CDC scientists receive a heroes welcome after walking out today.
did the director resign? last I checked, she had not resigned. I love how the press is doing cheeto's work for him though.
has the current director left? no? then why is this even news? this is actual fake news.
disagree. these two have been some of the only people laser focused on this issue for a long time now. they have literally been the boots on the ground. www.npr.org/2024/01/28/1...

62 years ago, Dr. King led the March on Washington with giants like John Lewis, Mahalia Jackson, A. Philip Randolph, and so many others. If youāve ever wondered what youād be doing during the Civil Rights Movement, this is your test. (1/2)
useless idiot
one of my all-time favorite covers!
Senator Reverend Warnock, please know most of us already know this and are instead looking for some robust and meaningful communication from the left. Most of us are tired of the relentless marketing on social media, tv and our mailboxes from the right. Please ramp up messaging before it's too late.
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
ā.. democracy often erodes slowly at first .. But with each concession, autocrats become bolder.. and reversal becomes harder. Responses that, early on, can feel pragmaticāwaiting it out, remaining silent, cutting a dealāonly embolden ..ā @dziblatt.bsky.social www.foreignaffairs.com/germany/hitl...
but hey, our economy is on the up and up ay? yeah right.
no lies detected
I'd like to believe they'll actually stand their ground but there are just so many pussies nowadays unwilling to fight the legal battles. I'll be happy if I'm wrong.
just block these trolls and move on. they are just here to sow discord. don't let them.
If the Democratic Party intends to win this fight, it must stop functioning solely as a party & instead step into its moment in history: to lead a pro-democracy movement capable of confronting this authoritarian threat. https://www.lincolnsquare.media/p/stand-up-america-the-time-for-a-pro?r=2lckc
these people can never just talk plainly and speak the truth. it's republicans. republicans are to blame for all of this.
YES! We need to STOP buying into this broken narrative. It's complete horseshit.
110% this. It NEVER had anything to do with anything rational. It was all about bigotry in its various forms (e.g., homophobia, sexism, racism, etc.), which converged under a hateful person.
I love how so many sane people keep adding to the "broken" framing that the right keeps selling. Biden left us with the best recovery in the world. We were doing just fucking fine. Yes, it was not perfect and we have things to improve, but we were FAR from broken. Stop. Just fucking stop.
I agree with you. This is a hot garbage take and in no way true.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends weāve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.
āBolder,ā huh? How about ācrazier?ā GTFOH with that
Fonda Brewer is one of the most respected community leaders in Michigan, with a legacy of service to Delta Township, through the NAACP, across Lansing, and in countless efforts to strengthen our schools and neighborhoods. Iām grateful for her support, and together, weāll flip MI-07!
Ashley Babbit dishonored her service by committing insurrection against her country. While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadnāt happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.
BREAKING: "Big Balls" ā who worked tech ops for Elon Musk's DOGE project ā is under FBI investigation for federal data theft. š³ This is the same kid who was linked to a cybercrime ring earlier this year. Elon hired him anyway. Prosecute them BOTH.
Our President keeps insisting prices are going to drop by 1400%, 1000%, or some other number thatās mathematically impossible. That he canāt do simple math isnāt the problem, itās that heās lying to America while things are getting more expensive because of his bad choices.
true. I often wonder what ACTUAL grievances these people have that would justify killing other human beings.
beat me to it
this breaks my heart into a million pieces! how can we do this to one another?!!!
they donāt have any. they just want to bitch and sow discord while our democracy burns, bunch of dumbasses.
just block these stupid people, thatās what I do. the republic is burning under a dictator and these dumbos want to shit on someone fighting for them. unreal.
I'm curious about the 8% in this shit sandwich
šļø NEW: 22 new TV projects are going to be filmed in California via our newly expanded tax credit. This means an estimated $1.1 billion in additional economic activity and 6,500 cast/crew jobs across the state. The Golden State remains the beating heart of film and television.
keep going! do not let up!
I type this out every single day: we are living in the dumbest imaginable timeline ever.
what are you on about you stupid mofo?! go away
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
^^block this idiot^^
lies lies and more lies
I am heartbroken and furious over the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Kids should be learning, laughing, making friends ā not running for their lives on the very first week of school. How many more children will live this nightmare before our elected leaders do something?
Itās the first week of school for manyāa time that should be filled with joy, not grief. Those children in Minnesota were at Mass when their lives were stolen. My heart goes out to all impacted by this act of violence. Gun violence has no place in our schools, our churches, or our communities.

