If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

Yeah it’s nice to see someone from The Bush Institute speaking up for Ukraine.. might’ve been even better if it was almost 4 years ago.. but I guess we take this

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

Cat @catvalente.bsky.social is always a thoughtful, intelligent, and above all *passionate* writer, but even having said that, this is an amazing piece about cycles of abuse and national politics. Please read it! catvalente.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...

"Think not of the books you've bought as a "to be read" pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood." - Luc van Donkersgoed

Please stop worrying. Members of Congress will not have their healthcare affected in any manner when they force us to pay higher premiums.

Darlings, a reminder, in case no one has told you lately: the world is better with you in it. Stay.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Donald Trump threatened supermajority GOP Indiana with eliminating all federal funds for the state if they didn’t bow down to his demented old ass. Indiana Senate Republicans didn’t bow. Donald Trump’s time is up.

No one from Indiana was even involved in this disaster of a redistricting map. Tsk. #Indiana #GOP #Redistricting

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

“If Russia is banned, then why isn’t Israel? Israel, war crime after war crime, genocide, ongoing, ceasefire that is violated every day.” Marina Purkiss made the remarks as she questioned the double standards of banning Russia from Eurovision while allowing ‘Israel’ to participate.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Exactly ⬇️ This 💯......

Trump's National Guard deployments have cost over $473 MILLION. A disgusting misuse of federal resources, taxpayer dollars, and US troops’ service. Doing this while firing federal workers and kicking millions off of healthcare is just the cherry on top of the dumpster fire that is the Trump admin.

Huge win for Missouri and for all libraries. Thank you to MASL, MLA, the ACLU, and everyone involved! @la-cac.org #FReadom www.stlpr.org/government-p...

And here it is: Schumer says he'll request unanimous consent on the Epstein bill.

Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats. Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives. You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

When my cartoons become reality. #chicago

The US Supreme Court has acted like it's one of Kim Davis's many husbands and kicked the "Marriage is Sacred, Y'all!!!" hypocrite to the curb. Glory!

So at the beginning of Nov Congress would have been paid, unless they specifically had their pay check held. I would argue they should donate it because they haven’t worked. Maybe a good question for reporters to catalog?

Pure 🔥🔥🔥from Sen. Rosen: "This is a Republican shutdown...You are in control of the White House, the House, and the Senate. If you went home to a food bank instead of going to Mar-A-Lago...while people are starving, you might see and hear your constituents. You are blind to the suffering."

Holy crap! Please vote!!!

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

Traditional American politics is premised on the notion that sometimes you lose and sometimes you win and you have to deal with that. But Trumpism is premised on the notion that any result where you don’t win is illegitimate, unlawful, fraud, criminal. You can’t negotiate with people like that.

We've got you 👍

If our economic system is so brittle that it can be destroyed by free buses, maybe we should try for something more resilient.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

And there it is... Announcement is made that the US House will be out of session again next week They haven't voted since mid-September

GOP: I can't believe Dems are trying to stop us from taking away your healthcare. Just for that, no food for you.

It feels like taxpayers are footing the bill for a dying tyrant’s wish list. A ballroom. A triumphal arch. A war in Venezuela. He’s got people lobbying for him to get a Nobel Prize for the COVID vaccines. No bequest for the American people in his dying days, though. We’re not important to him.

I'm no economist but the fact that more than 42 million Americans (1 in 8!) are on SNAP (i.e., food stamps) says that the federal minimum wage is way too low.

Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP. If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them. Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).
