Who has things hanging in their house that do not reflect their values? Who has things hanging in their office that do not reflect their values? Congressman Taylor from Ohio is full of shit.

Sunny Hostin to Cheryl Hines: "The problem is that your husband is the least qualified HHS head that we've had in history. I think that's very dangerous. He has spread a lot of misinformation, chaos, and confusion."

There is no place for partisan political videos from the govt being blasted in airports attacking the opposition party. That is what authoritarian regimes do. This should not be a partisan issue - it is fundamentally un-American.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid," JD Vance. We checked.

By scanning public records and media reports, Mother Jones determined the ages of eight of the 11 participants in the abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered on Tuesday: They appear to range from 24 to 35.

Among the Education Department’s new appointees is Lindsey Burke, the lead author of Project 2025’s education section.

She envisions dramatic enrollment declines for public schools: “We’re going to have a lot of empty school buildings.”

This Saturday, I’ll be one voice among many. But together, we’ll be loud. We’ll be clear. We’ll be American. And we’ll be marching not against our country—but for it.

Save democracy. No kings.

I’m marching because I want my daughters to grow up in a country where they are not questioned for how they look. I’m marching because I believe in free speech, a free press, and the right to protest. I’m marching because I refuse to let fear, division, and authoritarianism define us.

Make your plans for #NoKings. This Saturday, October 18th.
Free speech is action. Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country.
I'll be there. Please join in.

In June, Leah and I closed out the flagship No Kings rally in Philly by leading 100,000 people to recite the Pledge of Allegiance while waving American flags. It's unintentionally revealing how much this regime fears this imagery.

Mike Johnson is enabling a hostile takeover of the US govt by a criminal enterprise of white supremacists, Christian nationalists, and techno-fascist billionaires who aim to replace democracy with a dictatorship led by Epstein’s closest coconspirator.

For the love of America, we must protest this.
