Trump promised an infrastructure bill for 4 years in his first term. Said it was coming in 2 weeks many times. Never delivered one. Democrats then delivered critically needed funding for crumbling infrastructure. Now Russ Vought is taking that away. But only in blue states.

I can’t bring myself to press the like button when I see these but will share. This is despicable!

This right here represents the real heart of America.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence. This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less. Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

Why would Democrats throw our support behind a budget deal that any day, any time, Donald Trump could just decide he doesn’t feel like honoring — and without getting anything in return to help families struggling with high costs? That would be a betrayal of the American people.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

G’mar chatima tova to everyone observing Yom Kippur. From Uptown to Crystal Lake to far beyond the bounds of the Ninth District, countless people are solemnly reflecting on the previous year and looking forward to the coming one. I join all of you in wishing for a better, more conciliatory world.

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.

We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.

I don’t have the ❤️ to press the like button on so many posts these days but they need to be shared. Our 1st amendment rights are being violated by the hour.

Two remarkable Ambassadors for our Planet, 99 year old Sir David Attenborough and 91 year old Dr. Jane Goodall. They’ve dedicated their lives to educate and protect.. 🌍 #janegoodall #davidattenborough #nature #chimpanzees #wildlife #environment #drjanegoodall #jane #sirdavidattenborough #bbc #bsky

Well isn’t this lovely. Opera star sings Habanera (from Carmen) in the airport (?) What a terrific voice. #opera I don’t care if they’re staged, we need more profl free public #music and #art.

Psaki: I felt a mixture of anger—a lot of anger—and emotional exhaustion about this today, as I’m sure many of you have, because we have been here so many times. And yet again, like clockwork, half the politicians in our country have little more to offer than thoughts and prayers.

RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.

I’m liking many of the ideas being presented by Chris Armitage in his substack “The Existential Republic” open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...
