Welch: Mike Johnson-If he's a big Christian, he should be fighting for the marginalized, fighting for the poor. But instead he weaponizes his faith to lure voters in and then dicks him over every chance he gets.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

The fishing joke kills….just ask the Trinidadian dudes murdered yesterday to serve as a punchline for oligarchs laughter. WH is like a comedy club from hell (or a bro comic festival in KSA). This country is sh*t.

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

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.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

A bombshell report detailing racist and antisemitic texts shared among Young Republicans lifted the veil on how the next generation of GOP leaders talk when they think no one is watching.

Unsurprisingly, prominent conservatives defended the participants.
