Among the reasons Americans risked it all to get rid of a tyrannical king:
“He has obstructed the Admin of Justice…made Judges dependent on his Will…sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people…kept among us Standing Armies w/o legislatures’ Consent” www.americaamerica.news/p/what-we-sh...

The Trump White House: where loyalty and cruelty get you the job, but idiocy and sheer incompetence let you keep it.

A tweet by user “sam” responding to Sam Stein. Sam writes: “the incompetence of it all is just stunning. this administration is locked in a perpetual battle between stupid and evil.” The quoted tweet from Sam Stein reads: “Can confirm. Some CDC experts who were RIFed on Friday have already had their firings rescinded by the administration.”

Welcome to upside down America. There’s a convicted felon in the White House dishing out pardons to sex offenders, billion dollar Medicare cheaters and criminals for a bribe payment while simultaneously stripping hardworking people of their healthcare.

This is a fantastic statement from the governor of Washington, but I can't get past the fact that the man who's standing up to the right-wing anti-immigrant machine is named ...

Bob Ferguson?

Seriously?

Does he have a daughter named Willa?

An administration who doesn't abide by the courts, the laws written by Congress, or the Constitution is illegitimate. A Congress who idly sits by allowing it to happen is complicit. A country who refuses to stand for it are patriots. They know they are failing. What we have now is an illusion.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care
