Dunkin Donuts cracks me up as the Boston staple. Their coffee is terrible 8/10 and the 2/10 it's serviceable is probably because I'm desperate. That said, they're HUGELY responsible for the failure of a min wage increase in MA so if you can get coffee from a locally owned coffee shop instead? Do.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong. Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

I called Canadian Premiers Doug Ford and Wab Kinew today as we try to find a way through this unnecessary and costly trade war. While the President may not value the partnerships that contribute billions of dollars to our economy, Minnesota does.

Dear Mr. Jack Daniels, Canada is your biggest market. Maybe you should explain this to your legislators who threaten us. We will take all the steps necessary to defend our nation from a hostile foreign power including filling the shelves with great Canadian whiskey. www.bbc.com/news/article...

President Zelenskyy has also arrived at the Special European Council meeting in Brussels.

What a front cover...

Alina Habbard posted: NOTHING CAN STOP THIS MAN FROM FIGHTING FOR HIS COUNTRY. David Simon had a succinct 2-word response: “Bone spurs.”

Well said!

Social Security isn't sending checks to dead people over 120. Tariffs aren't beautiful, but they are raising prices on groceries, beer, and cars. Elon Musk is taking away veterans' healthcare and childcare for families. Presidents are supposed to be truth-tellers, not liars.

Vladimir Putin is loving every minute of this.

This really tells you all you need to know. They claim to support vets, and they know how to play the game with messaging and symbolism to exploit their patriotism, but every once in a while the mask slips and you see that they really think we’re just suckers and losers. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Dude says we have to take care of our law enforcement FUCK YOU!!! YOU ASSHOLE YOU PARDONED OUR ATTACKERS

BREAKING: Speaker Emerita Pelosi throws a dig at Elon Musk: “Well, I would hope that the President would engage in telling the truth (tonight)— not calling Medicare a scam or a Ponzi scheme as he has done and his Co-president has done.”

China responds to Trump's trade war

Great artwork! Wefail/artist

Trump is great at 1 thing; regurgitating lies so often that the uneducated take it as fact. Thank you @sanders.senate.gov for not showing any clips of Trump youtu.be/hQjKGKUKpQc?...

Rep. Melanie Stansbury 🏆

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

FACT: Immigrants are our nation's strength! Immigrants make up 17% of all health care workers, 28.2% of physicians, 27% of direct care workers, and a staggering 38% of home health aides. #ProtectImmigrantFamilies #MOMSky

Rep. Al Green, speaking (yelling) truth to power. We all need to channel our inner Al Green.

Al Green after he was THROWN out of chambers: “I was making it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid” "It is the best way to get it across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility. " #SOTU

Look. If you're gonna respond to every news story with "so what," or "it won't matter," just GTFO.

Rep. Al Green is a goddamn hero.

Let this sink in.

We will not normalize…

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

Joe Gallina: If you could tell Donald Trump anything tonight, what would you tell him? Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Grow a spine and stop being Putin’s hoe.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

The beatings will continue until morale improves and such…

They try to silence us, hold us back, and strip away our rights, but women always fight back. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re doubling down, because when women lead, we all move forward.

BREAKING: The S&P 500 has now completely erased all gains since the election, wiping out $3.4 trillion in market value. Make America great again!

“Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.”

Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

This is not a drill - make sure you have "something" saved. Your SS check is not sure anymore.

I swear to God every woman knows this exchange

Trudeau: We’re probably going to keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans, we're not booing you. We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us.  But we're Canadian. We're going to fight. And we're going to win.

Willette’s incredible story has inspired so many, including MK and me.   They’ve consistently stood up for compassion and reason in our work with the formerly incarcerated, and I’m very proud to stand with them to deliver on that work.

It’s all performance art now

That’s a male lion.

While it's fun to watch Tesla stock take a nose dive, keep in mind that Elon doesn't give a shit. He's about to make billions in government contracts and kickbacks.

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy. SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.
