The Heritage Foundation’s recent decision to hire Scott Yenor, a family-policy scholar, “poses serious questions about the institution’s beliefs concerning the equality of women in the workplace and perhaps even as citizens,” Henry Olsen argues:

Mike Johnson is powerless to stop this:

The Trump admin has been quietly pressuring Europe to not seize the Russian billions for Ukraine. He fully intends to give it back to Russia and likely will find a way to profit himself. Shame on America, and shame on Europe

Sen. Welch (D-VT) on Epstein files & Bondi’s “new investigation” 🥺
“It would be naive of any of us to think that Trump has really had a conversion,” referring to Trump’s call for House Republicans to vote for the bill after months of trying to block it. “He does not want the information out.”

This is like a successful worker strike on moral grounds, and winning public support against a bad employer, and then having your union leadership selling you out without a vote & have to go back to the same work conditions with lost wages, no gains, and an employer empowered to make things worse.

Appropriate & many more will follow. @schumer.senate.gov @kenmartin.bsky.social

I’m voting no on the continuing resolution that would double healthcare premiums for 20 million Americans, kick 15 million people off Medicaid & allow 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily every year. All to give $1 trillion in tax breaks for billionaires.

#Leadership #DoNotCaveToCruelty

Not enough people are talking about this: Even before Trump cut off SNAP funding, he and Republicans in Congress made the biggest cuts to food assistance in U.S. history.

Amen

What a wonderful example of hope and love in service to everyone - no hate. youtube.com/watch?v=hFH2...

Congratulations to all newly elected leaders & successful school referenda in Carver County & beyond! May we continue to build strong kids and strong communities rooted in love, justice & education. 🇺🇸

During the government shutdown, President Trump:   - Raised $250 million from billionaires for a ballroom - Gave Qatar an Air Force facility in Idaho - Doubled Argentina's bailout to $40 billion   What happened to America First?

This group in Chaska has been going strong since March, calling on MN-CD6 Rep Emmer(GOP House Whip) to do better & face his constituents. Every Saturday! And NoKings 2.0 over 3k showed up to show their love for this country and its Constitution. 🇺🇸

Trump’s rhetoric has crossed a line — from “Deep State” conspiracy to open fascist playbook. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans ripped health care away from 15 million people and are raising costs for millions more. The numbers are damning.

Mr. President. Stop breaking the law.  The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees. Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

Keep speaking truth 🙌🏼🇺🇸

🤡

The Democratic Party will not come back from the fall of betrayal if they capitulate in the least. Majority party owns this - they have opportunity to demonstrate representational duty to We the People & uphold their oath.🇺🇸 @kenmartin.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

By the way if Trump sabotages his own govt during a shutdown well, that’s his choice and he owns it.

The U.S. military’s openness to the press was never a favor to journalists, but an obligation to a country that asks its sons and daughters to volunteer for service. The Defense Department's new policy puts that in jeopardy, Nancy A. Youssef writes.

This is the behavior of a thug drunk on false power & sense of control not found in their own lives, fed by evil forces who tap into it to demonize & harm others. Not what upstanding LE officers stands for. This behavior must be quashed, not normalized along with all other evil forces in play.

🙌🏼

In previous shutdown negotiations, right-wing Republicans have threatened to allow the government to shut down.

Said the guy who now threatens (extorts?) media companies if they don’t cancel programs and people who speak truth to unchecked power.

Just a small sampling of ANTIFA pics. Sad that so few from WWII are still alive to school us on the importance of being anti-fascist. 🇺🇸

This

Newsmax asked me why the “left” is saying ICE disappears people

…and still has his job. Double standard?

This is what happens when we allow “othering” of people who are different from us. This is what happens in an “us versus them” society. When you see folks pedaling division; you can decline. Try hard NOT to be a hypocrite.

Disturbing.

This is unconstitutional. This is kidnapping. This is criminal. This is wrong. 🇺🇸

Local voters & constituents visit Congressman Tom Emmer’s in Chaska (MN CD 06) office to deliver a message - and a retirement cake. #EmmerDoBetter 🇺🇸

Not to mention Tate, Gaetz etc

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Neguse: Only in Washington, D.C. could politicians come to the floor and brag about cutting $9 billion from rural radio stations while two weeks ago they voted to increase the deficit by $4 trillion. Spare us these lectures.

The story about Colbert being cancelled because…. Trump doesn’t like him, should be a warning shot to everyone. The oligarchy has the power… they will use their money to silence you. Time to rise up.

Appropriate response to assassin’s attempt to change the story with delusional lies.

Bad idea. But let’s see how many Catholic churches follow their hierarchy. They’re not a democracy - so what will the Pope advise? Hopefully that they stay out of partisan endorsements & remind us of the importance of religious freedom.

Hotline callers were saying, “I do not want to be part of pointing a gun at US citizens and maybe shooting it.”
