CBS: “Ken Paxton calls you Tala-freako.” 🔥 @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. He’s the most corrupt politician in 🇺🇸. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.”

This hurts our ability to respond to climate change, to new pandemics, and to right wing demagoguery. events.standupforscience.net/stand-up-for...

The attack science funding barely hurts society right now. But it will soon. And it will set us back a hundred years or more. New medicines, green energy, all of it is under threat. Sign up now to fight. @standupforscience.net @cdelawalla.bsky.social events.standupforscience.net/stand-up-for...

There isn't a SINGLE issue they are attacking Talarico on. That should tel you how afraid they are. They cannot win on the issues, so they send freak boy to demean Talarico in the most vile way possible.

Trump used the threat of a lawsuit against his own government to pressure nearly $2 billion out of the U.S. Treasury. No jury decided this. No judge approved it. Congress never voted on it. But your taxpayer dollars funded it.

extrajudicial goons attack citizens.

Good adjustment

The former acting director of the Kennedy Center being partisan, petty, and insulting with prominent entertainer. No wonder the grossly renamed venue is having trouble attracting both talent and audiences now.

Correct. Trump raped her! Gavin isn’t afraid to say it plainly!

🥴😂🥴

WATCH — @timmiller.bsky.social : “Paxton’s crimes weren’t just minor crimes… the NRSC comms director said what he put his family through is repulsive and disgusting… a horrible human being in addition to a criminal.”

The US government was legally required to release the remaining Epstein files 169 days ago. They still have not done so.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.  He embodies the broken system we’re running against. It’s time to come together: The People vs. Ken Paxton

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

“It’s just burning. I just wanted to try to keep people safe.” ICE fired pepper spray at Senator Andy Kim and protesters outside a detention facility in New Jersey. Not another penny should go to these out-of-control agencies — and when we regain power, we will hold all of these thugs accountable.

David Frum on Twitter: "Regular reminder that Donald Trump’s core competency is not dealmaking with powerful counter-parties. It is duping gullible victims."

⛔ " #TelAviv is witnessing 'rare' civil disobedience‼️ A group of #Isräeli refuseniks are burning their draft papers on the main street. The reason for refusal: 'We will not kill children in #Palestine and #Lebanon.' The penalty: military prison..

That's Really Fucked Up, Florida.....

@bbkogan.bsky.social is right. We just got home from the show at the Boston garden. I sure hope he campaigns for some candidates this fall. His voice is powerful, authentic and American.

Obama had 11 attempts on his life. Biden had 5 attempts on his life. Bet you never heard of them. Because MSM never reported on them. Why? The WH asked for them not to, so not to invite copycat scenarios. Trump promotes them.

It's not that hard, folks. Jan 6 was an inside job by the Biden administration which wasn't in office yet, where they were trying to prevent Biden from becoming president by killing Mike Pence. What's so hard to get?

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

Funny how the all the people ransacking the Capitol on January 6 were liberals, plants, and ANTIFA—until there was money to be made from it.

He’s never too busy for golf outings, donor dinners, or photo ops — even during international crises. But attending his own son’s wedding? Suddenly the presidency is just too demanding.

Apparently having a problem with child rape and child trafficking is enough to push one out of the GOP. #Massie

BREAKING: It took eight tries, but the Senate has voted 50-47 to advance a resolution to limit Trump’s war on Iran. Bill Cassidy flipped after losing his primary, joining Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul in voting with Democrats. John Fetterman was the only Dem to vote against.

The violence carried out against Muslims in our country is the embodiment of all the anti-Muslim rhetoric from those in power in our country. This is why condemning anti-Muslim rhetoric is equally as important as condemning anti-Muslim violence. Words lead to actions.

If apartheid is defined as separate rules for people based on ethnicity, we now live in a gender apartheid country in the US where body autonomy for women only is decided by which state you live in.

Van Hollen to Blanche: "Two days ago, you even suggested there was 'a ton of evidence' the 2020 election was rigged against Trump. And here you are a budget hearing asking for taxpayer funds when you're using them to punish Trump's adversaries, reward his friends, and pursue his personal vendettas."

I’m gonna post this video every day so we NEVER FORGET what Donald Trump did to the USA on Jan 6th

Trump was disrespected on this trip to China from the minute he got off the plane when Xi Jinping was not there to greet him. Trump came away with nothing. No treaty. No understanding. Just a warning from China about Taiwan. The Trump admin is an embarrassing failure.

No filter. None.

Cognitive function failing in real time. How will this be normalized?

Incredibly interesting. Yes, I have heard similar comments directed against women during my career. Way past time to speak up when I - or other men in the room - hear these questions.

Brilliant cartoon

America will never be “great” as long as it keeps refusing to confront its original sin: racism. Not as a footnote. Not as “the past.” Not as a “both sides” debate. And every time this country gets close to progress, the backlash shows up: louder, meaner, and better funded.

These women are so smart and so funny. Have a watch to see Kevin O'Leary made fun of in a most wholesome, brilliant manner.

Maybe on a scale of A to Z where Z is the highest grade.

MeidasTouch: What grade would you give Trump on the war with Iran? Sen. Marshall (R-KS): I would have to give him an A.

It’s getting more and more expensive trying to survive!
