I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

"NBC Nightly News can show you pictures of devastating flooding, but they don't tell locals where to get fresh water."

The malevolent elf is explaining how badly the discharge petition is written and why it is terrible to vote for it. I am so sick of him speaking down to the American people.

If a man said what Megyn Kelly said, you would assume he was a trafficker. This young lady is wise beyond her years, but she is still a “child”and she would like a word…

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social where is your apology to Mamdani and to the American people who want something different? Admit you were wrong and I may respect you again.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

He announced wanting a ballroom months ago and the Dems announced today they want to know what's going on. WTF too late. It's always late. Every Dem should be shouting "HE IS BUILDING A BALLROOM WHILE CHILDREN STARVE". Where are they?

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Obscene. 😡

You need to see this… Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.

Title X is a program that helps women get things like birth control & cancer screenings. It was established under RICHARD NIXON. The decision to essentially abolish this office has nothing to do with the shutdown. This is just another attack on women's basic health care.

This one hits deep. The decision to wipe out the special education office isn’t just another bureaucratic “cut” it’s a betrayal of children who already fight every day to be seen, heard, and supported.

Your gentle reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated on June 14 and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it.

Thinking of all our American #Bluesky friends. 💙 #weseeyou #cdnpoli #uspoli

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

Absolutely right!

In an urgent clarion call to Democratic leaders, as the government funding fight heats up once again, Jay Kuo argues it's time for decisive leadership. It's time to stand up to fight MAGA fascism. It's time to demand concessions. And if you don't get them, shut down the government if you must.

Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

This is the way

Bill Cassidy is a physician who is being humiliated daily by Robert F. Kennedy. Kennedy has exposed Cassidy’s craven prioritization of his own power over the health and safety of his constituents and of the United States of America. Kennedy has exposed Cassidy’s powerlessness to stop him.

They’re traumatizing kids.

The damage this man has done is incalculable.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

Top CDC leaders leave as the director is pushed out. They say RFK Jr. and the Trump regime are “weaponizing public health” and “generating materials that do not reflect scientific reality” www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Make no mistake, Republicans know EXACTLY how we can protect and expand Social Security benefits. They refuse to do so because it would require making their billionaire paymasters pay their fair share!

Oh 🥺 www.reuters.com/world/uk/act...

One of Trump's many dipshits left behind sensitive documents about the Anchorage summit on a hotel copy machine -- including: names and numbers of U.S. and Russian state leaders, schedule and room locations. Yet another major national security breach. www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority? ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles /
