Jones: Everything you hear from Tuberville is framed as a sports analogy. When you view everything that way, you’re always stuck in an us-versus-them, winners-versus-losers mentality. That’s how he operates.
But the fact that communities across Alabama are suffering is not a game.

If you’re telling Head Start programs they can’t say “disability”, “Black”, “female”, or “Tribal” in order to get funded—you don’t care about kids. Period.
This administration is attacking the very protections that keep children safe and supported. Our kids are not political props.

I am convinced America crossed an event horizon thirteen years ago, when even the deaths of elementary school aged children at the hands of a monster weren't enough for their government to say "enough is enough". Hard not to think that Americans would rather have their guns over their children.

Wondering where all the other Republicans are? If you cannot call out an utterly disrespectful and depraved post, what WILL you call out? Oh wait. I guess I know........
Let’s hope the shift continues and that Massie and Greene are not the only (R)s with the guts to be vocal about the depravity of the goddamn U.S. President real soon.

Trump is deranged and dangerous. This is not hyperbole. This is a fact! But then the whole world knows that. We should all just keep stressing this point because that’s the way they like to communicate. 🤬

Speaking ill of the dead is controversial, particularly when it was a violent death. It’s edgy; it’s sensitive; best avoided in most cases, etc.
Baselessly making another person’s murder *about yourself,* and then approving of it, is a different thing. That is delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

Haaland: Affordability is real. We have a president downplaying the suffering that people are experiencing in our country. He is not listening. He’s in a bubble, and you can look at him and see that he’s never had to worry about missing a meal himself.

Stop accepting the cynical notion that “nothing can be done” about guns, or anything else for that matter. Every time you give up hope, the emperor has already won.

Measles outbreaks are spreading across the U.S., and the country is now at risk of losing its disease-elimination status. Infectious disease experts say this is directly tied to Trump appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead HHS. Are we great yet?
