Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”

This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.

He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated

Why?

Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole

Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

Starve elders.
Starve children.
Get elders evicted.
Make kids homeless.
Kill elders with flu.
Kill kids with measles.
Drive trans kids to suicide.
Drive veterans to suicide.
Set the economy on fire.
Set national security on fire.
Privatize everything.
Pro-life my ass.

No. Now is not the time to play dead.

The Democrats have already played dead for too many years.

60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Millions of seniors are going hungry.

Now is the time to stand up for the working class of this country.

Kids are dying of measles. Egg prices are skyrocketing. Bird flu is out of control. Planes are falling out of the sky. Inflation is rising. Tariffs are coming. Consumer confidence is collapsing. A recession is now likely. The stock market is dropping.

Donald Trump is golfing.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.

$196 billion for three men in 99 days.

Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

If you are a Vermont organization that can no longer access federal funding a result of the OMB memo and the funding freeze, this is a violation of a court order, and we want to hear from you. Report it to our office at ago.info@vermont.gov or 802-828-3171.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Did you know?

In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine.

The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

Your morning reminder that Nazi, Israeli and South African policies of genocide and apartheid were designed to perfection off of Jim Crow Policies against Blacks in the US.

Our collective memories can easily name those three examples but there are obviously more. What are others?

Trump responds to Washington plane crash with racist, ableist diatribe The president used the tragedy, which killed 67, to deliver a bigoted and self-promoting tirade about DEI.

After tragedies like these, it’s typical for American presidents to address the grieving public. What’s not typical of presidents is to blame issues with, for example, the Federal Aviation Administration on disabled people and people of color.

Medical toxicologist here to confirm: all available, real-world data has proven mifepristone is actually even safer than many over the counter medicines.

Mortality rates:

Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K
Viagra 4/100K

Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

If you don't know, the US Senate does a huge amount of its ordinary business, including IIRC figuring out the daily schedule, by what's called "unanimous consent," meaning just what says: that every single senator must agree.

If you refuse UC, you sabotage how the Senate usually works

Longtime pipeline fighter Jane Kleeb is in the running to head up the Democratic state parties. Hard to imagine anyone with a better resume--she organizes rural America like no one else!

We need some people who actually kick butt
