Democratic House Rep. Troy Carter to RFK Jr. in the HHS budget hearing:

GOP - *gerrymanders*

DEMS - hey stop that no fair

GOP - *gerrymanders even more*

DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue

SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely*

DEMS - *start gerrymandering*

GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭

It’s democracy vs fascism…we’re all
“down in the mud” now

Oh noez! “Rhetorical hyperbole.” I’d bet the bourbon that this is the way his Patel’s lawsuit against the Atlantic goes as well.

The revolution starts now
When you rise above your fear
And tear the walls around you down
The revolution starts here
Where you work and where you play
Where you lay your money down
What you do and what you say

The
revolution
starts
now.

No Work. No School. No Shopping. May Day.

Huge congratulations to Virginia voters—and to Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA
for leading the charge.

#Virginia #VoteYes #FightBack

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

Weird war, where the winner gets skyrocketing gas prices, inflation and market crashes while the loser gets control over 20% of global oil flow.

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

Senate votes 52-46 to proceed to the Republican budget resolution for a bill that can grant up to $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol, bypassing a filibuster.

Fully along party lines with Grassley (R) and Warner (D) missing the vote.

Now <50 hours debate then vote-a-rama.

Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.

A Life Hack for the Ultra-Wealthy Is Going Mainstream More families who can afford it are hiring a house manager, a kind of “chief of staff for the home.”

Seems like another step back for egalitarianism…
