“.. it's every day, some new excuse why he won't sign, right? Look at the core. He knows that, that is the deciding signature on the discharge petition," Gallego added.

A collage of octopuses at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. A giant blue octopus made of plastic recovered from the ocean off the coast of Oregon. A picture of an octopus’s tentacles spread on the glass of the aquarium. An octopus’s face dark colored with a pebble like texture to camouflage itself with the cave wall behind it. Photos by Robert Emond.

"There's truth underneath all this fake outrage. Conservatives really are at a disadvantage in pop culture because most creative people are liberals, which has always been true & probably always will be. While MAGA has had some success building a culture machine, what it produces is mostly banal."

Latina Equal Pay Day marks how far into 2025 Latinas must work to earn what white men earned in 2024. That gap isn't just a statistic — it's rent and groceries for families across our country. I'm committed to closing the gap and building an economy that works for everyone.

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

The "Antifa" everywhere stuff is really worse than McCarthyism. It's witch trial shit except they can't even find a judge to sanctify it.
