LET THIS SINK IN—the U.S. now has no confirmed CDC director, no FDA commissioner, no Surgeon General, an NIH director with no medical license, and the last Acting CDC Director was a George Bush speechwriter. In fact—the only doctor/scientist we have in the White House is… Dr Oz.

Remember the "Trump Mobile" golden smartphone? Over a half million people paid a collective $59M+ in deposits to get one — and a year later not a single phone has shipped. Yet another Trump grift. https://popular.info/p/we-were-promised-a-gold-plated-trump

Rep. Ro Khanna nails why we're all so frustrated and angry.

Until she runs for president, down the road, I think having her in Congress is a great thing. She has goals and works her ass off for all of us, not just New Yorkers.

A really tough week. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Exactly this.

"Imagine you’re in a fight, and you punch the other guy. You hit him hard...That’s real damage. But he’s still standing. He’s still got his feet under him. He’s still got his friends around him. He still controls the door to the building...you haven’t won —" open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Soon to be appearing in midterm political ads for Democratic candidates nationwide. Thanks, Darnold. 🙏

"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'" These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now. Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

Eric Idle is 83 today. Happy Birthday Mr. Idle! Thank you for the laughter! 🎉 youtube.com/watch?v=uAzw...

Claims that Social Security benefits are now tax-free? FALSE. Millions of seniors will find out the hard way this tax season. What actually passed: ❌ Temporary tax deduction (expires 2028) ❌ Most seniors NOT eligible ❌ Weakens Social Security trust funds

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

COLBERT on Thin-Skinned Trump’s fascist @jamestalarico.bsky.social ban: “Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this… They're trying to control what we watch, say, read — The most dangerous kind of cancel culture is the kind that comes from the top."

I don't speak Spanish. This show rocked!

best. wedding. story. EVAR.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

No more business as usual. #AbolishICE

“I took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I view after Jan. 6, the Republican Party is a domestic enemy to our Constitution. I can’t get any colder than that, can I?” Jesse Ventura said. nypost.com/2026/01/08/u...

I guess Epstein needed some sympathy?

We need an Epstein version of the Pentagon Papers.

BREAKING: The DOJ has filed its opposition to my motion for expedited processing of the EPSTEIN TRAINING VIDEOS. They're arguing that there's NO WIDESPREAD PUBLIC INTEREST. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-doj-re...

Phillis Wheatley, first published African-American female poet, died #OTD in 1784. Born in W. Africa, sold into slavery at 7 & one of the best-known poets in 18th-century America. Her achievements were a catalyst for the fledgling antislavery movement. poetryfoundation.org/poets/philli...#OTD#poetry

Unacceptable.

Yup- why is this creature involved in the talks with Russia

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

62 years ago, a day I will never forget.

Mamdani just played Trump without sacrificing immigrants, Muslims, workers, or the LGBTQ. Trump did his transactional charm offensive, Mamdani countered without compromising. He won big and this is the man the Democratic Establishment still won't embrace. What more do people need to see?

Magnificent banner made by a Madrid socialist group for event surrounding the 50th anniversary of the death of Franco.

“I do think that Maga is a fascist movement, I do think that the intent of the administration is to destroy opposition and protest and is to create an authoritarian system”

Trump’s order that DOJ investigate ties between Epstein and Democrats is deviously brilliant—an ongoing investigation can be used as a reason, even if pretextual, to block public disclosure of the file. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/u...

Smotrich and Ben-Gvir cannot exit this government fast enough. They are lower than dirt (I'm being polite)

Spanberger wins Virginia governor race, I hope this represents a blue wave tonight.

Apparently, he's never taken the subway, he's never been unable to us a flight of stairs, never tried to access an area without a subway stop.

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit. Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages. If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

We should stop calling it the second term and just call it what it is, The Grift

rollcall.com/factbase/tru... I tried reading this, I did try. It's a painful mashup of random nonsense. It's not even a poor presidential speech, it's just nonsense. How insulting to our military leaders!

Trump's administration is surging federal officers in Chicago — not to improve public safety, but to create chaos. Officials came here for a few hours for publicity, then left without providing any answers or information. I'm asking you to join me in demanding answers.

WHAT THE HELL

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...
