Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

“We will never cut Medicare.” Then Republicans passed a bill that triggers hundreds of billions in Medicare sequestration risk and shortens the trust fund horizon. Then they kill the Part D premium subsidy so drug coverage costs more for millions of seniors starting 2027.

🚨Republicans just cut Medicare — again! Seniors will pay the price. Families will feel it. And with less than 100 days until the midterms, voters are going to remember exactly who did this. Political malpractice. Republicans just don’t give a damn. #RepublicansCutHealthcare

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

There are hundreds of emails detailing the abuses of Epstein's crimes, as well as Jes Staley's involvement in them. These witnesses should be testifying under oath, but Oversight Republicans continue to refuse. We need answers.

Seems important

This is evidence of a crime. The police should investigate Jacob Wohl, Jack Burkman, and Donald Trump for taking bribes in exchange for pardons.

A federal judge has voided President Donald Trump's controversial settlement with the IRS, ruling that his underlying $10 billion lawsuit was filed for an "improper purpose" to engineer a self-dealing agreement. @markfiore.bsky.social

Poor Todd Blanche. 😵‍💫 He's in the unfortunate position of hiding the crimes of the Rapist in Chief. That sucks.

Stock trades by President. The blatant corruption is just staggering

Over 70M Americans are fine with either option from Trump and the Republican Party. This continues as long as Republicans have power. Rally your friends and family to VOTE in the midterms!!! Straight Democratic ticket, no exceptions. America must END the GOP.

Stephen Eustáqio’s mother and father died a little more than a year apart, and he kept his late parents at the forefront after scoring the goal that sent Canada to a men’s World Cup Round of 16 for the first time ❤️‍🩹

Trump and Republicans radically raised health insurance premium costs -- doubling them on average -- and so 5 million Americans who used to have health insurance now can't afford it. More than half the people who have this kind of health insurance live in GOP districts: www.npr.org/2026/06/26/n...

5 million have dropped ACA insurance after Trump and the GOP let prices skyrocket

Enrollment in Affordable Care Act insurance fell much more sharply in the first months of 2026 than it has in years past. Trump officials blame fraud. Health policy experts blame costs.

Robin Williams in World's Greatest Dad (2009).

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.

Hiding Trump's PEDOPHILE past is the reason he withdrew support for Ukraine, & the reason he joined Netanyahu's war with Iran. Never before has blackmail over the rapes of young girls influenced so much war, death & destruction. It's also responsible for Trump wanton destruction of Nato.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history.

At this point he's flaunting his corruption with the obvious market manipulation. 👇
