It’s pretty awful that we are already at this he corruption stage where the President openly accepts bribes and his AG declares the President doesn’t have to pay the $10million he owes in back taxes

Todd Blanche’s written assurance that the $1.8 billion slush fund won’t go forward is garbage. It won’t go forward today. What about tomorrow once Blanche is confirmed as AG? Tillis and Cornyn, agreeing to advance Blanche, are pathetic.

Anyone who has worked in healthcare will never forget the horrors we have experienced through the pandemic. No amount of lying or gaslighting can ever erase that.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Same as it always was. Please note the date.

“Are you a communist?” “No I am an anti-fascist” “For a long time?” “Since I have understood fascism.” – Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls

We could've made this montage of liars an hour long but you get the point

Considering we're all angry about the tech oligarchs and their power, I think one of the main priorities of the next Democratic president has to be a sweeping privacy and Big Tech regulation law. Let's get it done

One of the worst things about the Senate’s attempted Fauci show trial is how the supposed evidence against him is early in COVID he considered multiple hypotheses, then increasingly ruled some unlikely as evidence came in. The objection is he did science. Fundamentally that is what’s under attack.

Just imagine if Republicans put a fraction as much effort into investigating the Epstein actors as they do a man who served in the American public health sector for more than fifty years and has acted as an advisor to every U.S. president since Ronald Reagan? They are not a serious political party.

The Fauci hearing perfectly illustrated how living through a once in a century pandemic somehow made Republicans far worse on public health. God forbid we face anything like covid again during Trump 2.0. There will be no Dr Fauci around to try to talk sense to Trump.

Despite all the accusations of crimes and cover-ups, the Trump admin has never actually prosecuted or jailed anyone. The supposed stolen 2020 election, Jan 6 deep state, Dr Fauci, etc. All of its is just theater for the base, revving them up. In the end, will undermine faith in gov and institutions.

the thing about having actual principles is that when a politician I respect does some stupid shit I can just be like, “that sucks, knock it off” instead of inventing an imaginary world where I’m forced to defend stupid shit for procedural 4d chess reasons

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

In 2001, Walter Cronkite appeared on the David Letterman show and shared his thoughts.

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

No hell too hot. www.sunjournal.com/2026/07/13/i...

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The Norwegian Football Association donated all proceeds and ticket revenues (totaling over $350,000) from their World Cup qualifying match against Israel to Doctors Without Borders for humanitarian aid in Gaza. Guess which team I’m rooting for . . .

ICE lied about how Renee Good was shot. They lied about how Alex Pretti was shot. And now they’re lying about how Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot. Don’t believe their story for a second.

Mamdani got into office and instantly: • Froze rent for 2 million New Yorkers • Cut subway fares in half for low-income riders • Fully funded NYC parks • Added $680M for public schools • Launched free child care for 2-year-olds If establishment politicians actually wanted to help you, they could.

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

Hey, Dems, let's do this: Instead of centrists freaking out about the success of progressives, maybe we could take Mamdani as a model and focus on listening to and delivering for the voters. What if we had big competition among candidates to see who could do most for voters? Just imagine.

Zohran Mamdani is already proving government can do useful things. Which means all these other establishment representatives could have too, but didn't bother.
