Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.
Billionaire Trump donor Elon Musk owns X. Billionaire Trump ally Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post. With this acquisition, both CNN and CBS News would be owned by billionaire Trump donor Larry Ellison. Oligarchs’ monopoly over our media is spiraling out of control. —Robert Reich
The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
WWJD? Not what Kilmeade said on Foxnews
Shame on you Mike Lee. Who is “they?” One 22yr old white young man from Utah is accused of killing Charlie Kirk. Who the hell is “they?” Shame on you. You are purposely inciting hate & division. Hiding behind “they.” Shame on you.
In a shocking on-air moment, a “Fox and Friends” co-host said homeless people suffering from mental health issues who refuse help should be killed
In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.
Odd, I keep hearing that the same person who paid for buses to transport domestic terrorists to Washington, DC, on January 6, 2021, to threaten the lives of police officers, members of Congress, and the vice president was a paragon of "civility." Girl, please.
States like Mass. with strict gun laws have lower gun death rate. National average is 13.7 deaths per 100,000 people. In Mass., it's only 3.7 deaths per 100,000. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/12/m...
Racial profiling, court-approved. The Supreme Court just made your 4th Amendment rights depend on what you look like. Trump’s police state is here, courtesy of SCOTUS. #Velshi
Never thought I’d see MSNBC kowtowing to the right. Matt Dowd was one of their best!
What possible reason could she give for doing such a thing?!?
Important to remember that Charters are financed with taxpayer dollars.
And for now, the Supreme Court has signed off on such dubious practices without an explanation. Every American, including those who want tougher enforcement of our immigration laws, should demand that ICE does its job in a way that protects the rights of all Americans.
More of this.
Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's blowing up the economy. He hasn't done squat to help the working class. The Epstein scandal haunts him. He is a weak and failing president with his back against the wall. Keep up the pressure.
But yet old Mitch bent his knee..
Don't just read the headline. Take a moment to watch the video. It's short.
This 100%.
Good question. He is among his peers of enablers with no consequences for his actions. He is above the law on every level. Even as someone who raped little girls. He is disgusting, and so are his followers.
Very alarming how bold Putin has become!
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.
/7 SCOTUS, the Federalist Society, the entire academic and intellectual infrastructure that brought us here: they're nothing but pretentious Trumpers. At least the guy in the MAGA hat and "fuck your feelings" t-shirt is honest about who he is. These people are not.
Great news. Let's do this everywhere. www.krqe.com/news/politic...
"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."
"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor
Why would any foreign country invest in a nation that did this?
Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year. Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?
And there it is. Scam and grift revealed. Watch who gets rich off this. Interested also to see how legacy media covers this, which has been putrid so far.
Everything I’ve wanted to say!! Thank you!
Dr. Oz's new plan to root out so-called Medicare 'waste' is actually a recipe for disaster. A pilot program in six states will require prior approval for procedures under traditional Medicare plans.
Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.
@allchronology.com We now live in a country where: – The president is a felon. – The DHS chief kills puppies. – The HHS chief is an antivax ex-addict. – The education secretary can’t read. – The defense secretary is a drunk. – The DNI answers to Moscow. WTF happened?
SNAP was made permanent nearly 60 years ago today and it's helped millions of families put food on the table. But Republicans would rather see billionaires put more money in the bank—so they gutted SNAP to fund tax cuts they don’t need. They're betraying middle-class Americans.
I just visited Naval Station Great Lakes that Trump is letting DHS use as they prepare to invade Chicago. The Navy cooperated and took the time to answer our questions. Trump’s DHS locked the doors and fled. That’s not how you act when you’re doing something legal.
I’m just a huge fan of AOC. This is just a superb interrogation!
Excellent episode of #SistersinLaw podcast this week covering that very same topic.
I think he’s welcoming the discussion on Gaza.
New ads going up across Washington, D.C.
“It is not a radical idea to say that every man, woman and child in America can have a decent standard of living.”
Wow. I feel sorry for the other 49 states that don't have someone like Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock @warnock.senate.gov to represent them. He and Senator John Ossof @ossoff.senate.gov are truly The. Best. of Georgia's moral leadership in government.
Do they expect any sane person to believe that claim?!? Johnson’s lost it! 🤪
I still can’t believe he really made that claim. Insane!
When it comes to adding jobs, you want the numbers to go up, which is what they did under Joe Biden. Trump became POTUS & they go down. When it comes to the unemployment rate you want numbers to stay low. Unemployment under Biden were historically low. Trump becomes president & the line goes up.
Nothing says, "Hey international companies, bring your manufacturing to the US" like arresting 475 workers at a Hyundai (70% of whom are South Korean).
Tell me, O muse, of any first grade child who can not tell you that batteries store energy?
Beyond time to impeach!
Beyond the time to impeach!
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
“Lincoln Memorial Weigh-ins” + “Oval Office walkout” is bonkers Just what the founders had in mind 😕 🇺🇸 Straight-up desecration
Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
Umm … it’s pretty stupid.
With any luck RFK JR will have a breakdown from this position. Everyone needs to continue going at him like this. He’s a danger to society.
They are privatizing Medicare, which means they will profit off denial of coverage. Say no to the GOP or face loss of insurance.
RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
Live shot of the #SistersInLaw trying to digest all the legal news that happened this week
Paul Offit, a RFK Jr. critic who co-invented a rotavirus vaccine that has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, was blocked from participating in the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee so that RFK Jr. can continue to kill millions of people.
I await their client list.
Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
No kidding, everything posted on Bluesky is preaching to the choir.
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:
Impeachment, coupled with a shadow cabinet, is a brilliant strategy. I wonder what's the argument is against it and why Democrats aren't pursuing this idea.
FOX BUSINESS: “My goodness. $5 BILLION. Eye-popping numbers… crypto-friendly legislation coming from the president who is in turn cashing in on crypto. A conflict of interest.” Even Fox sees how insanely corrupt Trump’s crypto grift is. (H/T @ab21.bsky.social )
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Fact: Vaccines do not cause autism. Fact: Lack of vaccines causes deaths.
In a win for voters, a Utah judge struck down the state’s GOP-drawn 2021 congressional map, ruling it unconstitutional for diluting the voting power of non-Republican voters. The map must now be redrawn in order to facilitate fairer elections in 2026.
Congress slashed funding for public schools, increased funding for charters: click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.nT...
Trump has no new ideas. He just wants to undo anything Biden did. So pathetic.
Happy Labor Day!
In 7 months, Trump has taken the world's most powerful nation and turned it into a train wreck, inviting both our allies and our adversaries to reshape the world based on our irrelevance.
Donald Trump incited a violent coup to overthrow the 2020 election and hold onto power. It will never be ok that he was not held accountable, including banning him from ever again holding public office.
