I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

They are actively sabotaging us. Especially RFK. What he is doing (and what Trump and Kushner did 1st year of Covid) is crimes against humanity. They are killing part of a population by withholding public healthcare & modern medical knowledge. Doctors letting pregnant people die is also criminal.

A mayoral candidate saying maybe the city should cover the cost of bus rides gets the full socialism panic treatment before he even tries it.
A sitting president taking billions of dollars worth of shares in private companies gets “I must say, a tad unusual” after it’s been going for nearly a year.

If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water.
Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state.
It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!

By reclassifying all f those degrees professions, this administration is basically insuring that those who are obligated by law to report child abuse are reduced in significant numbers for the foreseeable future. THEY ARE ANNOUNCING THEY WILL ABUSE KIDS.

How Larry Summers’s Power Delayed the Reckoning Over His Epstein Ties
The former Treasury Secretary and Harvard president’s enormous network and clout kept him immune from past Jeffrey Epstein revelations. But this time was just too much.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

Maybe he meant he wants attractive corpses when the planes fall out of the sky.
I keep thinking how absurd it is with the administration’s polling in the gutter that the Secretary of Transportation went to the public to announce that, “travelers should really clean themselves up a bit.”
Legendary stuff.

I was proud to join with my Democratic colleagues this morning to introduce the Clean Water for Wisconsin legislative package.
Whether it’s PFAS, lead, or any other contaminant - we need to make sure every Wisconsinite has access to clean, safe drinking water.

Impeach Trump by whatever means are required.
BREAKING: Senator @ChrisMurphyCT on Trump's call for executions:
“The President of the United States just called for members of Congress to be executed. If you are a person of influence in this country, maybe it’s time to pick a f**king side!”
