The corruption is just stunning.

How tragic that you could publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish, then re-publish a cartoon like this over and over again...

A reminder:

A poll he doesn’t like: “It’s a rigged poll.”

An election he loses: “The election was rigged. It was stolen.”

A court ruling that goes against him: “The entire process was rigged. Judge was unfair to me.”

Media coverage he doesn’t like: “Fake news. I’ll sue em.”

What a weak, pathetic, coward.

Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.

Virginia, don’t forget to vote YES tomorrow(4/21)!

Well, at least the BBC is covering this.

Imagine how freaky Thanksgiving is around their house.

Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned today, a week after this:

The only apparent qualifications for being part of Trump’s Cabinet, with a very few exceptions, are:

- Being white (“Central Casting”)
- Being good on TV (“Central Casting”)
- Being Republican or willing to switch to become a Republican.
- Being slavishly obedient to Trump.
- Being rich also helps.

Trump’s hiring of his Cabinet is exactly what some on the far right think that Affirmative Action/DEI are.

They think that incompetent people were given good jobs just because they’re black. Actually, they think every black person who ever achieved anything was just given it.

But look at THEM.

The new Paul McCartney album will feature a duet with Ringo Starr Paul McCartney recently announced “The Boys of Dungeon Lane” and released its first single, “Days We Left Behind.” On this record, he revisits his formative years as a musician, including references t...

CNN compilation of Trump repeatedly saying the war in Iran will end "pretty soon." If this were only a comedy skit, it might be humorous. As it is, this is tragic.

For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.

Excited to share some good news for Illinois families — we’ve reached over 100,000 children in our state receiving books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

Let’s keep reading.

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.

Lori Chavez-DeRemer allegedly had an affair with her security guard subordinate.

Her husband allegedly sexually assaulted two staffers.

And then even her dad was being creepy with young aides.

What’s going on with this family?

BREAKING: 86% of all people support the release of the Epstein files, per WaPo poll.

If you don’t see by now that they never wanted to go after “the worst of the worst” but instead just wanted to go after everybody who isn’t white who can be deported, the reason is because you don’t want to. Probably because you don’t care because you think it won’t affect you.

Federal agents detain wife of another US army member: ‘ICE is out of control’ Jose Serrano, a sergeant, said Deisy Rivera Ortega, his wife, was arrested at an immigration appointment

A US army sergeant with 27 years of military service – including deployment to Afghanistan – has said that federal immigration agents recently arrested his wife during an appointment at an El Paso, Texas, immigration office.

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.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Swinney turns down White House invite. Good 👍.

Remember when White House positions had a vetting process?

Dear White House Reporters: Again, WTF? Dinner with this president, really?

Former White House newsman @ronfournier.bsky.social is saddened that “dozens of [current reporters] and your corporate bosses are planning to honor Trump with his presence Saturday at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner celebrating freedom of the press."

He adds: "I don’t get it."

The DOJ is now 122 days overdue to release the Epstein files.

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.
