That line, “there’s more that unites us than divides us,” can sound like a cliché. But right now, it hits.

All of us want affordable healthcare. Nobody can afford premiums that triple. Nobody wants to see service members standing in food pantry lines.

Party divides completely fade on these issues.

They hate her because she’s Black.
They hate her because she’s a woman.
They hate her because her husband is Jewish.
And they hate her because deep down, they know she’s right.

Texas has replaced some of the guardsmen they recently sent to Chicago "for not being 'in compliance' with its validation process."

"The move came amid criticism on social media over pictures that showed some of the Guard members appearing to be overweight..."

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

This is great. Normally, with U.S. press, when a Republican lies, they go, "well, we'll have to leave it there because I want to move on."

In this case, however, Vance lies and Stephanopoulos is immediately, "into the trebuchet, my dude."

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

47 is lost in his mind. Miller runs the administration. But he is a little man no one respects. Vance is on a perpetual vacation, if you need to know how weak this all is, just watch as they implode. Follow and keep the pressure on.

“Comely Reader! I suggest we all start wearing the paper clip. Subtler than a red hat, more powerful as a CONNECTION,” @ejeancarroll.bsky.social
wrote, explaining they were also worn during World War II as a sign of resistance against the Nazis.

#PaperClipCampaign

Join Us: Paper Clip Protest
Let's all start wearing paper clips.
During World War Il, people wore paper clips as a powerful symbol of resistance against the Nazis.
Norwegian teachers and students attached them to their lapels, symbolizing solidarity that connected them just like paper clips hold papers together.
Today, we wear the paper clip for the same purpose. It acts as a quiet yet strong signal to others that we are united, that we oppose the takeover of our country by a petty tyrant, and that we are standing firm against the destruction of our democracy.
Wherever you go, when you see a paper clip on someone's lapel, you'll know you have an ally.
