Remove the cap on taxable income. Expand the forms of income subject to taxation. Make Congress pay back all the money it “borrowed” from the Social Security trust. It’ll be solvent before you know it. Just stop letting these grifters rip us off.

Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, immigrants, the deep state, the press, Canada or Mexico or Greenland, Antifa or Jewish space lasers or pride parades. No. Our state's under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington.

Hey man, when I called to schedule an MRI appointment at my local VA last week, they told me there were no openings until NOVEMBER. Maybe work on that before you start calling for more war with Iran. You can't even take care of the combat vets you have. Why are you trying to create new ones?

Review | Robyn Hitchcock - The Confuser by @eklisiewicz.bsky.social "This is an album to savour and sing along to, with its many memorable lyrics and melodies. It ranks as one of Robyn’s best, and he has the vim and vigour of a much younger soul. Bravo!" echoesanddust.com/2026/08/roby...

The USS Abraham Lincoln has been at sea for 200+ straight days, and reports say conditions onboard are so bad that multiple sailors have tried to jump off. Our servicemembers deserve better than this. There needs to be an investigation.
It's honestly so crazy to me that we're facing a technological revolution that could displace millions of jobs in the middle of a housing affordability crisis and every day we talk about whether a trans woman is playing sports or if someone has a non-Anglo name.
In yet another assertion of unlawful authority over Greenland, an American oil company connected to Donald Trump is preparing to sink wells in remote Greenland despite not having received permission from the local authorities. The move is seen by the Greenlanders as an intentional provocation.

The Democratic Party needs to get comfortable with a certain kind of ruthlessness.
The measure of a society is how it invests in its children. For decades, I have advocated for Head Start because every child deserves a strong start in life. Today, I stand with the more than 100 civil rights and child advocacy organizations opposing efforts to dismantle the program from within.
