I'm over-the-moon HAPPY about the primary results in NY last night. HOWEVER, I understand AND appreciate that what works in NY will not work in other parts of the country. We need BOTH! That's why the Dem Party is a Big Tent Party: we CAN have Mamdani & Talarico. AOC & Pete Buttigieg.

👇👍🚨🚨🚨👍🤯 really Jeff‼️ The solution is not data centres, IMHO THE SOLUTION IS TO TAX PEOPLE LIKE YOU, JEFF AND MAKE SURE YOU DON’T GET ANY FURTHER TAX BREAKS. That’s the evil in the world you make me sick Jeff.🤮🤮🤮👇🤯😡🤬😡🤬

Republicans claim to care about children. Then gutted food benefits for 770,000 of them. Predatory policies that harm kids, stress families, and make having children harder. Pro-life? Name one thing they’ve done to prove it. #RepublicansStarveChildren #USDemocracy

RFK Jr. and Donald Trump are making Americans more sick. They have cut $16 billion from cancer and diabetes research - and are cutting programs to support pandemic response and vaccine research. Ranking Member @robertgarcia.house.gov and Oversight Dems are investigating.

And SNAP benefits just ran out for 776,000 kids. #RepublicansStarveChildren

In other words they caved. BTW, show me where Jesus said ANYTHING whatsoever about the love between a same gendered couple? Hint: he NEVER did! Come at me about knowledge about the Gospel, because I actually know it very well. He gave y’all very SIMPLE commands. #Pride #Pinks

If there IS anything slitlike, he knows it just looks that way because the paint is lifting sharply from the algae. Photo show this. No one jumped in unseen and slashed away. One of Trump's big tells is that he never tells a lie without then turning it into a bigger lie. #UnfitToServe #GetHimOut

Gotta love this!

Coming to town near you… Ask your representatives and current candidates running for your local government seats where they stand — and vote accordingly. Politicians making backroom deals with power companies and tech companies is harmful to our communities.

The Trump administration somehow thinks arresting people will make this whole story go away. trib.al/FOIUMJk

In this election cycle, courts have been used more to restrict voting rights than to expand them, Marc Elias says. “We need more people to be in this fight.” Help us stand up for democracy across the country: https://bit.ly/4qskS3m

So, 70-80 years ago, post WW2, people from colonized nations moved there for jobs not available in their occupied lands, brought their food with them. Your ancestors were able to try it and fell in love with it. They declared the food British while resenting the people themselves living with them...

Pay attention to this👇 the analysis is correct‼️

Haven’t posted this in awhile… Feels right. #Caturday

If Qatar gave the flying palace to Trump, it's a wide open bribe. If they gave it to the Defense Department, it's for the use of the United States and if Trump takes it when he leaves, he's stealing from the Treasury. Apparently, they believe if you do your thieving in public, it doesn't count.

From the birthplace of Juneteenth, our bus tour stopped in Galveston to ask a powerful question: If we were building a new nation today, what would we create? Gathering at the historic Reedy Chapel AME Church, community members joined us for the Declaration of a New Nation.

NEW: Almost a year after Trump’s domestic policy bill passed, at least 770,000 children are no longer receiving SNAP benefits. In Arizona, the number of children receiving SNAP has dropped by more than 200,000 since July 2025 — a 55% decline.

ICE has spent the last year finding new ways to block Congress from doing its job.     The latest is a policy requiring advance notice and signed consent forms before members of Congress can speak to a single detainee during an oversight visit.  www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

Iran's team arrived in Mexico wearing "168" pins. 168 is the number of Iranian schoolgirls the United States killed on February 28, 2026. Apparently, they are playing *on* the field, but not off.

So many questions about the ICE custody death of Philly immigrant Tuan Van Bui, child of the Vietnam War, welcomed here in 1990, violently arrested in 2025 The biggest: Why do other detainees tell such a different story from ICE about how he died? My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/tuan...

Healthy people don’t need to see 22 specialists for a checkup. Trump’s 4th physical in less than 18 months doesn’t convince anyone he is healthy. We all know he is unwell and not fit to be President. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

They're afraid of being called stupid and crooked so they just eat the shit he serves up. With very few exceptions they're failing us.

A self-proclaimed Marxist living in Germany feels entitled to influence American elections while hiding behind a VPN. That’s crazy work.

screworm outbreak is another good opportunity to remind americans that government is what protects us from things like this and not the magical free market. want safe food? government, bitch.

Defense Secretary Hegseth’s "war in religion" centers on his use of militant Christian rhetoric & nationalist ideology to frame U.S. military operations—specifically the war w/Iran—as a divine struggle. This has fundamentally altered Pentagon's approach to faith & warfare. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

How do you feel about defense dept declaring which religions it will recognize? How does it feel that the military does not officially RECOGNIZE your faith or that the govt is now classifying your faith in a category of “no religion” or “other” knowing that U.S. was founded on religious freedom?
