Even worse, Musk the wealthiest man in the world- removed food aide from the 40 million of the globes poorest. Then he cut food aide & school lunches from the poorest Americans! NEVER did this man give a penny to help the needy. Never did he use his money to build hospitals, libraries, parks 👇👇👇

Read this. Then read it again.

The former Justice Department special counsel told the House Judiciary Committee that his team developed "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" that Trump took part in a criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election. n.pr/3N5wwln

After Charlie Kirk’s murder, Rob Reiner responded with empathy and grace. After Rob Reiner’s murder, MAGA and their felon celebrated it. That’s the difference.

The is a declaration and act of war without congressional approval, and imperialistic jingoism.

If it is not clear to everyone in the US THAT the GQP has no clue what this country’s problems are they are clueless and not paying ATTENTION!!! #ChuckandJim

#ProudBlue House Speaker Mike Johnson says he won't call a vote to extend enhanced subsidies under the ACA, effectively guaranteeing they will expire at the end of this month.” Congress has 💯 free healthcare BUT will continue to deny healthcare to the 🇺🇸 people 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾 apple.news/AvIdWLgtHSKS...

I am convinced America crossed an event horizon thirteen years ago, when even the deaths of elementary school aged children at the hands of a monster weren't enough for their government to say "enough is enough". Hard not to think that Americans would rather have their guns over their children.

Undecided voter: “How can someone like you convince me that my vote matters” James Talarico: “They wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you from voting if your vote didn't matter — Texas is one of the hardest places to vote in the entire country. That is by design”

Rest in Peace Rob & Michele Reiner

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

In a world where fewer and fewer people concern themselves with the plight of others, the loss of Rob Reiner, who cared deeply about humanitarian causes, feels that much more devastating. RIP: 1947-1925. [Selfie: July 2022, NYC]

Sounds about right.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

This is absolutely amazing. #Science 🧪 The proteasome, cleaving proteins into antimicrobial peptides. Biology is a amazing “There’s something that we thought is so familiar and so well understood, and then boom — something totally unexpected and exciting comes out of it.” — Medzhitov

"..When the Secretary of Homeland Security can’t stay in a hearing long enough to answer basic questions and when the public trusts the protesters more than the person running the agency, you don’t have a messaging problem.

It wasn’t even close.

Everything Trump touches is transactional.

“He is not unstoppable and you are not without power” Remind yourself of this every day. Especially on the bad days.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

They are the reason Trump gets whatever he wants; even when the lower courts say "NO". 👇 Corrupt "conservative" SCOTUS.🤬

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

NEWS: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been RELEASED from ICE custody following today's order from a federal judge

Munchausen by Trump. Arsonist hawking fire extinguishers. Call it whatever you want, but it's all a big scam and MAGAts, you were conned. But don't cry to us. We warned you.

In case you ever needed proof that the Heritage Foundation is not a conservative organization, here we have them cheering on the Federal Government threatening to strip all funding from a state that does not make political decisions the President likes. Any true conservative would be howling.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

BREAKING: DOJ has failed to indict Letitia James for a THIRD time! It's like Christmas around here!

Hundreds of kids in S Carolina are being quarantined right now because of a measles outbreak. I don’t have patience for niceties when it comes to this crap, so if you’re an anti-vaxxer, keep your damn kids at home and don’t travel for the holidays. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.

But remember that we have NO money for breakfast/lunch in public schools for kids, no money for universal healthcare, no money for public school funding in general, etc. But we have tons of money for ICE raids, billionaire tax breaks, corporate bailouts, and strikes on unarmed boats.

CINCINNATI: “ICE agent arrested on domestic violence charges for for alleged assault, strangulation” www.wlwt.com/article/ice-...

Reporter: You said he would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd Trump: I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news. Whatever Hegseth decides is ok with me… Let me just tell you, you are an obnoxious reporter. Actually, a terrible reporter.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and moral, then it’s not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power. - Dwight Eisenhower

This is when I knew Xi was going to take this babbling fool to the cleaners, and us in the process. The Golden Age of Dipshittery.

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.
