Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries Live on the steps of the Capitol YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

This is a moral moment in America. Sitting on the Capitol steps with Leader Hakeem Jeffries this morning to discuss what’s at stake with Trump’s budget and affirm the need for collective action to protect Medicaid, food assistance, and other safety net programs. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Still, a dumbass.

Actually, they did. That’s why they created the Electoral College.

What they never anticipated was elected officials from one of the two major political parties being this stupid.

I want a president who is tougher on Putin than he is on Harvard.

Today…….

9 yo dau: Dad, why are you at the British Museum.
Me: Researching stuff.
Her: Ok.
Me: Why are you texting me at 5am.
Her: To tell you that today is my last day of being 9!
Me: Fair enough. 🥰

A colonizers’ defense. They know no shame, still.

Then the Brits took everything else.

The British Museum is wild.

These dudes took everything!

This moment is powerful.

Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, an uber conservative stalwart on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals for decades, just made almost verbatim the same point Justice Sotomayor has been making, most recently in her statement in the Abrego-Garcia case.

Wrong person and wrong take.

Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Office—he didn’t wear a suit! I mean, here’s a picture of Kid Rock in the Oval Office—he looks like he’s about to jump over 10 buses on the White House lawn.

Oh he was so close to being prophetic. So close 😑🖕

And in the end, they even sacrificed their claim to “state’s rights” for which they enslaved, seceded, fought, segregated, assaulted and murdered, and in the name of which they degraded themselves, their families and their region.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

2 more Ohio State international students report visas revoked amid Trump purge The total number of Ohio State students with revoked visas is now seven, although the situation is fluid and others could also have lost their visas.

This is a travesty. No due process. No cause given. No easy path to contest. Come on! The US is better than this. www.dispatch.com/story/news/e...

I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House.

You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration.

Let me repeat that.

You actions are in *direct* opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI.

“Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.
