Agree 💯 With John......

Young American men volunteer for military service, knowing they may have to sacrifice their lives for their country. But they didn't volunteer to sacrifice their futures to protect the President or Secretary of Defense from being convicted of crimes. That's not the service for which we thank them.

The world's richest 0.001% now control 3x as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity combined. 56,000 wealthy individuals have more than roughly 4 billion people. Read that back.

Vice President Harris at the DNC Winter Meeting: The American people sent a message in November. They want leaders to fight for affordability and for health care, for the right of people to participate in their democracy.

Ex FTC chair Lina Khan to @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social on Paramount & Netflix vying for Warners: “Both of these deals look illegal — what’s striking is in the Trump administration, everything is up for sale… maybe they’ll look the other way in terms of what he and his family get.”

I love this. We are going to see more heroes stepping up

This seems to be the elephant in the room.

Russians are perpetual victims. The world is mean to them. Why should they be punished for attacking and killing their neighbors?

"The plans align with the Trump administration’s focus on crewed spaceflight. The White House has proposed a budget that would increase human spaceflight funds for 2026, even as it advocates for major slashes to other programs — including a nearly 50 percent cut for science missions."

WTAF?! They want to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon now. It's Sean Duffy's first big move at NASA. “It is about winning the second space race,” said a NASA senior official, granted anonymity to discuss the documents ahead of their wider release. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

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.

Different story today: better.

How hard is that?

They’re right. ⬇️

Quite right. The White House was pulling the strings all along and lied about it.

This deserves more attention!

If we saw this in any other country, we would not only make fun of it, we would be seriously concerned. And I don't think they know what the word "iconic means." www.doi.gov/video/inside...

Thank God. This cannot be the way.

They’re everywhere. But the people are everywhere too.

It is worth noting that *nobody* was asking for the grand jury testimony. They wanted the list that Pamela Jo Bondi said was on her desk, the list that suddenly, conveniently disappeared, if it ever existed. This is just smoke and mirrors.

ice’s illegitimacy grows with every passing day

It won't just be Colbert. The Daily Show is next. Colbert was the the highest rated late night show host. The message is: Emmy's, ratings, and name recognition won't save you. You criticize the oligarchs and this administration, your show is done.

Not to pile-on in a crazy day, but Hegseth has reassigned Vice Admiral Yvette Davids, the first woman + Hispanic person to lead the U.S. Naval Academy. Superintendents typically serve at least three years. She's been there 18 months. Pretty intentional. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/hi...

The mayor of the small town of Walsenburg, CO says they need the jobs from a potential ICE detention center. Dozens of residents told him it's not worth sacrificing their values. #copolitics

PBS keeps us informed. Foreign assistance keeps us safe. So I voted no on the rescissions package that will make drastic cuts to both.

My God.

The moment Stephen Colbert said I don’t give a flying f**€k to Paramount and CBS.

So Trump has been directly or indirectly responsible for canceling Colbert, PBS and NPR all in the span of one week? Are people awake to what’s happening yet?

I welcome the agreement on our 18th sanctions package against Russia.   We are striking at the heart of Russia's war machine. Targeting its banking, energy and military-industrial sectors and including a new dynamic oil price cap.

Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.

CBS pulling the plug on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert well before the Midterms is probably just a wild coincidence.

Congrats to Stephen Colbert for never bending the knee.

oh

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.

Hey Paramount/CBS, you're cancelling Stephen Colbert for "financial reasons"? My arse! You continue to bend your cowardice knee to Trump. We see you.

Bove reported favorably out of Committee in straight party line vote, 12-10. A new nadir for the R Judiciary Committee and a disgusting result--rewarding someone who jumped to sacrifice the rule of law & violate his oath to serve a tyrant and then lied about it. Wretched, even by current standards.

No mention of Epstein in the Washington Post app’s Top Stories. 🧐

👀

Isn’t there a clause in the Constitution that says something about this?

Phang: It’s like a little boy running to hide behind mommy’s skirt. That’s exactly what this administration does—running to hide behind the Supreme Court’s ultra-conservative majority of six.

It’s called hyper-normalization. It’s a dissociative reaction meant to shield you as a safety mechanism, but ultimately helps whatever is attacking you. Think closing your eyes as a train comes rather than jumping out of the way. Fascism will succeed if we continue to hyper normalize its presence.

Who’s he afraid of pissing off? How hard is it to say “he won our party’s primary. Not only do I respect the choice of the voters of New York, I support the candidate they’ve chosen. I hope he can give New Yorkers what they want and I’ll do what I can to see he does.” Oh, donors. Get the money out.

The more they tell us to stop talking about Epstein the more we need to talk about Epstein

Hello all! Do not give up on getting Lauren Boebert out. Please check out Rear Admiral Eileen Laubacher @eileenforco.bsky.social running against her! Don't forget Boebert had to switch districts to pull off her win last time #pinks WE WILL WIN IN A RURAL COLORADO!
