Yes, support for conservative ideology has always been about racism, as Thaddeus Stevens and Abraham Lincoln agreed about the founding of the GOP

The U.S. is in an unprecedented crisis. A convicted criminal holds the office of the presidency (unconstitutionally, I might add) and is being abetted by a corrupt and broken SCOTUS and GOP Congress. Our constitution has no mechanism to repair it. It must be amended.

The Trump-Republican “Big Beautiful Bill” is actually a “Big Ugly Nightmare.” Much of what’s included in it will begin in 2026. Here’s what you should know.

MAGA. Congratulations, dumbasses. Elect a president with numerous bankruptcies and well...this is what you get. washingtonpost.com/business/2025/12/27/corporate-bankruptcies-economy/?itid=hp-top-table-main_p001_f001

"Educating our youth is the foundation of the world" reflects the idea that investing in young people's knowledge, critical thinking, and character builds strong societies and ensures a prosperous future, making it crucial for progress and solving global challenges.

🤮

This is what we need to see from every person whose name has come up in the files demand that they all be released.

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas. Remember: these are people who entered the country legally. Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

Get a discharge petition going!

Ukraine is not Russia. Greenland is not the U.S. Stand against bullies. Everywhere.

DOGE will go down as an epic and disastrous fiasco.

Take some time over the next few days to watch my interview with Gov JB Pritzker. I think you will learn something about politics, elections and the fight for democracy. youtu.be/oA0uttMI5rc?...

Man, this is a real shocker, but it almost seems like she doesn't remotely know what the fuck she's doing and has no right being in this important role?

20 State AGs have sued Russell Vought for trying to starve the CFPB of funding. Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20B to consumers. Without the Bureau, financial predators and scammers will have an easier time picking your pocket.

RIP Elise Stefanik’s political career. Everything Trump Touches Dies.

The Trump DOJ is running scared and so they're putting out this kind of dreck on social media:

@maryltrump.bsky.social: “[Donald Trump] is terrified. He knows his poll numbers are terrible. He knows his policies are unpopular... He knows on some deep level he’s losing his cognitive abilities at an alarming rate”

“By all accounts, you are letting industry rewrite the rulebook, while simultaneously choosing not to enforce the rules that remain,” Sen. Cantwell wrote to the two Trump-appointed pipeline regulators at the Transportation Department. By @jessecoburn.bsky.social

Oh, the irony. www.theatlantic.com/family/2025/...

Romney is absolutely right.

Spencer Kuvin, attorney for Epstein survivors: “The fact that the government is not releasing all information only reaffirms the need for FOIA litigation. There is absolutely no reason that the Dept. of Justice has not reviewed this material for release in the last 18 years”

Hell has frozen over. I agree with something Trump signed. www.wmur.com/article/trum...

Trump's speech last night was demented. My thoughts. www.thedailybeast.com/its-time-to-...

Remember this if nothing else: Every shouted lie in Trump’s outburst tonight was an effort to cover up a Trump failure or crime. Every single one.

McDonald’s USA — Employee: $15/hr, no benefits — Big Mac: $5.79 McDonald’s Denmark — Employee: $22/hr, 6 weeks vacation, 1 year paid maternity leave, life insurance, pension — Big Mac: $5.49 Tell us more about how raising the minimum wage would affect the cost of hamburgers.

This is extortion. This is the president of the United States admitting he is extorting another country.

Nazi shit right here.

A September brookings.edu report, “Who Bears the Burden of Climate Inaction?”, found climate -driven changes in home insurance premiums, home energy costs, and smoke effects on mortality are $400-$900 per household per year, with much higher costs—upward of $1,300 a year—in the hardest-hit places.

ICYMI: Speaker Johnson is REFUSING to let the House vote on a bill to extend the ACA tax credits this month. People are buying health coverage NOW—January is TOO LATE. Republican Leaders won't do a thing to help families keep their health care.
