Think of any important subject in the news today (human rights, climate change, foreign policy, immigration). Then think of the most sensible and compassionate and intelligent and mature course of action to address that subject.

Yep. For-profit health insurance makes no sense. Health care is like any other public infrastructure investment: there is no immediate ROI but it's necessary to our economy and our nation to have healthy citizens and highway without potholes.

The only thing standing between our democracy and Trump's autocratic overreach is the judicial system, and whistleblowers like Reuveni -- not necessarily a saint by any means -- are leading the charge.

No doubt a lot of this is going straight to the top, and I doubt our SCOTUS has the balls, but 🤞

Mike Johnson's such a pusillanimous little man. Ugh, this crop of career Republicans are the most cowardly and stupid lot we've had in awhile.

I can't believe the "OMG you're soooo gay!" insult is a convincing argument past 6th grade.

Goes to show that White Supremacy is a potent maturation inhibiting drug.

We need to pass an Amendment that any President or Congressperson must be endorsed by a cat and a dog in order to hold office.

Stay safe my fellow No Kings protestors. I suspect we might have “guests” in our midst, hellbent on Northwoods-ing us into some kind of martial law scenario. Don’t overreact. Don’t get mad. Protect your kids and the vulnerable and GTFO if it gets bad.

Unprecedented times, what what.