š¤¬
So very sorry for your loss. I hope we come together soon and address gun violence in the U.S.
Minnesota is heartbroken. From the officers responding, to the clergy and teachers providing comfort, to the hospital staff saving lives, we will get through this together. Hug your kids close.
look how EVERYTHING is described in terms of politics now, "...threatening to become a liability for Republicans heading into upcoming elections." WHO FUCKING CARES?! Address the costs of electricity to make it affordable. how is this partisan??
Extortionist-in-Chief
that last one is the one currently driving me nuts! can we stop with the self-immolation and doom and gloom already? democrats need a change at the top, yes. but, they are fighting back and gaining steam. stop it already!!

look at these suckers

Trumpās immigration raids are destroying our agricultural workforce ā inflating costs, creating worker shortages, and destroying communities. On California Farmworker Day, we honor the hardworking men and women who power our economy. We will not stop defending your rights.
I disagree with you. There are many examples of courage among Democrats. You choose to focus on the negative.
Does anyone know what happened between May and August this year?
found the dunce
it's so gross watching grown ass people grovel like this!
I often wonder if these people really hear themselves. They sound so brainwashed. It's not even funny, it's sad to watch.
Happy 90th Birthday @uaw.org Thank you for always fighting for the middle class in MI-07 and around the country!
they should pull up stakes. literally the ONLY "beach place" I visited that wasn't koo koo for cocoa puffs was Pensacola. I believe Escambia County turned blue this past November and it shows, business is good, people are generally nice and there are "no nazi" stickers posted everywhere.
was just there, you're dodging a bullet. what I saw: - "For Sale" signs on nearly every beach house - confederate flags everywhere - a copy of mein kampf near the entrance to a local book store - locals treated us like they didn't want us there NEVER going back, it's become a complete shit hole
"...bypassing an American driver." <== why is this statement necessary?
not to mention the absolutely asinine anti-hate ad he cut with Tom Brady for the Super Bowl last year. absolute fucking clown he's become. www.nj.com/eagles/2025/...
mhmm, riiiiiight right
Here is the growing list of countries choosing to pause mail deliveries to the U.S. because of Trump's tariff chaos. Did anyone vote in 2024 to become the new Hermit Kingdom? Austria Australia Denmark France Germany India Italy Japan New Zealand Singapore Spain South Korea Sweden Thailand
They knew. They are complicit!!
For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governorāand of course, itās the first Black woman, Lisa Cook. Trumpās message is clear: when Black women rise, heāll do anything to push us down. Newsflash: weāre not going anywhere.
This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.
a national sales tax? it wouldāve been nice to know thatās what tariffs amounted to beforehand! oh waitā¦ insidetrade.com/daily-news/h...
Democrats need to flood the zone as well. Iām tired of seeing ten flyers, one commercial to every hundred rethuglican adverts, drives me batty!!
the folks in D.C. should rip it down!
Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states
I'm out of here for the night, but I'll end with this. GOVERNOR LISA COOK IS AN EXCEPTIONAL ECONOMIST, EDUCATOR, POLICY LEADER, AND HUMAN BEING. LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT HER LEGACY WILL OUT LIVE THEIRS. THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT.
this is heart breaking to watch
He cannot fire her. Fuck him.
would be awesome but I would be S-H-O-C-K-E-D if that actually happened

Do not come, Donald Trump. You are neither wanted nor needed here in Illinois.

We had (mostly) perfect weather to spend some time with the MSU Dems at Sparticipation. Students are stepping up, and theyāll be a driving force in flipping MI-07!
it really is a beautiful city with lovely communities
look, you're making no sense and at this point and I'm not willing to debate with you further if you're just trolling.
yes, i'm aware of Camille Zapata, I know who she is. and she works for Newsom. so what? what's your point?
I do not care about him running for any office. What about this do you not get? I don't care. I do care that he's fighting for Democracy. That's what really matters right now.
it's sounds ridiculous to say that he's "successfully taking the fight..." to cheeto because of how stupid it all looks. it's all ridiculous. that's how dumb our politics has become. he's meeting fire with fire where it's currently needed and it's working, even if it's childish.
you're making zero sense and yet here you are, strutting around like you made a valid point. final thought: feel free to abandon the only people fighting for you but when you wake up in a dictatorship and are being wiped off the face of the earth, literally, you have nobody to blame but yourself.
I don't care if he does or does not win any primary or contest for political office. All I know is that he's successfully taking the fight to cheeto and that's what's needed right now.
there is NO equality in a dictatorship. you say this is not a 'purity test' but that's exactly what you're applying to Cali's Governor.
the Constitution means NOTHING to the people currently in power. the only major party who has brought LGBTQ+ issues to the table are Democrats. they still believe in defending Democracy and I'm not going "scorched earth" on my own party because of one issue when the republic hangs in the balance.
Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."
I would love that actually. But again, I need to back politicians that believe in our Democratic Republic, not fascists or collaborators and those politicians are routinely flawed, that's just human nature. Nobody is perfect.
we can't guarantee anything for anyone. that's just life. I DO back trans people, 110%. but, I also know it's not healthy to base my support on one issue. no, I don't agree with Newsom's view on the trans community but at least he's fighting back to restore Democracy. I can support that.
The Trans community can and will have a voice at the table of Democracy to debate their interests but if there is no Democracy, then what? This fascist regime wants to erase that community entirely. So, for now, I back Newsom in order to preserve our Democratic Republic.
thanks for reporting on that AP, yup, very helpful. hey, do us all a favor and start asking real questions and reporting real facts instead of providing him cover at every turn because you're only making things worse for everyone by doing the opposite.

āTheyāre going to kill me here,ā Neri Alvarado thought. Alvarado was allegedly targeted by the Trump administration because of his tattoo of an autism awareness ribbon. Now, free from El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison, Alvarado wants the world to know what they lived through.
these numbers are dog shit and mean nothing
stfu and go away, you're part of the problem
