The term “Department of War” should only be used with scare quotes and considerable derision.

We should be learning from other countries...
Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s.
No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable.
The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.
There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.
A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.
I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.
Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.
The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.
Extremely happy that Orban has lost but having JD humiliated yet again is the cherry on the top of that sundae. 😏
The public DOES have a right to know.
Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:
- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)
- Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex)
- Humming (stimulates vagus nerve)
- Exercise (anything helps, outside even better)
- Impeachment and removal
Meanwhile Prof Tim Snyder is also issuing warnings about the same.
It's PAST time!!!

Christianity is the biggest, most profitable scam in America.
We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator.

Things I’ve never watched:
The Apprentice
The Kardashians
Fox News
I win!
Build child care centers.
Build health centers.
Build community centers.
Not data centers.
And not ICE detention centers.
This car costs $8500. Not a typo. Less than 10 racks. And you don't have to put gas in it.
But we can't have it in the US, because we'd rather have racism and argue about solved problems like birthright citizenship, and should Black people be allowed to vote.
So you get Cybertrucks instead. Enjoy!
A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans:

1970: 72%
1980: 70%
1990: 28%

For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.
RUBIO: “Imagine if Iran spent billions on its people instead of weapons... They’d have a much different country.”🤔😕
Unreal. @marcorubio Do you even hear yourselves? Your shameless hypocrisy is killing us
This is an excellent summary of current circumstances
Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”
It’s time to set things right. The people should not fear the President; the President should fear the people. We have the power. Let’s use it.
The uncomfortable truth about immigration. Charles Barkley had the guts to say what everybody's thinking, on live TV. If he can do that in front of millions, you can absolutely have that conversation with your family and friends.
Far-right tech oligarchs have the most pathetic ideology.
They hate minorities, except when they are coding for them. They want no taxes, no rules, and absolutely no democracy.
There is no grand vision for society, just raw greed and a relentless pursuit of personal interests
This is not surprising, but DEEPLY troubling.
One of my first rules of leadership is encouraging people (and certainly not attacking them) to bring me bad news
Without this, you are losing your eyes and ears and problems with fester and grow without your awareness.
I realize this is the point...
Today's the day. America has no king.
Come out and stand together in solidarity for freedom.

One person in this photo deserves a 20% WNBA revenue share and it’s not me.
Congratulations to the WNBPA on their historic labor agreement.
this goes for so much of the right wing ecosystem. the same guys who scream “DEI hire” would sink to the ocean if they weren’t kept afloat by their far right sugar daddies
