Walz: "It's beyond me that apparently from the federal government, the Homeland Security director herself, has already determined who this person who, what their motive was, and they hadn't even been taken out of the vehicle. We're not living in a normal world."

Let me get this straight: Trump has a plan for a new ballroom, but barely has a concept of a plan to lower the cost of health care?

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law. Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it. No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors. That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

This's a good clip on the hate around Meghan, and the fact that the Duchess's purposefully, and successfully living her best life. 👇🏽 RomanticGrunge on TikTok #SussexSquad

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

I love in Star Trek where world is United, famine has been solved by replicators, $$$ has disappeared and science and discovery are lauded. People pursue their passions. Utopian dreams…

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

Authors, there are more and more ways to produce and distribute audiobooks without Amazon's ACX. If you're interested in producing audiobooks without Amazon, we've rounded a handful up: blog.libro.fm/how-authors-...

Believe in the magic of audiobooks 💫 Audiobooks are knowledge. Audiobooks are escape. Audiobooks are connection. Audiobooks are self-care.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

They get to endure what we’ve had to for ten years.

If you’re under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, they’re not hiding it:

Judge Carlos Mendoza in Florida has sided with authors and publishers in a lawsuit against the state's book ban, determining that the law violates free speech protections. It was ruled that Florida's ban on books that "describe sexual conduct" is too broad.

Ummmm. Whoo eee! It’s gettin hot up in here!

All our climate goals will fail as long as leaders & politicians are free to be lobbied by those profiting from perpetuating & accelerating the climate crisis. It’s obvious to the point of absurdity: end fossil fuel & corporate money in politics or end our kids’ chances of a survivable future.

While they distract you with Epstein, Repubs are moving towards a national abortion ban, restricting medications, & increasing surveillance on women. Folks, you don’t have to be pro-abortion to be pro-choice. Get govt out of our private lives! #Pinks #Onev1 #ProudBlue nwlc.org/understandin...

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "Before I went on Rogan's podcast, I went on Fox... I'm trying to go into places where Dems don't typically go because politics is about addition, not subtraction. If you want to maintain a pure, insular group, you don't want a political party, you want a social club."

My digital comics are all pay-what-you-want! The second-most expensive cat I got out of the woods is working hard at being my most expensive cat, so if you've been thinking about it, I'll take whatever you want to throw my way for these comics! (Pics of Babydoll the cat at the link)

The Trump admin just exempted over 100 chemical plants, sterilizers & coal facilities from Clean Air Act rules, rolling back protections that would’ve cut cancer risk by up to 96% for nearby communities.

“The city of Norman, Oklahoma, was prepared to build an automatic flood warning system this year… But in April, the Trump administration said it was ending the ‘wasteful and ineffective’ program that would have paid for it.”

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

Holy shit, at least it’s not a man.

The new name for Meg by USA TODAY seems to be resonating with squaddies: "British American Royal and Enterpraneaur." 💘 it. #sussexsquad

“There was always a sense that Meghan had to prove herself, prove herself worthy of Britain, prove herself worthy of her husband., prove herself worthy of her position in the royal family. It’s a lot to ask of any individual.” #SussexSquad

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off millions of acres of our public lands, which would change the Mountain forever to fund tax breaks for billionaires. Contact your Senators today and tell them to stop this bill: p2a.co/XYbmWf1?p2as...
