Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.”

Sen. Mark Kelly: “I’ve had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I’ve been nearly shot down multiple times. I’ve flown a rocket ship into space four times, built by the lowest bidder. I’m not going to be silenced by Donald Trump.”

The "Department of Government Efficiency" has disbanded eight months early.
DOGE sowed chaos throughout the government and disrupted services relied upon by millions, while finding hardly any savings.
Here's what you should know about damage that DOGE leaves behind.

Nazi Musk’s corrupt pet project DOGE has officially disbanded after 8 months of destroying the US govt and illegally gaining access to the private data of tens of millions of Americans just for the purpose of instilling fear. Everyone involved should go to jail.

With all the money we save boycotting everything, it sure feels good to walk into an independently owned business and drop a large chunk of change. I bought a book and 2 albums from a local record/book store and they thanked me like 10 times. Man, it really means a lot to them. Fuck corporate stores

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

As the first pulmonologist in Congress, take it from me: early detection saves lives. This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, I'm encouraging those with risk factors to talk with their trusted physician about getting screened. I'll keep fighting for the affordable, accessible care you deserve.

Jamal Khashoggi was a WaPo columnist when he was murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul at the direction of the Saudi government. The entire world condemned it, except Trump. This wasn’t “things happen.” It was a state-sanctioned assassination for exercising free speech.
