Gill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂↕️

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

Jennifer Hegseth has no clearance, no confirmation, no appointment. She’s sat in on foreign military meetings, screened Pentagon hires, and was in the Signal chat. Now she chairs a presidential commission. The job she actually holds is “wife.”

Every woman has the right to control what happens to her own body. No exceptions. Abortion restrictions are tied to women's autonomy. We cannot allow right-wing zealots to take away women's rights. This is a form of oppression which must be rejected.
