Retired after 20+ years as an IRS Agent. I was also a union steward and officer with the federal employees union. During the 1980s, I was a union steward with the CWA and watched as Reagan and the republicans started the destruction of the middle class.

There’s an Indian guy in Canada running a maga bot farm on twitter saying shit like this and spreading propaganda/manufactured outrage 24/7. He said he’s been approached by the Republican party to work with them.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Israel Named Leading Killer of Journalists in 2025 for Third Straight Year
In 2025, 29 Palestinian journalists were killed by the Israel Defense Forces, making them the top killer of journalists. Reporters Without Borders calls for justice and denounces the rising number of murdered journalists worldwide. Will we stand up against this assault on press freedom? #RSFRoundUp2025

There was a medical incident in the Oval Office. What a bizarre reaction by Trump. Probably pissed off about it.

Last night the body politic of America rejected the Trump virus, and Republicans lost every major race by a landslide. This was only a taste of 2026, when we’ll be coming for their Congressional seats. Join us in the fight: https://action.lincolnproject.us/26in26

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Portland, Oregon, has had their fair share of run ins with the Trump administration over the past few weeks.

On Saturday, it was clear Portlanders are not happy about it. Thousands—an early estimate—gathered to participate in the countrywide "No Kings" rally.
