Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

NEWS --> Three men who were in the van with the victim of the ICE shooting in Texas are potential witnesses, but they're now under pressure to self-deport, a rep for the families tells me. They remain in detention even as ICE's story falters. Details in this piece: newrepublic.com/article/2129...

Nothing describes the cut throat nature of US right wing politics quite like being brain dead in a hospital bed, your wife didn’t cut her trip to China early to see you, the top tier of your Party is lying about conversations with you & your President hasn’t even noticed you’re missing. #uspoli

I hate the insipid stupidity that passes for news and culture

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

I hate the insipid stupidity that passes for news and culture

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was horrifically shot and killed by an ICE agent in Houston, Texas. His son, Ronaldo, had to find out via social media. When anyone can be shot and killed in the street by federal agents, no one is safe from gun violence.

The Platner story shows how political consultants should not parachute into a state and pick a candidate. There were a bunch of solid Democratic candidates in the state. Maybe the elites don’t know better than the people who actually live in the state?

"we are sending the qatari presidential jet out on tour to england" an actual thing that is happening

I wish the media had the same urgency about the state of Mitch McConnell as they did for Kamala's W-2 from McDonald's in the 80s.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

From investment fraud to sophisticated schemes involving hard-to-trace digital currency, Texans lost more than $1 billion to cryptocurrency scams in 2025. Here’s what to know. bit.ly/4p7d6LU

Add the invention of the cell phone and you get the full picture.

Seems like these data centers that nobody really wants are doing nothing but using up our power and water resources and contaminating our water supplies. Hardly worth it so a few men can gather up all our information.

BREAKING: Molly Crane Newman reports that Judge Kaplan has ORDERED the release of the $5m plus interest to E Jean Carroll.

Bang. Recall that Zelensky was a television comedian before becoming president of Ukraine.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Todd Blanche doesn’t have the integrity or the decency to lead the DOJ. #BlockBlanche

jesus fucking christ

Yet another example of how stupid and reckless (and dangerous) anti-vaxxers are.

You know, it's pretty wild that all the journalists we are supposed to respect don't know if a sitting senator is dead or not

Trump derangement syndrome is basically being alive in 2026 and driven to the brink of madness by the constant lies, grifting, bigotry and stupidity. It is actually the only rational response..

Ok, I'm a fan of Haaland now after that smack he gives the 2nd kid

ALERT: Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) asks Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to provide a health update to him and to all Kentuckians

Extortion

So we can't even know if an elected official is alive or dead under this regime? Does America even exist anymore or do we already live in Russia?

As horrific as Trump is, it's truly appalling to see how many Republicans and billionaires are assisting his criminal racket.

Here’s the problem: we can no longer believe the government when it makes these kinds of statements after its agents kill someone. That’s a very dangerous place for a democracy to be. Read the full analysis here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

So we all agree that Mitch McConnell is dead and they're trying to Weekend At Bernie him, right?

Evergreen post: He could be impeached tonight and convicted at trial in a few weeks and removed from office immediately thereafter if about 20 people in DC decided to put country over party for the first time in their miserable, self-dealing lives

Trump is a rapist. Most of the people he's appointed to his cabinet and nominated to the Supreme Court face credible accusations of sexual harassment. He, his VP, and his sons are actively defending Andrew Tate from prosecution for sex trafficking and rape. Just some things I think about sometimes.

Nothing against Taylor Swift or Travis Kelce but it's hard not to notice how a celebrity wedding becomes the biggest story in America while people are struggling to pay bills and keep a roof over their heads. That says a lot about what gets attention and what doesn't.

Independent Scotland will be one of the Richest Countries in Europe. Are you a Unionist, running out of excuses?

Mitch McConnell arriving to the next session of Congress.

If the whole planet went to complete solar & wind energy we could stop global warming in 5 years. 5 years,folks. The oil & gas industry would be relegated to machinery only.

I think we have a right to know how much Trump paid in taxes on the billions he stole last year.

Dems have dumped Swalwell and platner Republicans have nominated Ken Paxton

Why can’t someone just find out if Mitch McConnell is dead? They have to use his death to steal another senate seat? Can’t someone go to the hospital? Where is TMZ when you need them?

What kind of country do we live in if no one can confirm someone is dead or not, where are the investigative reporters and private investigators?! IS MITCH MCCONNELL DEAD?!!!

His constituents need to demand proof of life!

⚡️Soon, they will be firing 1,000 of our UAVs at Moscow: Putin will flee beyond the Urals. The further he is from the Kremlin — the closer the end of the war, — Zelensky.
