I am simply DELIGHTED by the brilliant Canadian #ReaganTariffAd that made the orange guy SO MAD! So he cut off #USCanadaTradeTalks. Also #Venezuela, etc. Should we laugh or scream? Lately I have settled for a special hybrid sound: a #screaugh. What are you using? Also #EpsteinEpsteinEpstein #Epstein

Why is this getting so little attention? I mean, yeah it’s a daily hornet’s nest of violations, but this seems kinda important, no? @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com (Please share, esp

Hope people are realizing that rigging the 2026 and 2028 elections have always been the plan.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

Dylan Blaha rejects that logic entirely. He said Democrats who take such advice “aren’t bad people, but they’re getting bad guidance from consultants who say, ‘Don’t talk about trans rights; it’s not a winning issue.’ That’s disgusting to me. You don’t win by abandoning your values.”

The military taught me that silence and inaction carry consequences,” he said. “When governments stop valuing human life, it starts small, and that’s why you stand up early.”

Candid allyship
Blaha describes himself as a “fighter ally,” committed to centering queer and trans inclusion in his campaign. He told The Advocate that his team includes trans and nonbinary volunteers, and he said they are developing research-driven “white papers” that would guide legislation to strengthen federal nondiscrimination protections and prevent anti-LGBTQ+ laws from resurfacing. “We’re grounding everything in data and expertise,” he said. “No human should be left behind.”

Like those candidates, Blaha argues that equality and affordability are interconnected. “You can’t separate equality from affordability,” he said. “The trans woman sleeping in her car because she got fired deserves housing just as much as the single mom who can’t afford rent. These fights are part of the same struggle.”

Why is Ginny Thomas not under arrest?
Why has Mike Flynn not been recalled and faced court-martial?
Why is Trump not under arrest?
Why does Louis DeJoy still have DeJob?
Why are SCOTUS members that committed perjury, not facing impeachment?
How is Clarence Thomas still on SC?

I can't understate just how courageous Jack Smith is and has been. The letter his legal team wrote yesterday is amazing work. But it also underscores the TRUE FUCKING PERIL that truth tellers are facing!
Courage in real time ♥️
I honestly pray this doesn't go the Navalny route & I don't pray.🙏🏼

Hell, AMAZON will suffer! They make a fortune off of EBT (SNAP) customers. But will Jeff Bezos do anything about it?

This is exactly what I have been trying to tell people who think they are flexing when punching down on those receiving SNAP benefits. Grocery stores, especially in low to middle income areas, will struggle, farmers will suffer, schools will suffer. Children and seniors will suffer. The economy too

Trump’s tearing down the East Wing to build himself a $350M ballroom while Americans struggle to afford health care.

Senator Ruben Gallego went to the site of the Trump teardown.

A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.

This is an incredible burn on Mahoney by Callsen and Deeds, clarifying who has the intellectual honesty to do the reading and who used ChatGPT

In your letter you pledge to uphold the Jeffersonian ideal of an "unyielding pursuit of 'truth, wherever it may lead."" You did not provide the entire quote. It is etched on an entrance to New Cabell Hall and reads, "For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it."

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.
