RFK must go. Please contact your congresspeople about this. Ask them why RFK was allowed to unilaterally fire a senate appointee because she contacted senators – the appropriate oversight body – after the HHS secretary demanded that she break the law & betray Americans’ public health.

When Obama said Fox had "an agenda", the right flipped out. He was shredding the 1st Amendment. And other news organizations came to Fox's defense! Now, the right is praising Trump's threats against the free press and encouraging action be taken against those that do not bend the knee.

"A system that brutalized, raped, and killed human beings while stealing their freedom and humanity is rotten to its core. That enslaved people were able to find resilience and build lives is a testament to their courage and spirit. There is no “other side” to the story of slavery." Dan Rather

Trump sending the National Guard to D.C. to "stop crime," after refusing to send them to the Capitol to stop crimes being committed by the J6 insurrectionists, is peak hypocrisy. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Texas hasn't received FEMA aid yet. The callous disregard from officials is shocking. I hope Texans remember this in 2026. Ultimately, it seems the priority is enriching the wealthy using funds collected from struggling individuals.

Two things Trump doesn't want you talking about: 1. Why he's refusing to release the Epstein Files. 2. Why he prevents everyone from sharing information about the "assassination attempt" in Butler. Our duty as responsible citizens and defenders of democracy...is to keep talking about it.

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Millions get their news from NPR and PBS every day. For emergency alerts, disaster updates, the weather and other reliable news. Stations in rural areas, which rely twice as much on federal funding, could close. Defunding this basic service would put millions in the dark.

The Supreme Court said it was unlawful for the Biden administration to forgive student loans because it lacked congressional authority but has no problem with the Trump administration gutting the entire Department of Education without congressional approval. This is a lawless court.

Quick question. There are still almost as many troops in LA right now as there were at the end of Afghanistan. Why exactly? Also where are the mass deportations of white illegals, like from Russia?

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The House will pass this bill. It will take a little time and a little drama, but there’s no question about it. MAGA is a cult and will *always* act as such. It’s not a political movement; it’s not a political party; it’s not a political platform. It’s a cult. And on many days, a ruthless mafia.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode deficits 3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat.
