Trump’s everlasting peace in the Middle East held for 24 hours, so now he has to defend Hamas killing people to keep his Nobel Prize hopes alive.

Saw someone wearing this shirt at the #NYCC on Sunday but didn't have the chance to ask them what it was - then I got a text from @higherheights.bsky.social saying it's part of a new #ProtectBlackWomen campaign! secure.actblue.com/donate/prote...

Pritzker: “The tables will turn one day. These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration."

I am a talker. I’m not especially outgoing, but I like chopping it up with people in my neighborhood. And then I feel weird because I’m like this?

Occasionally feel crazy for believing in objective reality and I wish the world wasn’t like this.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

People think politics is corrupt… all of it. And to fix it, we need to rebuild trust.

That’s why I’m running on:

- Banning stock trading by members of Congress
- Overturning Citizens United
- And not taking a dime of corporate PAC $$

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

Oh, you’re afraid the dude with a brown wife and three brown children is going to be more effective in guiding a white supremacist movement than the current guy?

Don’t disagree but these cunts didn’t even pay attention to that part. A good amount will feign regret as well.

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

Was really looking forward to the extra money when I pay off my car in 10 months, but it looks like that’ll be eaten up by health insurance. Fuck Trump and the GOP.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

My maternal gma literally just died from pancreatic cancer just like D’Angelo and I am a caretaker for multiple relatives so I’m not letting ignorance slide man, gwan.

Black men and women, REGULARLY go get checked and argue doctors DOWN. Get second, third and fourth opinions. You know your body.

I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?

Tweet from Pam Bondi:

Today following outreach from
@thejusticedept
, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target
@ICEgov
agents in Chicago.

The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.
