That's exactly how it should be.

We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue

I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider. Post Anything Here: interactink.vercel.app

Remember when we had a real president? Happy Birthday, President Obama.

📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

Asking dumb questions is never a good idea. 🫢

jfc This fills me with rage.

Migrant children incarcerated at a now-closed facility next to an Air Force Reserve base outside of Miami were exposed to toxic chemicals such as arsenic and lead, which are linked with developmental harm and cancer, according to more than 20,000 pages of records released ...

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.

Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.

Cornyn justifies his support for Blanche: "That's one of those things that can't be remedied by a 'no' vote"

Frances Perkins was the patron saint of American workers and an inspiration for me during my time as labor secretary. She was the guiding light behind the creation of Social Security, the 40-hour workweek, the National Labor Relations Act, and much more.

Today's Prospect Patriot is Frances Perkins. She saw the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory go ablaze in 1911 and her life changed. "The New Deal was born that day," she said. 22 years later she'd be America's first female cabinet member. prospect.org/2026/08/04/a...

Happy birthday to an actual President, Barack Obama. 💙

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.

Every single edible object that enters this house must pass through me. Chicken nuggets? Me. Leftover pizza? Me. Frozen spring rolls? Absolutely me. An experimental zucchini recipe your mom found at 1:12 a.m. on Facebook? Unfortunately, also me.

"When people hear about the trolley problem, they only consider the folks tied to the tracks. They don’t think about us, the passengers aboard a runaway trolley about to have the unsettling experience of passively participating in the bone-crunching death of another human."
