You can’t erase what was witnessed. Everyone saw it with their own eyes and ears.

Chicagoans still say Sears Tower and Marshall Field's. It's going to be a while before we adopt any of the new names introduced in 2025, long enough that perhaps the name changes may never get Congressional approval.

Swipe texting on my iPhone autocorrected "thank you" to "taco you", and somehow that seems appropriate too. I wish you tacos! 😅

Exactly. Let’s see both then.

The road to hell is paved with the souls of men like Marco Rubio.

This is how it’s done, No Bull 💩, No drama and No Grandstanding!

Striking. After Texas banned abortion, ER visits for early miscarriage rose 25% and blood transfusions surged 54%. Doctors delayed care like D&Cs out of fear of prosecution. More women nearly bled to death. buff.ly/egXhmm7 #medsky #ObGynsky 🛟🧪

Just wow.

Why Colbert's cancellation marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Ken Paxton asking for privacy in the aftermath of his divorce announcement - ah, the privilege of being a white man vs being a woman in Texas

Shame on Etsy for allowing "Alligator Alcatraz" merchandise to be sold on its site. Profiting off supporting a concentration camp is crossing way over the line.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

You're dead naming military bases after fervent state rights believers while ordering the Marines into California?

"Do you hear the people sing?" 😅

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

If you wonder why men *obsessed* with the United States having more children are kidnapping children and sending them to other countries, those children were the incorrect color.

What Senator Van Hollen did was important. It got Americans focused on the extrajudicial shenanigans of the Trump administration. And the resulting blowback rattled Trump. It is no coincidence that the very next day he starting distancing him from decisions to sling Garcia into a concentration camp.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

A baseball hat gets Kilmar Abrego García sent to a hellish prison, possibly for life. But an armed mob attacking the Capitol, beating cops, and trying to overturn an election? Apparently that’s patriotism. Justice in America depends on who you are, not what you do.

Marth Stewart went to prison for insider trading on *one* stock. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought *17* stocks just before Donald Trump declared his "pause" in tariffs that caused those stocks to rise in value. How many others were tipped off? How many stocks did Donald buy? Ivanka? Mike Johnson?

Where do they get old cars for movies? And where are they stockpiling today's cars for future movies?

When they loudly scream the quiet part in market manipulations.

Your child is more likely to die from measles than get beat by one of their trans peers in an athletic competition, and I wish our government's actions would reflect that.

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

Lawlessness is intentionally removing prisoners from the US courts' jurisdiction so you have no accountability when you deprive them of their rights and do other awful things to them. The thing you monsters forgot: The courts still have jurisdiction over YOU for doing that.

Several hundred of us at the Hands Off protest in Palatine, and no crime, no vandalism, just getting our message out there. This is what democracy looks like!

We are now living in a country were you can be snatched off the street by plainclothes gestapo and disappeared if you write something that rubs Donald Trump the wrong way. Probably not an ideal situation as Donald resents anyone using the First Amendment to say something that doesn't flatter him.

Rumeysa Ozturk didn't create a "ruckus," she exercised her First Amendment rights (which extends to noncitizens). If you want to expel foreigners creating a ruckus, expel Elon Musk, who is currently setting fire to our government. (And didn't you pardon people who caused a REAL ruckus on Jan 6?)

I hope that's accounted for in the reporting of waste

Our stock market is crashing. Our economy is contracting. Our government is dismantling. Our allies are fleeing. Our grocery prices are rising. But at least we now call it "The Gulf of America." So it all evens out.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Trump is driving the United States' economy like it were a self-driving Tesla, right into a concrete embankment.

"America is back". Back in the stone age.

Many folks are on Medicaid but don’t know it because their state calls it something else. Hoosiercare in IN. Peach care in GA. Badgercare in WI. They don’t realize their medical care is on the chopping block. What does your state call it? Let’s get replies going and the word out!

The shareholders at Tesla would probably like to ask a similar question: "Elon, what did you get done for us last week, other than further alienating our most likely customers with your obnoxious fascist stunts?

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

The White House profile pic on Twitter shows America in darkness. In only this superficial White House were introspective enough for this to be intentional.

Gender affirming care... doesn't that include breast augmentation, breast reduction, erectile dysfunction, hair thinning treatment - regardless of who you are? Why is it only outlawed for certain people? Hmmm.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Every country that Trump slaps a tariff on should retaliate by slapping a 1000% tariff on all Tesla and Starlink products, if only to show Elon that there is a downside to using our public government as his private playpen.

Today is February 1, the start of Black History Month

Let's be very clear that this happened under the Trump administration. Actions have consequences, unfortunately the worst in this case. Condolences to the families of those who perished in this tragic crash.

Reminder that some of Trump's first actions when he took office were gutting the FAA and freezing the hiring of air traffic controllers. Maybe this crash happens anyway, but Trump is making Americans less safe.

The DC control tower was understaffed. There was only one controller, controlling both helicopters and planes. Those are supposed to be separate jobs. We need to investigate whether Donald Trump's hiring freeze last week played a role.
