Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

good day for resignations

mr president

Guessing this is why he's having 'Executive Time' until 2 PM today ... 😉

Was not expecting this. Gonzales will also resign from Congress.

Today's Famous Person with a Cat: Peter Magyar

Leo: "The message of the church, the message of the gospel -- blessed are the peacemakers. I do not look at my role as being political. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing."

Harmeet Dhillon Is Not Wasting Any Time She arrived at the Department of Justice with radical changes in mind. One year later, she has completely reshaped the Civil Rights Division.

Important, deeply reported piece about the destruction of the Justice Department's storied Civil Rights Division, and the efforts to rebuild it into an anti-civil rights organization (whilst throwing the separation of powers in the trash too).

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

The idea that the President of the United States could publish an image of himself as the Messiah and no news outlet covers it is the biggest indictment of the American free press.

The ‘Big Lie’s’ Autocratic Assault on the Rule of Law: Attorneys Can Stop It | ACS

First time I ever wrote about Viktor Orban for the @acslaw.bsky.social was in his use of attorneys to achieve an autocracy in Hungary. Same thing is happening in the United States #RuleOfLaw #Orban #Hungary www.acslaw.org/expertforum/...

I was elected as a democratic socialist, and will continue to govern as a democratic socialist.

100 days in — and we’re just getting started.

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

The Hungarian people have chosen a new path. We are ready to work with you, and our European allies, to deepen our cooperation in trade, defence, and security.

Big things are happening in Hungary right now. This is shaping up to be a historic day.

11 p.m. "Interview With a Vampire" (1994) Tom Cruise is a soulless recluse who lurks in the darkness and sucks the life from all who come near him. He's also in this movie about a vampire. Showtime.

good morning

Kanninen: "I wish Rs would do the same thing w/ Gonzales. Just 5 days ago there was a story about texts he sent another staffer after previous one killed herself. There's not been calls for him to resign. Anybody, R or D, w/ this kind of serious charge, should focus on their families, not politics"

The nice thing about Amazon threatening to brick my 2012 Kindle is that I’m free now. They’re taking away my Kindle. I don’t have to get a new one. I can get another e-book reader for all my library loans.

It’s very liberating.

It's really something to be living through the worst President, the worst Supreme Court, and the worst Congress all at once

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree establishing Universal Healthcare for all Mexican citizens.

The United States could’ve had this, but people chose economic collapse, cruelty and death instead. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

I trust journalists way more than cops and courts to investigate sexual violence allegations. When a thoroughly reported journalistic investigation comes out, like the ones about Eric Swalwell, I’ve seen enough. If you haven’t done this work you may be unaware of how much goes into it.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."

I would rather that my tax dollars NOT go to supporting a foreign dictator and Putin ally. -- Sigh.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.

"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”

“'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..."

I know it’s crazy, but as an alternative, White House staffers could simply choose not to commit any crimes.
