Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

Neil Young is boomer

so represents Gen X (Trump supporting) bashing by Joe Rogan of Boomer (anti-Trump, antifa) Neil Young

25 years ago, I was hospitalized for unexplained blood loss, an outlying complication of ME/CFS. Took 2 units of blood, over 2 days in the hospital to save me. Was dangerous at 45 y.o. Prolly much more serious at 70.

Dammit.

Holy crap. This is terrible.

The article states it's "not related to the current U.S. government shutdown". But of course it is: they are both connected by the GOP destroying everything good about this country from the top down and the bottom up.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

The main goal now is to end the Trump regime so freedom can prevail. But we must also prepare for what comes next. There should be no sanctuary for ICE, but many others will awaken from the lies, lost & ashamed. We’ll need a path to bring them back, a way to rebuild trust, truth, and shared humanity
