Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t want you to know my name. That’s not an accident. I’m Shawn Harris. I’m a Democrat, a husband and father, a Retired Brigadier General, and a farmer. I’m running in a special election to replace MTG. I’m the only Democrat in a jungle primary against 17 Republicans.

19 states will raise their minimum wages to ring in the new year for 2026, with most of them reaching a rate of $15 per hour or higher

Mary Sheffield was sworn in as Detroit’s 76th mayor, becoming the first woman to hold the office in the city's 324-year history

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

There were 220 murders in Philadelphia in 2025 and 133 in Baltimore. Those are the lowest murder counts since 1966 and 1965 respectively in those cities.

Chicago reported 416 murders in 2025. That's the fewest recorded there since 1965.

"Only I, super rich guy, can fix it." Enough of this.

DHS publicly fantasizing about massive state violence should be taken seriously, and warrants labels such as fascist and white supremacist. But don't lose sight of the fact that it's beyond their capabilities. The regime's desire for authoritarian repression is bottomless. Its capacity isn't close.

This is the way. Show the truth that dismantles the lies.

I went to all 10 of the daycares Nick Shirley featured in his viral video. I got inside 4 and found children. Lots of children: www.startribune.com/day-care-fra...

Vaccines don’t just prevent deadly and dangerous diseases like measles, polio and COVID-19. A new study found that people who got the shingles vaccine had a 20% lower risk of developing dementia. buff.ly/nto1N07

Fact check: ✅Chicago's crime rate was already down ✅NG troops were never actually deployed in the city ✅Some did patrol a suburban immigration facility for just one day ✅We did have hundreds of federal agents here terrorizing the city & suburbs but Trump's guard plan in Chicago was foiled

Illinois, and Governor Pritzker beat him in court. That is why.

I find this emphasis on "the third world" so bizarre. And this whole "Homeland Security" campaign. Who is it for? Put aside the crappy graphic. Some long time ago, somebody set up the First World - the US and Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, industrialized and relatively wealthy. 1/

For 2026, one of our objectives should be to run these childish shitposters out of our government. Happy New Year! 6/6

Donald Trump’s lying again. He lost in court when Illinois stood up against his attempt to militarize American cities with the National Guard. Now Trump is forced to stand down.

This is a significant setback for his dictatorial program. He wanted us to become accustomed to armed soldiers in the cities. We pushed back. Organizations brought lawsuits. The Supreme Court said he couldn't do it. Keep pushing. Never give up.

This is dangerous. You are putting children and the people that work there in danger.

they wouldnt be doing this had the media shamed them for “theyre eating the pets” instead of treating it like a legit campaign issue. they wouldnt be doing it if the democratic leadership had made them pay a political price for gutter racist trash

the racism coming from the entire conservative movement targeting the somali community is so goddam disgusting and its just being completely ignored

It is vicious, vile, and nasty.

Your sandwiches suck anyway

Ringing in the New Year in 1979. Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. Happy New Year. 🎉

>1 million Americans died in a traumatic viral pandemic, and America responded in the most American way, which was to make it more likely people would die of diseases we’d already contained by tearing up the social contract in the name of “freedom” while disregarding the actual concept of freedom.

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

Earlier this year even the AARP was recommending that US travelers have a burner phone. A burner phone! It sounded extreme to some but not anymore given this treacherous administration: Phone Searches at the Border Are Up. How to Protect Your Privacy. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/t...

"Different political views" is a funny way to say "some people don't think you should have civil rights and refuse to acknowledge your basic personhood." Why the fuck would anyone who's not a Right winger themselves want to date a Right-wing dude?

It's always everyone else who's expected to "reach across the aisle" to make sure these pathetic crybabies don't get lonely and sad. But if you reach across the aisle, and then draw back a bloody stump where your arm used to be, you likely won't be interested in making that a habit!

This article is another example of the media's refusal to acknowledge any agency on the part of RWers. How about not spewing an ideology that's slightly to the Right of Attila the Hun? I'll bet that'll help the dinner conversation go better!

Democrats and everyone with a platform and a lick of basic decency should snuff this daycare conspiracy theory shit out right quick. If it takes hold it will unleash absolute chaos, because the right breathes stupidity like it’s air.

Talking with people at a holiday gathering here in Toronto last night, and when it came up, most of us nodded that we likely won’t ever visit the United States again. It’s a weird feeling, and weird to acknowledge in a group.

This is monstrous. He wants to turn the residents of the state against Walz and against the Somali-American population.

All based on a “gotcha” video claiming that 3 daycares had no kids. One hadn’t opened yet for the day; one is actually closed. Dude arrived with no I.D. No call ahead. They DIDN’T LET HIM IN! The fraud they’re referencing was investigated & prosecuted by the Biden DOJ. The ringleader was white.

Now I know who The Cookers are. Super cool.

gotta be the time I enjoyed cheese

Get your Flu shot. Check your pharmacy or doctor to see if you need a Covid shot or boosters. Years ago I put off the Tdap booster. Then I had whooping cough for nearly a year. Get. The. Booster.

probably not a great sign that Trump's assistant AG for civil rights uses a slur for people with disabilities

This is how you do it folks

Big congratulations to the “no new wars” crowd. You weren’t the only ones who willfully forgot Trump’s first term, ignored various things he and his team said in the four years after, and voted for a made up version—or didn’t vote while claiming it wouldn’t matter—but no one did it as hard as you.

You know what, shitbird? I have an idea. What about a VACCINE? There are several in late stages of development. Will you promote them so we can get “children back into the woods” as you say?

Lyme is one of many health problems caused & exacerbated by manmade climate change. A legitimate health secretary would acknowledge that. We actually had a pretty good Lyme vaccine but antivaxxers lied & said it gave people knee pain (it didn’t but knee pain?) & got manufacturer to pull it in 2002.

doesn't swing his arms like an american doesn't wiggle his hand like the queen can't name a single white sock comically foreign, WHAT DID HE MEAN

It's pretty clear that anyone who believes that the Chiefs stadium will pay for itself certainly wasn't convinced by the math.
