WATCH: “Johnny, you blatantly lied.”
Rep. Johnny Garrett, running for Congress, RUNS 🏃🏻 from us + Tennessean reporter Vivian Jones to 🦆 Duck Q’s about his lie that undocumented immigrants commit 50% of crimes in TN
(Per the AG it’s 2%, 90% of those non-violent/traffic. Also we’d love details.)
Thinking about all the Black and brown parents who've had their children taken from them or wound up in jail for far less.
Meanwhile in neighboring Tennessee...
Yet another Pinocchiogles lie 🤥 — Ogles survives on super pac support.
Sadly for him his mask-off racism has dried up much of the cash. Raggedy Andy’s down bad in the money department. 😕 💰

Byeeeeee.
Americans deserve a Labor Secretary who will fight for their rights — not someone fighting scandals and allegations their family members are sexually assaulting federal staff.
It’s time for Hegseth and Patel to go next.
A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑
In a nutshell. 😊
The Admiral giving rabbit ears to Timmy on the Jumbotron while the Spurs crowd gives them both a standing ovation might be my new favorite thing. Just 🖤🩶 the comraderie the Spurs create -#porvida
mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.
In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.
This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

And, Jared’s, Ivanka’s, Donny Jr.’s and Eric’s!!! (Melania can retain custody of Baron, but forfeit Mar-a-lago.)
Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...
Now, we are more likely to believe releases from the Ayatollah’s Press Office than trust ANYTHING that the 🍊💩 has to say…
Got our solar panels installed this AM. They came at 8:30am and we're gone by 1:30pm. 13 panels and 10kwh battery.
We can't export to the grid yet (the network operator has been flooded with new requests) but we charged our car with the sun this afternoon. Great feeling, strongly recommend.
So, that is three departing FEMALE cabinet members within 4 weeks…
Living under Donald Trump is like living with an abusive husband whose first move is to isolate you from everyone who loves you. Cut off the support system, poison the relationships, make sure there’s nobody left to run to. Then he can do whatever he wants. That’s exactly what he’s done to America.
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.

We've all seen the videos of ICE pulling people out of their cars, shooting citizens with pepper balls, and even worse killing Americans in the streets.
This is not normal. And it cannot continue.
ICE needs commonsense guardrails NOW.

Nobody likes a “things could be worse” politician. It ignores the struggles of the current reality with no promise for improvement.
Keep Walking The Walk,Mayor Mamdani.......
Yes, when you are finally out of office, you incompetent and ridiculously stupid buffoon.
Khanna: "You have the pope lecturing America about possible war crimes. You have the president threatening to destroy all power plants. What have we achieved? We've created devastation."
If you ask me, Sen. Jon Ossoff is sounding more and more like a potential 2028 presidential candidate.
