You won't find him at Coachella or the Met Ball with AOC or Bernie Sanders. He's too busy doing the job tax payers pay him to do - clean up Congress!

To be fair he had 4 years of terrible practice.

Dozens of American veterans and military family members were detained after they started protesting the Iran war inside a congressional office building in Washington D.C.

A medium-close portrait of John Waters sitting with his arms crossed in front of a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf. He wears a blazer featuring a vibrant green and white botanical leaf print, layered over a black turtleneck.

The Onion Is Turning Alex Jones’ InfoWars Into a Parody Site With a Rainbow Logo Love wins.

We are out of rainbow trucker hats. I repeat: We have sold out of rainbow InfoWars trucker hats.

(We'll restock them. But you can still buy the union-made shirts.)

No… Tucker,

you are not welcome, forgiven, excused, or given the benefit of the doubt.

You laughed on TV while children suffered and you did it for years, because the money was good.

You can rot.

Democracy Wins As Senate Quietly Kills Trump's SAVE America Act As soon as Senate Republicans moved on to voting on a budget resolution, debate ended on the SAVE America Act without a vote, which means that Trump's election rigging bill is dead.

Rock In Peace Dave Mason, singer-songwriter and guitarist best known as a founding member of Traffic, and his solo career and work with George Harrison, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Fleetwood Mac, Leon Russell, and more. Gone to the big gig in the sky.

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.

These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

The Epstein files contain evidence about the sexual abuse of women, and especially minors. That was terrible. But there's something even worse in those files: evidence of billions of dollars of corruption. Many wealthy people who were not involved in sex abuse were involved in financial crimes.

People at various points in my radio life have said that it has had its day. I always beg to differ. There is still nothing like the voice of a music lover introducing a song that he or she is truly interested in.

The humanity of radio is still its greatest quality and advantage.

This is Bill , 80

He’s contributing his wife’s recipe for relish ( in the 3 jars) to the Canberra Senior’s Centre “ memorable recipes “ book to be released at the end of the year

She “left” a decade ago but ensured Bill learnt the recipe(and others) so he wouldn’t “starve” after she passed

Do yourself a favor Todd, go ahead and resign.

Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.

Reminder that LOCAL ELECTIONS MATTER.

When ICE comes to your district to buy a warehouse to turn into a concentration camp, commissioners and city council members can make it difficult. Refusal to allow utilities, zoning rules, etc.

Vote on behalf of every human in danger of being detained.

Happy Birthday, John Waters!

Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.

"This is an important thing to think about."

Southern Poverty Law Center says it is under Justice Department investigation The nonprofit on Tuesday said it is “the latest organization targeted by this administration.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which is best known for its tracking of hate groups, said that the Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into the nonprofit regarding their use of informants.

I need you all to remember ICE is still destroying families and assaulting people daily.
Don't forget to keep protesting.

Netanyahu: "Iran planned another Holocaust. It plotted to destroy us with nuclear bombs."

Iran has no nuclear bombs. Israel has 200+.

The only "another Holocaust" happening is in Gaza, with Israeli bombs.

America Just Shrugged at the Largest Mass Shooting in Years A horrifying massacre in Louisiana can teach us a few things, but first we need to pay attention.

EIGHT CHILDREN DIED in a mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana this weekend.

Eight children.

Testing finds toxic metals where Tesla discharges wastewater The drainage district that commissioned the testing has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the company, which says it is in compliance with all requirements for its state wastewater discharge permit.
