I'm here in Washington working with my Democratic colleagues to protect healthcare for every American, but Republicans refuse to meet with us. I decided to attend Speaker Johnson’s press conference today to speak to him.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

Rollin' to State College Pa tomorrow for the #nokings rally!

On Saturday, August 16, hundreds of Latinx punks gathered at MacArthur Park for an evening of anti-authoritarian cumbia and hardcore ska punk as one of the venue’s 10 free summer concerts. By @jwhendricks.bsky.social Full story: lataco.com/ska-punk-mac...

"America we have a problem. The largest democracy in the world and yet a Texas governor would bend a knee to Donald Trump because he's afraid to lose an election fair and square."

Two can play that game.

Just a little profane trump-takedown (and I approve wholeheartedly):

Thought ol' @markhamillofficial.bsky.social might get a kick out of this one:

Good mornin’ America how are ya!

Good egg, Andy!

Glenn Thompson, PA15, is a sellout dickhead.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

So a pathological liar says on the global stage that Iran’s nuclear sites were “obliterated.” Actual intel says that’s not true. Why would anyone believe the pathological liar who’s desperate to be seen as a strongman and a winner, if they’re not a cultist?

here's today's post: "fuckwit preznit ignored by Iran and Israel, sidelined by NATO" — rage-baby’s in a big mad because he doesn’t matter any more. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

Facts matter.

Grabbed this photo of Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go’s tonight at Cruel World. She absolutely ROCKS and her guitar says it all. ✊🏽

Spotted in Houston today

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

re trump and Musk -- its a phony feud. Elon thinks if he "takes on trump" it will restore sales for his bullshit cars. It won't work! #elonisanazi #phonyfeud #trumpisatraitor

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Chris Van Hollen to Marco Rubio: You've made a mockery of our country's refugee process, turning it into a system of global apartheid, where political ideology and race more than truth or need matter.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

Okay, who's going to start the Atheist charter school? The Supremes will just have to be "poised" to require their funding too. www.npr.org/2025/04/30/n...

“Every time a newspaper dies, even a bad one, the country moves a little closer to authoritarianism”. R. Kruger Spoiler: Your newspapers aren’t dying, they’re being killed. My latest on Substack:

Just parking this here until I can confirm.

I need a new "run with ralph" bumper sticker! I always voted for him in the primary (if he was on the ballot). Then for the nominee in November, as any good Dem would. Still making good sense ...dude is 91!

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Via my copy of Dutchified English, volume something or other. I live in amish country right in the middle of Pa, so I can get away with this little bit-a humor. #USA #flag #pledge #amish

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

I have contributed in the past to the opinion pages of the Washington Post and have been proud and honored to be published there. Billionaire Jeff Bezos, in his kowtowing determination to reduce free speech and control the public’s thinking, is trashing the paper’s legacy.

That's quite a fuckin god they have! #hypochristians

I shared this note with the owner of the Washington Post this morning.

Happy Birthday to Jackie Gleason! ...he even made a cameo on Bugs Bunny! (google half fare hare) #honeymooners
