Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

He’s weakening our country. He’s weakening our economy. He’s weakening our alliances. He’s weakening the free world. He’s weakening our influence around the world. And Putin keeps smiling every single day.

This is one of the most heartfelt moments I’ve seen on TV in ages. Watch Katie Phang and Rep. Jasmine Crockett dissolve into tears as Phang bids farewell during one of her final episodes of her show.

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Science doesn’t improve by cutting Black, Hispanic, and women experts. But that’s exactly what happened—38 out of 43 removed from NIH boards were just that. And they wonder why trust in institutions is fading.

DOGE is shaping up to be the biggest failure of all time. All pain. No gain. Shrouded in secrecy, lies, and false projections. A scam on the American people.

Every now and then it hits me that this isn’t just about 1 inhuman act or another, but a bigger picture. That the entire democratic experiment in America is falling apart in front of our eyes. It’s historic in that sense. Which then makes me wonder why all media stories aren’t framed this way.

Attention: Musk’s staffers are now seeking access to a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants. DOGE was never about saving the U.S. money—it’s about building a government-run machine to weaponize personal data.

Lisa Murkowski: “We are all afraid.” “Retaliation is real”. Oh, really? GOP senators helped create this monster and now they’re too chickenshit to stop him.

Everyone should ask Rep. Nancy Mace if she supports Trump's destructive tariffs... or if she supports the thousands of Boeing employees based in her district hanging in the balance? They deserve to know, their livelihoods are on the line. Does she care? Call her to ask for yourself: (202) 225-3176
