CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it. Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Exactly

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

🚨NEW: Kerry Kennedy has announced Late Show Host Stephen Colbert is the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. REPOST to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

All the new ICE officers better be forced to work without pay during the shutdown, just like the military, air traffic controllers, VA staff, and other essential federal workers. ICE goons don't deserve special treatment.

He had is issues, not denying that. A lot of conspiracy theories about secret tunnels and Marilyn Monroe, then of course after his death. But you can’t deny he was one of the best presidents. I still have this magazine. My mom saved it.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov is not just serving a #CupOfJoe to the people of Illinois, but to every state. Get out your phones & record what ICE is doing! If the government won't hold them accountable, We the People will.

Incompetent gop lawmakers, like Nancy Mace, care so little for the lives & health of Americans that they'll eagerly peddle dangerous medical misinformation in the hopes of getting a pat on the head from the orange.

He’s right- I’m scared

Reminder that Stephen Miller received ZERO votes yet he’s running the executive branch of our government.

As Governor Pritsker says, DJT should be removed by the 25th. But that would leave us a VP become Pres. who makes Dan Quayle look like Einstein. And Miller would still be calling the shots. Would this be worse, or better? Next in line is Johnson. It’s like whack a mole.

Question: If a POTUS was actually a Russian asset with the specific intent of destroying the military power, market strength, social unity, economic hegemony & global influence of the United States from within, what would that person do DIFFERENTLY than what that asshole is doing right now?

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.

My favorite Peter Sellers scene.

Someone please make sure that all those “gold” artifacts in the WH are inventoried as national property, because when that carpet bagger leaves, his bags will be full. Of that I am sure. Oh, and lock up the cabinet where they keep secret documents, eh?

Bravo to New Mexico on two fronts: 📌 Universal Childcare for every family 📌 Special Session next week to address Medicaid cuts and exploding insurance premiums caused by Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill and to take on the corporate hospital crisis This should be nationwide!

Love it.

The UN Speech that should have been covered wall to wall

The Republican Way

Why do we have 2 systems of justice? Cushy prisons with “work release” for pedophiles who kidnapped and trafficked children, and hard labor for a 19 year old poor kid who got bagged selling a pound of weed. Jail should be JAIL! It’s supposed to be a disincentive to conduct crimes. Am I right?

Please pass it on...
