Sick puppy, but we knew that already.

This is the one thing we can all agree on. POTHOLES!!!! FIX THEM!!!

When the upper courts find Judge Dugan was illegally arrested, can we then issue an arrest warrant for Bondi and Patel?

This is it folks. It has gone too far. When judges are being arrested and warrants are being waived, we are living in an lawless society.

Newsom is on the wrong track. I couldn't agree more. This is the time to cling to our values. There is no middle ground with the people who want a dictatorship. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

A newly revealed document shows Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration diverted $10 million in Medicaid dollars to a charity controlled by his wife.

Who could have possibly seen this coming?

If you propose to have Venezuela release people so that you can release people, that means you can just release people. The pride and stupidity is mind-numbing.

Trump signs and flags have been taken down in rural California. I may be wrong, but I hope people are waking up.

I heard @garrykasparov.bsky.social speak last night about strategies for ending this nightmare. He and many others are advocating for abandoning people to avoid “culture wars.” What? No, we will never truly win if we don’t stand up for what’s right.

I nearly broke my phone by dropping it after seeing this hot mess. I am ashamed and embarrassed by what this country has become -- and my tax dollars are paying for this crap. Lord, each day is more unbelievable. covid.gov

This is brilliant. Every American needs to watch this. It's so clear that we don't understand our own system of government where we have THREE COEQUAL branches. #noking

And the arrogance of Trump, when he name calls and says that he'll fix everything in 24 hours because its so easy for him. Why do people continue to believe his shit?

This is all so much worse than I expected. The lawlessness is beyond belief.

Food and beverage giant PepsiCo has agreed to meet this week with civil rights advocates from the National Action Network to discuss the company’s recent decision to roll back some of its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

“…with liberty and justice for all” With the level of injustice that I’m witnessing in my country, it’s difficult to focus. I try to compartmentalize my thoughts, but in truth, my heart is aching. A family has lost a father and a husband: Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Bring him home.

Are you saying SCOTUS planned to endanger us with their ruling, or are you lying? You can’t both be right.

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech. The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

I really believed we could never do this. I am sick to my stomach.

Also, cutting services that people rely on is not "savings."

McGovern: "How is any company supposed to forecast for their future, build a plant, hire workers, if they have no idea what the hell this president is gonna do in his next tweet? ... I need a neck brace to be able to get through all this."

WE ARE NOT AT WAR This administration is illegally wielding war powers while Congress and the Supreme Court do nothing.

#ProudBlue #MomSky This former DOJ Employee testified today & discusses witness intimidation by the DOJ. They were sending armed guards to her house on Friday night to intimidate her. They were trying to stop her from testifying.

This is the rewrite of our history on The Underground Railroad. "This is a story of ordinary men and women coming together in harmony..." Original: web.archive.org/web/20250131... Rewrite: www.nps.gov/subjects/und...

WTF is going on in this country?

#HandsOff San Francisco

“Kennedy’s team requested that Marks turn over data on cases of brain swelling and deaths caused by the measles vaccine—data that Marks said doesn’t exist because there have been no such confirmed cases in the U.S.” www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Liar Greg Abbott says he has refused to set a special election to fill the seat of recently diseased Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner because he says Harris County doesn’t do their elections properly.

None of this needed to happen. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Bingo

Almost half of the country’s health insurance now rests in the hands of a man who once sold miracle pills — with zero proof they worked — on daytime TV.

Testimony in Congress today from the top US General in Europe, Gen. Christopher Cavoli: "Russia poses an enduring threat to the United States, our NATO Allies, and global security."

General Haugh has served our country in uniform, with honor and distinction, for more than 30 years. At a time when the United States is facing unprecedented cyber threats, as the Salt Typhoon cyberattack from China has so clearly underscored, how does firing him make Americans any safer?

Tomorrow is a day of national protest across the country. Congress will not stop this dumb autocrat’s mad actions. It’s up to us now. Hit the streets, people.

Just saw who he fired. We are fucked.

HB may be a lost cause, but WTF is going on in Aliso Viejo? We've got to tamp that down now.

Just spoke at the Aliso Viejo city council meeting (one of their council members proposed a pride flag ban like what happened in HB), and I tried to make it very clear that you do not want to go down the path HB is currently on, because it’s not good for business, and it’s not good for your city.

Why are we allowing masked ICE agents?

LIHEAP—that's the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program—helps tens of thousands of Arizonans with their AC bills in the hot summer months. Gutting this program doesn't just mean higher utility bills—it puts lives at risk.

Musk made a mistake because he blurts out stupid things. Those stupid things are getting repeated. Stop it.

Please remember these people. Never forget their arrogance and cruelty. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6_s...

"If America hasn't broken your heart, you don't love her enough." - @booker.senate.gov 😭😭😭 I feel this part of Senator Booker's speech in my gut.

A lot has happened, but we can't forget. apnews.com/article/trum...

And it can come out in the strangest ways. I was attacked for making what I thought was a normal comment: "Did you see that move, 'Blackfish?' It was very sad."

"Dangerously ignorant."

These twenty-somethings lack the experience to temper their arrogance. I want to see an assessment from someone who survived Y2K. Otherwise, we are so screwed.

Above all else, and it's a lot, this scares the hell out of me. apnews.com/article/tuft...
