Call it “paying taxes” and the billionaire class will burn the Constitution & tear down the White House.

But call it a “gift” earmarked for the military or building a national ballroom, & these hErOIc PAtriOtS will stroke a check of any size.

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

I am genuinely searching everywhere for the evidence that Mamdani believes Israel should not exist as a Jewish state - cannot find it. This is serious malpractice.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 11h

In the most Jewish city in America, debates over antisemitism have exploded in the final days of the mayoral race as New Yorkers appear close to electing Zohran Mamdani — a 34-year-old Muslim who does not believe Israel should exist as a Jewish state.

Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral candidacy stirs Jews in New York – and beyond

* Economy is tanking
* Inflation rising
* Millions of families losing their SNAP benefits
* Health care premiums doubling
* Illegal attacks on boats in the Caribbean
* ICE agents running amok
* National Guard illegally deployed to "war-torn" cities

So, of course the ballroom is top priority

Yesterday, while 7 million friends joined #NoKings protests, I celebrated the return of the king — King (Chinook) Salmon, that is.

Tribes & their allies brought down 4 #Klamath dams. Now these fish have returned to the upper river where they haven’t been seen in over 100 years.

C’mon Pete.

Speaker Johnson can no longer “harm his integrity.” He has none. He will be ridiculed for the rest of time as a weak, subservient, traitorous, enabler who destroyed our system of government to please his lord (and I don’t mean Jesus).

Congress is qualified to mandate its medical “opinions” on women’s health. But other than *that*, it’s between her and her doctor.

It’s simple: The #GOP hates otters 🦦 and dolphins 🐬 and whales 🐋. And birds 🦢. And they hate fish 🐟 🐟 🐟.

They hate people too; especially children (who happen to love wild animals).

Weird that I'm now seeing your post here after I just read about the bill to end the 1970s marine mammal legislation to protect these beautiful creatures.

Seriously wondering WTF Cote is doing walking down Market Street “late at night” 5 nights a week. Does he live there? It’s a retail/financial district — nothing is open “late at night,” 5 nights a week.

I’m old enough to remember when the terms “nerd” and “dork” referred to people who were obsessed with accurate information on a given topic.

Now it refers to fascist tech bros punching down. Language changes, I guess…

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.
