The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. 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.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond. Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

Caroline Kennedy calls RFK Jr. a 'predator’. “Bobby is addicted to attention and power,” - “Bobby preys on the desperation of parents of sick children — vaccinating his own kids while building a following by hypocritically discouraging other parents from vaccinating theirs.”

Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again

“I have the right to do anything I want to do—I’m the president of the United States,” says the lawless and unfettered Trump musing about being a dictator. This is what John Roberts, the Supreme Court’s supermajority and over 77 million Americans have done to our beloved country.

That window of time before Republicans took over the house would've been a great time to pass the voting rights act before going on vacation. It felt urgent at that time (to me anyway )when it was more possible. Now we'll have to hope we have a legitimate election in order to get anything done.

Our default assumption has to be that the FBI raid of John Bolton’s house is an act of retribution. If they find classified documents and charge him with a felony, it does remind that Trump should have been convicted for the same.
