$60 billion for war. 46 million people are hungry.

They’re cutting SNAP anyway.

We can afford to end hunger. They’re choosing not to.

Shameful.

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

Great job Virginia and congratulations for standing up to a wanna be dictator and punching back!
Lets go!!!

Even though I knew before going into the polling station that I would be voting YES in Virginia's referendum yesterday, I still took the time as I always do, to read the full text of the item before marking my ballot.

The language was perfectly clear for anyone whose brain isn't Swiss Cheese.

US spent up to 60% of its Patriot arsenal in 39 days Diminished inventories will affect Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for a domestic anti-ballistic program, easier said than done.

Before Iran, the US had 2,330 Patriot missiles. After 39 days, up to 61% were gone. This is bad news for Ukraine. Zelenskyy is calling for a domestic alternative: easier said than done.

They told me there would be no math. And they were right.

Spain will deliver 100 VAMTAC armored tactical vehicles and a batch of 155mm artillery ammunition to Ukraine this year, Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles announced during a visit to Kyiv.

Deliveries are scheduled to begin in May.

Thank you Spain! 🇪🇸🇺🇦

Exactly.

Enten: "Trump's at an all-time low on inflation across polls (-42 pt. net approval). With Independents, Trump was favored by 10 pt. vs. Harris in 2024 on inflation. His net approval now is -60 pt. That's a 70 pt. shift away from Trump.

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

White background. Blue text reads, The solution is near. Red text reads, Never. Elect. Another. Republican.

Thank you, Virginia!
You have given hope to America! Hope and action is what defeats fascist governments.

Let’s keep voting for our rights! Take this corrupt Trump regime down to its knees. Make them bend to We, The People!

Failure to answer this simple, direct question from Elizabeth Warren should disqualify Warsh from becoming Chairman of the Federal Reserve

If he can't display independence from Trump on what is an undisputed issue, nobody should believe he will disagree with Trump when dealing with financial policy

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

The schadenfreude here is particularly delicious.

WTF is WRONG with these people?

Some of us have been through so much that even something good feels like a setup. Word Porn

Trust is a very big ask for survivors of abuse. Even after years of work on healing it may still be very hard to let your guard down & trust that what is offered to you is genuine.

As healing happens, remember our instincts improve. 🩷

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

What the American "drug war" looks like on the ground: Ecuadorian fishermen were attacked in a double drone strike, arrested at gupoint, taken to El Salvador and then finally released.

Listening to the Republican lamentations about gerrymandering is exactly what I needed to get through the week.

Republicans define governing as going on Fox News and saying dumb stuff.

Then what is the point of him being AG? Oh, right...protecting Trump. Never mind.

I will *always* repost this exchange

It just never ends with these depraved mofos...

I hope she runs for president in 2028 who else will run on taxing the rich? holding trump and his cabinet accountable? we NEED a someone willing to change and/or break the norms of our broken democracy?

I DON'T see newsom doing anything but returning things back to "normal" we will still be broken

AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).

how it feels to say "sprezzatura"

who are these 7% of democrats who approve of how trump is handling immigration show yourselves
