Pull your donation to NPR until they start using words properly. I just did.

Maybe if we boycott them like Target, they will get the point.

Also sad the fourth branch has as well.
A free press is guaranteed in the constitution as much as any of the three branches of government. including the presidency.

It’s sad that the three branches of American government have abandoned not only their duties to the electorate, but also their oaths to protect and defend the constitution.

The guy thirsting for murder porn kicks off his bio with Christian.

I had a Christian respond to my athiesm with "I'm worried for my soul." She was insulted by my response: "Don't worry about my soul, worry about the Christians. In fact, the more Christian they are, the more you should worry."

Not surprised the Social Security website crashes like a Tesla and explodes like a SpaceX rocket when I try to sign up for SSA benefits.

At some point, you gotta respect her ability to manipulate reality à la minute. It is truly astonishing.
Reporter: Why are white house officials then meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the files?

Leavitt: Doesn't it show transparency that members of the trump administration are willing to brief members of congress?

Is it that they do not care or that they are too dim to understand the assignment?

In my experience: too dim
not the most pressing issue but amongst all of these emails is a consistent refrain and that is a great number of journalists do not really care much about their job.

you can say "no they just disagree with what their job is" and that's cute and clever but really they just don't think it has value.

This.
Michael Wolff strategizing with Epstein… cool, nice, great stuff
🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes.

Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

And yet he not willing to wait long enough.

Shame on you, Durbin. This is a massive stain on your career.
President Trump said on the campaign trail that he had ‘concepts of a plan’ to make health care affordable.

More than a year later… we’re still waiting for it.

How can a 12-week old kitty make me feel bad about having to get up and go to the bathroom?

Girl, I got a post-menopausal bladder that has had to process 2 liters of water today so I can hope to sleep tonight. Your only stress was getting just one Churu today.

Community. Dem's platform should be: we believe in the power of community. Not only does it accomplish this, it is really hella hard to "hate" your neighbor, no matter who they are and how they live.

Plus, we can distribute pitchforks more effectively if we are in communities meeting with people.
ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Srsly, don't bury the lede!
I really hate how the internet has turned all written word news articles into a scavenger hunt because they bury the actual point at least five paragraphs down so you have to scroll through ads. Like Baker & Taylor, book distributor, being killed by private equity. The news site paywalled the name.

They also need volunteers. I love volunteering at the local food bank because it allows me to meet folks I am supporting in the hopes I can brighten their day with a friendly smile and actual connection.
I just sent a hefty check to our local food bank. This is not a flex, it’s a call for action. Starting November 1st we could see the largest hunger event in the US since the Great Depression and the food banks need all the help that they can get to feed the hungry. If you are able, give.
