PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

"I never could have imagined, none of us could, that the government of the United States of America would openly ally itself with a fascist political party." Actually I spent years doing everything I could to prevent this exact outcome, pal

Tired: conservatives hate Kendrick because they're racist Wired: conservatives hate Kendrick because they feel attacked by his anti-pedophile stance

Ironic that DEI is Latin for ‘of God’.

I'm never going to forgive the people and politicians who sat silently while Trump sicced the entire federal government against trans people.

“A populist public health agenda could unite left and right by addressing the everyday needs of ordinary Americans while combating the alienating elitism and shameless profiteering upon which our current health systems are built.” unity doesn’t sell though, does it

It is really important the the 'A' for accessibility has been added to their undo 'DEI' notices. This administration believe people with disabilities are un worthy of employment. All of this is horrific.

These are the good guys supporting DEI. Reward them with your business. Costco Meijer Kroger Giant Grocery Ben & Jerry’s Ulta, Macy’s Old Navy Nordstrom’s TJ Maxx GoTo Foods ( Moe’s Southwest Grill, Mcalister’s, Auntie Anne’s, Jamba, Cinnabon…) Dollar Tree Walgreens Wegmans

Margaret Hassan (D-NH) too and 5 Dems didn’t vote. this doesn’t bode well for the Kash Patel vote this week

we calling it a Friday Night Massacre yet?

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Also yes project 2025 was always the plan.

the only correct emotion too

and me ✊

If you are a lawyer, you advocate to save democracy. If you are an elected rep you use legislative power to protect your country. If you are a journalist you write truth in the face of threats to democracy. If you are a faith leader, you do this. Everyone has a role. Stand upright in yours.

*sigh* remember how the Walz family exchanged many hand-to-heart gestures from stage to crowd. none could be mistaken for… that. I really miss what could have been.

This is five alarm fire bad

Why don’t you speculate on what this means jfc

ProPublica reporters are dedicated to investigating government agencies and federal policy. Concerned public servants are some of our most important sources. We appreciate the difficult situations people weigh as they decide whether to reach out. Here's how to securely get in touch.

rather ironically, reading this gave me chills. zero containment of the fire plus zero control over the narrative is a lethal combination 💔

And when this happens, you know Trump will try to take credit for it🙄 So let me say this for posterity: Thank you VP KAMALA HARRIS, PRESIDENT BIDEN, and all the good people at the CFPB for moving to free MILLIONS from the burden of medical debt on their credit reports.

This is, or should be, a big deal -- Ann Telnaes, an absolute legend, quitting WaPo due to censorship of a cartoon criticizing billionaires anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

One doctor’s recommendation to deny a 43-year-woman coverage “contained errors on practically every aspect” of her condition, the Labor Department said in 2012. United and other insurers continued to hire the doctor over the next decade. propub.li/3BQjJ1e

This story gets to many of the realities we're seeing in Asheville post-Helene. Those lineworkers who risked their lives working 18-hour days to restore power to the area? The ones officials and business owners hailed as heroes? Hundreds of them weren't paid a dime, so they went on strike.

House Republicans should ask Santa for a spine for Christmas. Elon Musk isn't even eligible to become president, but now he's pulling the House GOP's strings and pushing them to throw out a clean, BIPARTISAN, spending deal and shut the government down on Christmas.

going on the 2025 vision board

South Carolina Republicans set to reintroduce a bill allowing the death penalty for abortions. The proposed bill seeks to amend the state’s criminal code to widen the definition of “person” to include “an unborn child at any stage of development.” www.huffpost.com/entry/south-...

This is why I subscribe to ProPublica. They do actual journalism that makes a difference

to be clear, we will action accounts based on account actions. clearly.

Wait, what?! Is nothing sacred?????

Seems like maybe there should be laws preventing this.

Sotomayor scoffs at suggestion that democratic process will protect trans people: "When you’re 1% of the population or less, it's very hard to see how the democratic process will protect you." Adds: There are many more Black people/women, & the dem process "didn't protect them for whole centuries"
