Meiselas: Right now, this idea of the bully has been glorified, and we have to disabuse people of that notion and say, “Nah, that’s weakness.” Stop blaming your problems marginalized groups.

We have to proudly support communities that have been under attack—’cause they’re human beings, dammit.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

If the Dems cave and let them gut the ACA, people will STILL have to choose between healthcare and food. So they might as well keep refusing to vote for their "clean" CR.

When they’re racist: they’re just kids.

When our kids are targeted: they’re adults.

WILD story. A DHS officer shot at a man he thought was fleeing (a judge dismissed all charges). Bullets went into the driver's side window, through his jacket collar, and into the empty passenger seat. An MPD cop on the scene says he was ordered not to put it in the police report.

A D.C. task force shot at a driver. It’s not in the police report.

Neither D.C. police nor the Department of Homeland Security have explained why the Homeland Security agent fired his weapon.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?

Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.

They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

It appears that ICE agents are instructed to specifically identify and shoot in the face priests and clergymen who appear in protests. This is the fifth such incident reported so far.

A cornfield in the middle of nowhere, western Iowa.

The front of the picture is a corn field that is drying out causing a mixture of brown's and greens. In the center of the photo is an old blue two story building with a faded red roof. The sky is light blue with faint clouds.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.
