I’m happy we got custody of the F word in the great divide.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government. But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza. This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

He's literally creating a war, the "I deserve the Nobel Peace prize" guy

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Impressive man. Terrific writing.

My statement on President Trump’s actions in Venezuela.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day. Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

But, of course, that’s a bridge too far for Gov. #KKKemp with his oh so proud $14b in surplus (no Medicaid expansion). But yet, we have a failing healthcare system where OB/GYNs are not in more than half of GA counties creating healthcare deserts. Gov. Brian Kemp can go fuck himself.

Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich. We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

listen I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

For House Speaker Mike Johnson, the shutdown was the perfect scapegoat, and keeping it alive was the only way for Trump and the House GOP to avoid a vote on releasing the Epstein Files — a vote Trump was nearly certain to lose. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/it-w...

If Epstein’s claims are true, Trump lied about his involvement & knew about the abuse Bondi & Blanche, Trump’s former personal lawyers in DOJ, ignored their duties to the Constitution & victims This is corruption, plain & simple I broke it down on @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social👇 - TN

Is the American Gestapo's message that it's better to bleed out on a horse than on the ground? And note to the semi-literates in the Trump administration: It's "lay" when you place something, "lie" when you recline on your own.

You only get one, health or food, which is it?

I think corporations who don’t pay a living wage should get taxed or penalized a comparative amount based on how many of their employees are on SNAP

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million. In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million. A massive percentage came from foreigners. It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics. But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

imagine any former president doing what this man has done and is doing where’s the humanity?

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

I am so old that I remember when we had progressive tax rates, so richer people paid more than less wealthy people, and we called it “progressive taxation“ but NOBODY had a problem with rich people paying higher tax rates. It was COMMON SENSE.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

BREAKING: ICE has re-arrested Kilmar Abrego García, just days after a Tennessee judge rejected the government’s push to keep him locked up. Last week, Abrego García embraced his three children for the first time in 160 days. This is the cruelty Trump governs by.

IMPEACH PAM BONDI for failure to do her job.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Our daughter who is opening a veterinary urgent care clinic to better serve Palmer Alaska just got hit with a tariff bill of $60,000 for new equipment! Foreign countries do not pay these tariffs! Trump is a fucking moron and those keeping him in power are too!! Defeat ALL Republicans!!

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.
