Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

I hate it when Putin speaks and people quote him seriously, analyzing his words, searching for meaning, trying to understand him as if he’s ever uttered a single word of truth.

Cynical murderer and a lying gargoyle, that's what he is.

There was no "battle" at Wounded Knee.

It was a massacre.

Over 300 Sioux people, many women and children, were butchered.

Hegseth is praising and rewarding the murderers.

How is this Christian, MAGA?
