1% of Americans will get $121 BILLION in tax breaks next year. Does anyone actually think the richest 1% need a nine-figure tax break? And are we really going to take food away from hungry kids to do it?

The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

Trump’s pardons now have now cost crime victims and tax payers over 1.3 Billion dollars. Yes, that’s over a BILLION. This is NOT normal. President Biden never did this.

Coming soon to America. Thanks to Trump’s partnership with Palantir. Do you get it now?

And this is exactly why Congress is refusing to stop Palantir from harvesting Americans' personal data.

The price-hiking effects of Trump’s tariffs will offset most of the tax cuts the bottom 80% of Americans will get from the Republican bill. The richest 20% will get a massive tax break and won't even notice the tariffs. Have a nice day!

Sometimes I can’t believe that MASH was as good as I remember. Then I see clips and realize it was better.

Pope Leo XIV will be celebrating a mass in Chicago on the same day as Trump’s multi-million tax paid birthday military parade. Chicago is expecting at least 1 million people to show up for the event. If you can make it to the Pope’s mass then do it, make it the biggest event of the day.

🚨 DOGE is gutting the VA right in front of us. Thousands of jobs gone. Mental health care slashed. Claims delayed. Vets left waiting—or left behind. This isn’t a budget decision. It’s a betrayal of the people who served. If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.
