This administration seems unmoved by art.

There is no Shakespeare in their language, no Baldwin in their conscience, no Springsteen on their radios, no Swift in their playlists.

And when leaders feel nothing for beauty, it’s the soul of a nation that suffers.

This is a good news. I hope Newark airport does the same thing. As much as I now loathe flying, I never imagined the worst part of the trip would be being forced to watch this crap on the TV screens. They’ve never had the slightest respect for people who did not vote for them.

Nothing stops authoritarians in their tracks like organized people power — and we're organizing it in communities throughout the country. #NoKings

Mockler: I think we need to spend more time talking about phase two and the actual peace deal, rather than some Nobel peace prize, when that hasn't been achieved yet.

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

Clever tactic! Hopefully this strategy will be deployed all over the country so we can identify who needs to be investigated & indicted later.

You know they’re worried about this weekend’s turnout at the No Kings rally when they’re already making comments about it. Who’s ready for Saturday?

“The Republicans control the White House and Congress. The Supreme Court is as good as a rubber stamp on Trump’s agenda. But somehow, the don’t-look-at-me party in power is blaming everyone but themselves for the shutdown.”

How two lawsuits could expand Citizens United, eliminate campaign donations restrictions, and turn America into a kleptocracy — and how this nightmare can be stopped.

The Right's Secret Plan to Help Billionaires Buy Elections

J.D. Vance and other MAGA interests are working to get the Supreme Court to end restrictions on campaign-spending limits.

What we’re witnessing isn’t policy gone wrong; it’s people participating in cruelty and justifying it.

It’s not just the harm itself; it’s the apathy and the approval that make it feel unbearable.

It’s hard to process how so many can look at suffering and see order instead of injustice.

"Most Americans probably don’t have a detailed grasp of what’s happening with ACA subsidies right now, but once people start getting letters notifying them of how much their premiums are going up, it will become a much bigger issue."

Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare

And it becomes more obvious every time they talk about it.
