A poster with a colorful stack of books on the left and this text on the right: “Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

The president is currently trying to steal 10 BILLION DOLLARS from the American people and it’s not the main news story in the country… not even close
"I would have won Vietnam very quickly," Trump just said.
He's out of his mind. We need to get rid of him before he kills us all.
Today we remember the horrific tragedy of the Columbine shooting. 27 years later, it is a disgrace that gun violence is still the leading cause of death for children in America.
ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections.
Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.
This only happens in a country that loves its guns more than its children.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:
Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%
Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%
This is what a rigged system looks like.
“They’ll never close the Strait again” lasted a solid 10 hours.
Masterful negotiation (read: market manipulation) from Trump
✊

The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.
Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.
Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.
I want to swap out my old Corolla for an EV next year, but I have zero interest in spending $50k for one, which is the only price US carmakers are interested in.
If one of them rolled out a $22k EV it be the best-selling vehicle within a year. So why won't they? Big Oil, the Shithead in power.
With news of the new "Grazing Action Plan" created by the USDA to help the cattle industry, we wanted to remind everyone that wolves are not the problem. Wolves have killed 0.002% of cattle, yet hundreds of wolves were killed by government programs.

I’m starting to think it’s one team
Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.
Thank you!
Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United.
Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%.
Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit.
But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...
I'll be joining @Jen Psaki on set tonight at 9 pm ET to discuss the searing injustice of Trump’s DOJ trying to erase the seditious conspiracy J6 convictions of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys.
Bonus, I’ll be on panel tonight with my friend Harry Dunn. @libradunn1.bsky.social
Democratic Rep. Brendan Boyle: “It eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans, according to the CBO. You’re going to sit here with a straight face and say they’re all illegals, they’re all defrauding the system?”
White House Budget Director Russell Vought: “Yes.”
WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public'
IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated
W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?
Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”.
This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.
The president staying up till 3 AM posting memes on social media would be a five alarm fire in any other society
It is not a conspiracy anymore.
Not feeling good about giving my hard earned money to the oligarchs, to fund illegal & unnecessary "wars,"or fund any of this admin's crooked schemes.
Not at all 'good.'
If you think the Pope is a radical leftist, wait till you meet his boss.

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….
