Our president. G7 was too tough on him.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

It's official: The White House wants to cut funding for the 988 LGBTQ+ suicide and crisis hotline for kids. Make no mistake: this cruelty could cost young lives. We need to keep fighting back.

Imagine being homeschooled and controlled so tightly that you're not allowed to learn about people or think thoughts outside of the control of your religious fundamentalist parents. Jenny Donnelly and Lesley Russell advocate for brainwashing kids so they can't leave their religion.

lol! Let's do it!

Does it seem weird that the Speaker of the house is going to Elon Musk, a private citizen, to negotiate the spending bill with him?

Donald Trump just fulfilled another Project 2025 promise. He pulled guidance that protected doctors who provide abortions to save their patients’ lives. Let me be clear that in Illinois, you remain protected and can receive reproductive health care without fear of retribution.

"We cannot build bananas in America" is an all timer

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

I miss Obama 💙

Yes! Yes!!

"I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom." - Abraham Lincoln

Shift the balance of power. Don’t buy their cars. Don’t watch their movies. Don’t read their books. Don’t buy their merch. Don’t invest in their crypto. Don’t use their social media. Don’t visit their theme parks. Don’t dress as their characters. Don’t wear their hats. Don’t spread their propaganda.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave everything in service to this country. As we pause to reflect, let’s remember: the best way to honor the fallen is to stand up for the living—by ensuring our veterans & their families get the care, respect, & resources they need to thrive.

On May 1, 1865, in Charleston, South Carolina, a large group of recently freed Black Americans organized a ceremony to honor the fallen Union soldiers, many of whom had been imprisoned in a Confederate prison camp in the city. This event is widely considered to be the origin of Memorial Day.

Kermit gives a better commencement speech than Trump.

Even for atheists, this message from Pope Leo XIV is understandable and deserving of repetition: You cannot follow both Christ and the cruelty of kings. A leader who mocks the weak, exalts himself, and preys on the innocent is not sent by God. He is sent to test you. And many are failing.

Nothing to see here. Totally normal. Move along, folks.

“Holy rusted metal, Batman!"

Temu is showing tariff costs. Why isnt Amazon? If tariffs are designed to push people to buy American, the cost comparison would be valuable. So why does Amazon care more about Trump's opinion than their customers' opinions and information needs?

Stand strong, Fed Chair Powell! We support you!

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Loved your show last night!
