On this day in 1872, Yellowstone National Park established. 🏕️ Thanks to Trump cuts and firing of federal workers, however, Yellowstone and other national parks across the U.S. are experiencing major issues and shortages. We can't sit by and watch them destroy our nation's most treasured places.

It’s always “We can’t afford to pay our employees a living wage.” But it’s never “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars."

Monday Thoughts from a Canadian🤔🍁💪 'Boycott US Travel'

I will give Suozzi more credit than he gives himself. He knew what the vote was. He just figured the way to "win" was to support the funding because that's more "centrist" and buck the Democratic majority. But morally, he knew what this was about. He ended up wrong morally AND politically.

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

Since Trump doesn't seem to know the difference, let us make it clear: 1. It’s called CLIMATE change, not weather change. The climate is still warming over a long period of time even when it's cold outside. 2. Climate change is making extreme weather events, including winter storms, more intense.

16 years ago, the Supreme Court allowed unlimited political spending by corporations and wealthy special interests. If we want power back in the hands of the people, we need Justices who will overturn #CitizensUnited and get big money out of politics.

Let's get so loud about this that Congress has no choice but to impeach Kristi Noem:

A federal judge appeared deeply skeptical of the legality of Trump's scheme to circumvent congressional oversight to build his ballroom. The over two dozen corporate donors backing the project may not see their pay-to-play plans play out. This ballroom is starting to crumble.

Last October, Pastor Jorge Bautista was telling a Border Patrol agent "we come in peace" when the agent fired toxic powder at him, leaving him struggling to breathe. “No one should be assaulted for being out there protesting,” he says. (Published Nov. 2025 w/ @frontlinepbs.bsky.social)

It's a fact

Voters in six states — including Idaho and Pennsylvania — approved conservation measures during elections last month. Vermont and Massachusetts are going beyond 30x30 conservation goals. While Trump and Big Oil are looking to destroy more public lands, voters are saying they want to protect them.

Liar Trump claims there was “no inflation” during his first term. Reality check: consumer prices rose about 8% from the first day of his term to the last day, with an inflation rate of 2.46%. Truth matters. Spread it around.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Penalizing a team bc the sideline celebrates too hard is sooooooooooo lame

The Trump phone was supposed to be released in August. It's December first, & still no sign of it. But don't worry! You can still pay the $100 deposit for a non-existent phone. Is this the latest edition of the Trump family's scams and ripoffs?

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”

Bezos: ‘Over 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggle to feed their families and have a roof over their head, but YOU WANT to struggle so the billionaire class can hoard more wealth!’ For the record, my undergrad is in Economics. Don’t let these privileged fucks lie to you.

The FDA never released a comprehensive list of the drugs it allowed into the U.S. even though they were made by banned factories. So we made that list for you 👇

There’s an HIV prevention injection that could protect MILLIONS. But one company controls it. It’s time for Gilead to stop hiding behind restrictive patents, exclusionary licensing deals, & registration delays and start making this shot available to everyone who needs it.

Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors. It’s almost like…. It was never about that

Johnson's refusal to seat Rep.-elect Grijalva for SEVEN WEEKS wasn't just a disservice to the people of Arizona. It was a cheap partisan ploy to obstruct the democratic process. Oh yeah, and she also would be the breaking vote on releasing the Epstein files, so there's that.

Daily reminder: Poor people are not the problem in this country, billionaires are.

Tell Congress Right Now: Pass the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act

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?"

Congratulations to WFP champion @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social on her swearing-in after weeks of stalling by Speaker Mike Johnson. Not only will families in Southern Arizona finally have representation in Congress, Americans are getting a fighter who's ready to hit the ground running.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

Remember when presidents used to actually make speeches saying hunger in America should not exist because we were the greatest country in the world? Good times.

Microsoft is now warning investors about the pushback against its massive data centers. The tech giant's latest earnings reports says: “We also face community opposition, local moratoriums and hyper-local dissent that may impede or delay infrastructure development."

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.
