If a man said what Megyn Kelly said, you would assume he was a trafficker.

This young lady is wise beyond her years, but she is still a “child”and she would like a word…

I get it. I used to be someone who couldn't be bothered to learn about politics. But sooner or later, politics affect us all. I'd rather get in the fight now than look up and realize there is no one left to fight beside me because I couldn't be bothered.

Every time I learn things like this, it makes me really angry that these things were rarely included in our education. But at least it gives me a chance to learn discuss history with my kids.

No. It's people and corporations buying homes to profit off of with no intention of actually living in them.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Adelita Grijalva brought two Epstein survivors to her swearing in ceremony and Congress gave them a standing ovation.

She then immediately voted to discharge the Epstein petition.

She exuded grace and class and never stopped fighting for her right to govern.

She’s a badass.

Why are any of these people allowed to hold offices when their constant response is that they are unaware of major issues? If you can't be bothered to be informed about a bill you are tasked with voting on, you should have to forfeit your vote. This ineptitude in any other job would get them fired.

Bipartisan horror at @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn’s greedy money grab snuck inside the funding bill— rewarding themselves for getting investigated.

“If they want to eat they can get a job!”

48% of SNAP recipients work full time
38% are children

No one should starve because they’re unable to work, but the idea that SNAP is only for those who refuse to work is false.

It’s being pushed so you don’t care that those “useless eaters” starve

What happened to their "America First" position?
WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Donna Hughes Brown is an Irish citizen who's lived in the US most of her life.

She holds a green card and is married with American kids & grandkids.

ICE grabbed her anyways. The reason? A bad cheque she wrote for $25 decades ago.

It's been paid back.

She will now spend Thanksgiving in custody

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.

They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal.

Every blue dot in Tennessee needs to get out & vote. Johnson will hold out on returning the house & swearing in Grijalva until Epps gets there to cancel her vote if he wins. Senators who were not up for reelection or retiring may cave. Show them the people won't forget. Carry last week's momentum.

Every single Dem that caved and agreed to this deal needs to be primaried and voted out. They are cowards who wasted the last month for a half baked promise vote a month from now.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

MAGA folks are claiming that Trump can’t fund SNAP even if he wants to because it’s against the law.

First, no it’s not.

Second, he’s a 34 time convicted felon. He was found liable for sexual assault. He’s been murdering people in the Caribbean.

Don’t pretend he cares about the law.

They told me to “grow up” in my faith.

So I did.

It just meant outgrowing some things they never expected me to.

There’s a disturbing lack of outrage over ICE’s aggressive tackling and arrest of a non verbal autistic man in Chicago.

Just like the lack of outrage over Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held in solitary for months.

Disabled lives matter too!
Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities
Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.
