I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

NEW AD: 14 years ago today, Ken Paxton stole someone's $1,000 pen. Today, Ken Paxton’s pen victim is endorsing James Talarico.

This is horrific!

This is crazy. Alex is from Brazil, why would they deport him to Guyana? He’s a longtime West Hollywood resident who has been following his immigration requirements. He wasn’t hiding. He wasn’t on the run. He showed up for his required ICE check-in. And that’s where they detained him.

My open letter to David Ellison has unexpectedly gone viral. Here is the full version for anyone who wants to read and share. If you like it, I would ask you to sign to Democracy Docket at the bottom. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

My open letter to David Ellison

You argued that the American people have misjudged you — that they are wrong about what is in your heart and mind. I want to be clear: I don't care what you think or feel. What I care about is your ac...

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

McGowan: The president's personal defense attorney should not be the attorney general. The man who ignored the Epstein victims and then moved Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum security prison to where she is now, should not be the attorney general. I think Cassidy is a spineless coward.

Young people need to take less risk on a screen and more risk off of screens. From my conversation with Bill Maher.

BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.

The Trump administration doesn't want them to count since they were killed after Trump got his "ceasefire". So they've been deleted from the Pentagon's count of those killed in this illegal, nonsensical war.

They died serving our country. They should be honored, not erased. Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Hawaii Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, of Texas Sgt. Angel Rampersad, 28, of New York Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, of North Carolina

Why don’t the Epstein files matter as much as the Reflecting Pool to the DOJ? @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social

Ken Paxton let a pedophile back on our streets. Adam Hoffman—an admitted child molester—should have gotten life in prison, but Paxton gave him an Epstein-style sweetheart deal. Today I’m calling on Paxton to release the Hoffman Files. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas.

If this is the reflecting pool, imagine our nations security.

Here at the Reflecting Pool where a big chunk ofTrump's blue paint-apoxie has peeled off the bottom of the pool and is bobbling in the water.

This story is chilling and should give every woman in America reason to think twice about their reproductive future. I have four children by if I were still a young woman, I would be afraid to get pregnant in the United States now. www.huffpost.com/entry/georgi...

Georgia Says A Fetus Is A Person. The Implications Are Terrifying.

There's a uniquely dangerous provision in Georgia's abortion ban that paves the way for criminalizing pregnant people.

DEAN: You're under oath. When will you comply with the law and release all the files? BLANCHE: We have complied with the law DEAN: There are 3 million more documents. Nobody buys it. *the time of the gentlelady has expired* DEAN: How do I get cut off 2 minutes into this?

Talarico: Ken Paxton embodies everything that’s wrong with our political system. He was impeached by his own party for using his public office to enrich himself and his donors at our expense. And that kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system.

These 8 Democrats voted to pass a national ban on trans teachers and mention of LGBTQ topics. Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

Hearing Viola Davis say it out loud hits different. These aren’t just stats—they’re real people and real trauma. Yet too many look away. We won’t. Her #CupOfJoe speaks truth to power. ☕️

Chad Bianco, what mothers need is respect and support, not your advice.

#CAGOVDebate Weird they start with democrats then republicans last. Porter is actually doing well and she was not in my top two.

Today’s 10 years since Prince passed, and I just wanted to tell one of many personal stories, about why I have this wonderful photo by Afshin Shahidi (a friend, who was also Prince’s personal photographer for years) hanging in our home. It tells a very special story…

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Trump just fired Pam Bondi & Tulsi is next - probably discussing the 25th! He is surrounded by end of days religious extremists and being told he is chosen by god. This delusional man wants to press the red button and even the most loyal cabinet members see what's coming. He must be stopped!
