I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

It's a simple equation: it was costlier for the company to lose subscriptions/theme-park/ad revenue than to kowtow to Trump, so it made the decision to bring him back.
Jimmy Kimmel will return to ABC's airwaves on Tuesday night, per parent company Disney. Kimmel was taken off air for "ill-timed and thus insensitive" comments about the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the company said. My latest in @washingtonpost.com:
Disney brings back Jimmy Kimmel, sidelined after Charlie Kirk comments
“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on ABC was taken off air following backlash from President Donald Trump, FCC Chair Brendan Carr, Nexstar, Sinclair and a bevy of conservative critics.

You’re telling me that a man whom the FBI has on tape accepting a 50k bribe was not only not prosecuted, but promoted so he could send masked agents to kidnap day laborers on minimum wage. I feel like I’m going insane.
Tom Homan, who was later named President Trump’s border chief, was recorded in September 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI investigation, according to people familiar with the case, which was later closed by Trump administration officials.
Trump Justice Dept. Closed Investigation Into Tom Homan for Accepting Bag of Cash
Mr. Homan came under scrutiny after he was said to be recorded last year taking $50,000 in cash from undercover F.B.I. agents.

There are currently wildfires in every province of Canada. My cousin on Vancouver Island had to evacuate from his home late last week. It's been messing with my head, as someone who grew up in B.C., to think of that normally rainy place burning.

It would be more honest if more people would say "I am doing OK amidst the horrors being suffered by others." It's actually not true that everything is terrible for everyone right now. We're living under unequally distributed fascism.

I don't trust anyone who says they oppose Trump and support Israel because the apartheid state is the same kind of racist far right government that Trump is.
So you're okay with fascism as long as it kills people you personally don't like? Is that it?

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on.

Senators are Van Hollen, Welch, Schatz, Murray, Kaine, Durbin, Merkley, Sanders, Warren, Smith, Baldwin, Markey, Warnock, Heinrich, Duckworth, Klobuchar, Hirono, Alsobrooks, Lujan, Ossoff, and Murphy. Both GA Senators and Baldwin from WI but no one else from a Trump 2024 state. No NY, NJ, or CA.
Families in Gaza are starving to death. Meanwhile, Trump & Netanyahu are using US taxpayer dollars to replace international aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries — leading to even more deaths.
