But the government doesn’t have enough money for school lunches or Medicare prescription subsidies. The United States values killing people in other countries over keeping people alive in our own.

Resist the normalization of fascism, sexism, transphobia, xenophobia and blatant lunacy by the GOP. Fight the totalitarian attack on the free press and the elevation of oligarchs in America. 🚫No DMs, 🚫Cryptobros, 🚫PornBots #OregonDucks #SFGiants

Epstein files aren't worth seeing or discussing, but Fauci's personal diary...? THERE's our new distraction. I'd listen to this remarkable woman.
Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.
Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.
Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"
If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250
Compare and contrast---- Obama: Classy and intelligent Trump: Crass and vulgar
Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social · 3mo agoTo George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.
“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

The daily news can’t adequately convey the administration’s sabotaging of our government, economy, alliances and environment

People who immigrate to the U.S. come here to find safety and opportunity and contribute to our communities. We should be welcomed with dignity, not demonized.
I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.
Every ICE raid without a warrant is funded by healthcare cuts. Every child separated is paid for by insurance premium increases. Every killing like Alex Pretti's is enabled by Republican budget priorities. #FundHealthcareOverICE
Former Comms Director for Nancy Mace responds to her claim today that she isn’t able to drink any alcohol because of a medical condition.
A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."
But Bezos had $75 million to spend on Melania’s vanity project.
The broad consensus was that Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos while Trump gave a whiny, low-energy snooze-fest where he kept mixing up countries, so naturally Trump is posting that he won’t be Carney’s friend which undoubtedly devastates Carney and Canadians everywhere.
Watch that. And then tell me how we replace Schumer with her
Why is Donald Trump calling himself a "Sleazebag"?
Yashar Ali 🐘@yasharali.bsky.social · 9mo agoPresident Trump: “Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to "drop him like a dog" when things got too HOT…”
Why does this ridiculous, stupid, coke-addled nepo-baby of a nepo-baby brat have any say in U.S. foreign policy? What foolish, horrifying times we live in.
Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!
LEFT: Heartfelt condolences on Rob Reiner's death from a kind, stable person who should have been president. RIGHT: Obscene gloating over Rob Reiner's death from a delusional sociopath who never should have been president.
Oh no, we can't loose the strict adherence to traditional ideas of gender and sexuality that the Looney Tunes cartoons were so famous for.

People say they want to manufacture real things in America again BUT they complain that it’s “inappropriate” and “not productive” to talk about how we need lots of guillotines. Like make up your minds!
