Transplanted from NY to FL in 1977, I remember when Florida was blue & newsworthy for Space Shuttle launches and fun family-friendly vacations. We used to have winters, too

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.

"A bad, fast-talking infomercial." Jen Psaki reacts to Donald Trump's address to the nation, "It was extremely loose on facts and he basically tried to shout his alleged accomplishments at the American people as if that was going to convince them that they were all true."

This is how you do it. If Trump sues you, tell him, "If you were harmed, prove it" by producing your medical records, prescriptions, and income tax statements.

This has the votes to pass with bipartisan support, but Johnson is going to adjourn the House again to delay it as long as possible just like he did with Epstein.

We need to recognize this isn’t a Trump issue only, this is every Republican in Congress allowing this. It’s not a Donald Trump problem, it’s the Republican Party!

There is a deep read in the NYT today on how Epstein exploited greed to amass $Billions. The stock markets are corrupt, rigged shitholes, now being joined by crypto. The tax system is an immoral cheat theatre. It's time for class warfare...but this time not by the Reaganites and Trumpers.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.
