IMO nothing Mitch Mc Connell has ever said or done was for any purpose other than to promote himself, the Republican Party elite and other good ole southern boys. I wish him no ill will but he really should resign.

Swear in new Arizona Rep Adelita Grijalva. She is not receiving the same treatment as Republican special election Representatives. She will be the 218th signature to release the Epstein files.

People have no idea of the dangers of the firings at the CDC.

The people who work there care about your health.

We are at risk, because the republicans refused to TALK.

“The Death of Public Health”

Jonas Salk saved millions with a polio vaccine. He gave it away to help humanity. Today, venal and yes, evil billionaires—Koch to Musk to Peter Thiel—are fully behind destroying American society for profit. They want you poor, sick, and desperate. We must stop them.

The Death of Public Health

Another Friday night massacre, but this time it's not just an essential federal public health agency that will die

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

hard concept to embrace when you've been in a very bad mood for the last 40 years (thanks Shirley)....but nothing else works on the MAGAt crowd so I'm gonna find a way to be joyful and in their face at the same time.

Being hopeful isn’t about avoiding the world’s hard realities – it’s an act of resistance

Hope demands that we shift the narrative away from the sense that we are helpless in the face of forces beyond our control

eventually it will come back around, Trump probably won't be around long enough to get back what he put out...at least that's the outcome I'd like to see, preferably before he kicks the bucket.

Stephen Miller is a weak lying douchebag Nat-C authoritarian who despises the US Constitution, and his dangerous statement that a POTUS has “plenary authority” tells any constitutionally-bound American he is just that. Our Constitution clearly defines the powers of the President.

and the people who support him? Pam Bondi's, Kristi Noem's, Tom Homan's, Marco Rubio's, Stephen Miller's, Russel Vought's, Kash Patel's and does anyone know where Tulsi Gabbard is? Cause somebody should be watching her and the three trump boys Eric, Donny, Jared, cause those four are up to no good.
