Barack Obama: I'm so proud of the talented Leo High School Choir and all they are doing to represent the South Side of Chicago

US politics make more sense when you recognize that a lot more people are susceptible to delusions than most folks probably assume.

🙌🏻 Thank you Congressman Levin! SCOTUS term limits are necessary!

"But in Huxley's vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think." -Neil Postman Somehow, they made both Huxley and Orwell right.

I wonder how Marjorie Taylor Greene feels, knowing she got played by Steve Bannon & Jeffrey Epstein with their QAnon Save the Children BS

Watching the narrative fall apart in seconds.

When companies like Aetna or UnitedHealthcare want to rein in costs, they turn to EviCore, whose business model depends on turning down payments for care recommended by doctors for their patients. (Published Oct. 2024 with @capitolforum.bsky.social)

'We can't be bullied': How Trump and the GOP's redistricting push in Indiana backfired Aggressive tactics employed by Trump and his allies did not sit well with state lawmakers, who delivered a major political blow to national Republicans ahead of the midterms.

“When this administration calls you a criminal illegal alien, what do you say?” karoline leavitt’s Nephew’s mom: “I’m heartbroken. I’m heartbroken for my son. I don’t even have a parking ticket… it doesn’t make any sense. I’m just as lost as you are.”

My original thought was it’s a horror that Trump is in office for America’s 250th anniversary. Now I’m pleased that we will be reminded by our founders every day in 2026 that they fought to free themselves from a tyrannical despot and we must, too.

Sending him to Costa Rica wasn't sufficiently cruel enough to satisfy Trump and Miller.

🚨Representative Thompson calls Michael Glasheen (somebody for the FBI) out for claiming that ANTIFA is the #1 domestic terrorist organization in the United States. Glasheen attempts to compare ANTIFA to Al-Qaeda and ISIS, but Rep. Thompson cuts him off. ~ Uploaded to IG by the Huffington Post

i laughed out loud

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

Sure hope that video can be used to press charges against this vandal.

The Indiana Lt. Gov. confirmed the #Trump regime threatened to withhold federal funding unless lawmakers gerrymandered the state— Textbook quid pro quo extortion — In a normal administration this would be a national scandal

Things to celebrate: JD Vance and Mike Johnson both went to Indiana to whip votes. The failed.

Democrats think they've found their 2026 message — and Miami just backed it up In races across the country, Democrats focused on promises to make life more affordable — even as they offered contrasting approaches.

As a GOP activist, Harmeet Dhillon frequently insisted that the federal government has “little to say” about how states run their elections. Now, as head of the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), she claims the feds have “sweeping” authority to seize state voter rolls.

As an alum of a tx high school, I can attest that there is already alot of Christian nationalism indoctrination baked into the tx public school systems. Officially endorsing TPUSA is just codifying a specific flavor of Christian nationalism.

The Most Dangerous Words Trump Has Ever Spoken: Forget the indictments, the chaos, the circus. This is the moment Trump said the quiet part out loud...and the GOP acted like it was normal.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Update in case you were keeping score of Trump's failed attempts to prosecute Letitia James: •James is 34-0 against Donald Trump. •Trump is 0-3 against Letitia James. He's a 34X convicted felon She's a 3X vindicated icon If only Merrick Garland had 1/100th the courage & integrity of Leticia James.

Congratulations to every House Democrat and 20 Republicans for voting to restore the constitutional right to a union for over a million federal employees. The Senate must pass this bipartisan provision immediately. All workers, including federal employees, have the right to be in a union.

Democrats, we need to talk. These 8 senators let themselves get played by Republicans on reopening the government, and every one of us knew exactly how this would go. They handed Republicans the only leverage we had in the healthcare fight. 🧵

Representing oligarchs as working class heroes is a new low…even for us.

Mark Cuban: What if Medicare For All isn’t perfect? Everyone: Wait until you hear about the healthcare we have now

Just the very idea that Trump was a Russian asset and that the threat never taken seriously is beyond me.

FACT CHECK: TRUE

If handing someone their arse, was a video clip

Everyone is talking about how bad the flu is. Media & healthcare facilities are pleading with people to get their flu shot. To stay home when sick. To wash their hands. Very few are recommending masks. When we had mask mandates we eliminated an entire flu strain. Mask up!

MAGA: Down with snowflakes and hurrah for FREE SPEECH! also MAGA: You can't come to America unless you show us your social media posts and prove that you've never said hurty words about our president...
