With today's news cycle, the desire to retreat inward and tune out is completely understandable. But now more than ever, we have to show up for our democracy. We have to show up for each other. Find the nearest #NoKings protest near you today: www.nokings.org

War torn Portland. I am

Train got in on time, which means I’m back in NYC to talk to @maddow.msnbc.com about No Kings! Nokings.org

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time. There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

“We are seeing a return to power of a past that never went away in the world.”

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

Republicans shut down the government to raise your health care costs and hide the Epstein files.

An American President just declared war on the American people. That person should no longer be President. And Dems should now say so openly.

Chris, get on the horn to your senator right away. Let your elected representatives know you won’t stand for it and get them to make it stop

Maybe the Fox bobbleheads should shut it and check the numbers. Kimmel pulled 15 million viewers last night. Those are not “low ratings,” that’s a beatdown.

This message is very important to remind ourselves of and to share with other people.

If you're in California and want to help stop Trump's power grab, vote YES on PROP. 50. You'll receive a ballot in the mail early in October. Vote YES and return your ballot ASAP before November 4. Let's fight back and defend democracy! Tariffs increased one of my prescriptions by $30.

Thank goodness other countries still have employed comedians. This was BRILLIANT 😂🤣😂 Also: F*ck you, Disney.

😂😂😂😂 This was probably the funniest 2 minutes of my day.

In the first year alone, covid vaccines are estimated to have delivered between $5 trillion and $38 trillion in global benefits in terms of averted sick days, avoided hospitalisations and prevented deaths 🧪 They cost $69 billion to develop and deliver www.newscientist.com/article/2496...

Incredible. Trump drags the reputation of a highly regarded economist, first Black woman to be a Fed gov, thru the mud claiming she committed mortgage fraud. But the documents his appointee to run Fannie & Freddie got for him & that he said showed fraud don’t actually say that.

Trying to figure out how to alert Brett Kavanaugh that his wildly permissive standard for kidnapping can sweep up Irish guys as well.

I was a few tables over from him at a fancy restaurant a few years ago, I now regret not taking the opportunity to use my straw to shoot boogers into his gazpacho.

If any Democrat who fancies himself or herself to be the next POTUS and can't provide a concrete and viable plan for how he or she will methodically rebalance and restructure this MAGA #SCOTUS pursuing all necessary options including expansion, ethics reform, impeachment etc - then really GTFOH.

Anti-ICE/Gestapo protest - Chicago, IL Right now!

Epstein’s affection for young women was no secret. As Donald Trump put it in New York Magazine in 2002, “It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

If you are wondering what happened in Indonesia yesterday, this is the whole summary. I don't care if you dislike politics, but it's about humanity. It would be greatly appreciated if my English speaker friends here try to educate themselves and share this as a form of spreading more awareness.

The only reason for Emil Bove to be still showing up for Trump administration photo opps (in this photo from Trump’s D.C. takeover, peeking out at top right) is that Emil Bove understands himself to be part of the Trump administration on an ongoing basis www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...

I have never seen so many public servants protest the mismanagement of a government. Trumpists will point to this as proof of the deep state, but the reality is that these are professionals who are desperately trying to get the public to understand how bad things are.

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

Hey, heads up for everyone on TikTok, this is NOT me. The thing that annoys me the most is that they have a subscription account, so they are getting paid to repost my videos. 😒 Please report them.

Governor Newsom on the media’s feigned outrage over his Trump-style posts: What an admission! Where have they been not asking Donald Trump this?

What if the news media agreed to stop calling these Ivy League deals “settlements” and just said, you know, “Cornell has agreed to pay $100 million in extortion money.”

"Stole Staff" as in girls giving massages at Mar A Lago that ended up being raped on the island Trump never had the "privilege" of going to? That "staff"?
