A few days ago I shared a video of Mercedes Wells, a black woman in labour who had been kicked out of the hospital & gave birth roadside.

The doctor and nurse who kicked her out have been fired.

Black women have the highest maternal mortality in the country, and misogynoir plays a big role.

A lot of disinformation is circulating about what Senators/Representatives Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander, and Houlahan actually said. Here is the transcript. It contains no accusation that the President issued unlawful orders, no call to disobey lawful orders, and no advocacy of mutiny.

In Rhode Island, ICE arrested an intern who worked for a court, and then a judge intervened to say they had the wrong person.

All leading to a scene where ICE agents surrounded the judge's car and "threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply." www.wfla.com/news/judge-i...

In 11 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene will turn 62 and start living with a basic income floor for the rest of her life of about $1,230 a month, thanks to having served 5 years in Congress.

5 years ago, her net worth was around $700k. It's now around $22 million.

Just some facts to know.

To the men and women who wear the uniform...my brothers and sisters in arms...I know the message from those six Democratic lawmakers wasn’t just heard...it resonated. The nation will look to you to act with honor. I have full confidence you’ll rise to the moment.

I get that MTG’s pension vests Jan 3, 2026. But that pension pales in comparison to the money she could grift by staying in her job until her term is up. I can’t figure out why she’s leaving a year early. She’s worth $25M. The pension is peanuts.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.

This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

I think it should be a mandatory job requirement that the chair of the DNC be social media savvy with a strong presence on camera.

Ken Martin doesn’t have those skills and doesn’t seem to want to invest in fixing that.

EVERY special election should be all over social media. It is a massive

But, then this may apply.
I just realized that Majorie Taylor Greene likely picked January 5th because it would (barely) make her eligible for a congressional pension.

A House Member has to win three consecutive terms and serve at least five years. January 3rd marks her fifth year in Congress.

Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Good, god.
This is rape and murder.

It’s not a “prank”.

It’s sexual assault and violence that claimed the life of a child.

Stop trying to normalize rape.

Stop trying to make it palatable.

It will never be palatable!

Q: “The DOJ statement earlier this year saying that the Epstein files would not be released mentioned the fact that the review of the documents and the evidence did not suggest that any additional investigation of third parties was warranted. What changed since that you launched this investigation?”
