They’re traumatizing kids.

We are so fucked.

Psaki: Comer was a little slow to move forward with the subpoenas, at least in my view. Moskowitz: That’s actually his regular speed. He’s just a little slow in general.

I’m 71. Older Daughter just said she’s going to schedule Covid and flu shots BEFORE the 19th, because the Regulatory Board meets then, and may have more shot restrictions! Covid is on the rise again!

California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions. This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

They don’t care if you have papers or not. What they care about is whether you look like an immigrant from south of the border.

Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing

Yes……. WTF

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.

ICE kidnapping a mother as her child begs the officers not to take her. Heartbreaking 💔 😢

If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.

The scenery at Zion National Park in Utah, USA, is truly breathtaking! #FridayFeeling #FridayMorning

All the news is bad…bad bad bad. I just went outside to literally touch some grass. While sitting next to my Verbena, a hummingbird flew around them right next to me. It took him a few seconds to realize I was there before he flew off. It was the break I needed. Fuck Trump.

A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship. Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.

Today’s update from Weirdo HQ.

The Fed is like that character in Clerks who keeps saying he wasn't even supposed to be working that day. Yes, I'm genuinely sorry, this does suck, but it's your job right now and you have to do it. Saying you're not supposed to be political and hoping it passes will not make it pass.
