Some progressives & Democrats need to stop justifying refusing to vote or 3rd party voting by saying Biden "didn't do anything."

He did a whole damn lot. Facts matter. And so does a young liberal SCOTUS justice who will protect civil rights for decades.

Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.

Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

A president should not be allowed to announce government policies or decisions on a platform that he owns.

Trump labor secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigns amid misconduct investigation Chavez-DeRemer, entangled in string of controversies, leaving for private sector, president’s spokesperson says

Something is happening in Maine.

It's now completely embarrassing and painful to be American.
This America disgusts me.

On this 4/20, even with legalization in sight, there are still tens of thousands of people in prison for nonviolent cannabis “crimes.”

Legalization isn’t enough. Everyone caught up in prohibition deserves freedom and a clean record.

Sorry, MAGA, but it’s true. 🤣

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

BREAKING: New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history.

The Strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply.

Nope, I don’t think he stands for that, so we’ll agree not to agree on this one. I was specifically referencing the age thing which you brought up.

Mills is running for a 6 year term, promised only one term, after which we go through all this again, and that has to be factored in here. It’s not just age on its own. Warren is not running for Maine Senate seat right now. Mills is.

Lutnick: "The worst thing is the sucking sound of how many people try to suck off of the US government."

(Is he serious with this? He's projecting, right?! Who actually IS doing the sucking...? 🙄)

Why does he need a ballroom when he has no balls?

If old people need to do a second driving test to continue driving in old age there definitely needs to be some better controls on having someone completely senile continue to be allowed to run a country.

The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.

Apparently like every day.

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

KARL: Is Trump really prepared to go back to full-on war? Is he prepared to destroy every power plant & bridge?

WALTZ: Well, all options are on the table, absolutely. That's not a war crime

K: He's saying every bridge in the country. That's not a war crime?

W: That would be an escalatory ladder

It'd be hilarious if it weren’t so pathetic.

Sometimes I think my life sucks and then I realize I could be someone going on TV to try to logically explain and defend words of a madman, and at that point my life looks pretty good.

Thank you to those so eager to support the campaign that they rush the stage and try to (illegally) hand me cash.

The short version: Talks are happening “tomorrow evening” in Islamabad, and if they fall apart Trump’s threatening war crimes again.

He toned down the wording this time, not the intent.

There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.
