I got bad news for Trump about every election going forward from now until the end of time

“TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,” according to Pollsters.

On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.”

Folks keep asking me who I’ll vote for in 2028. The answer is whichever democrat wins the primaries. Hope that clears it up.

Could anything be more poetic justice than Trump losing the Nobel Peace Prize to a woman and a Latina to boot?

90-year-old Arnold Abbott was arrested twice in a week in Fort Lauderdale for feeding the homeless, jailed for compassion under a restrictive city ordinance. Public outrage erupted over criminalizing charity while he bravely refused to stop helping those in need.

Since men have done such a shit job of running this country for the first 250 years, I suggest letting women run it for the next 250 years. At the end of their tenure we can decide who’s better at this.

one of the weird things about the last year's worth of news is finding out that wealthy people all hang out with each other. i have like two friends and decline most social invitations. how are these people hanging out in groups of a thousand?

John Lewis walked, bled, and lived for justice.

Five years since his passing, we honor him the only way we know how:

By refusing to stay silent and getting in more Good Trouble.

White House has been forced to admit Donald Trump has been diagnosed with Chronic Venous Insufficiency. While CVI itself is not a direct cause of death, its complications, like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), can be fatal.

📢Trump is on the Epstein list.
