South Jersey native happily living in MD. Philly sports diehard in a mixed marriage with a Baltimore fan. Go Birds. Go Phils. Resist, it is NOT futile. Be kind; it’s in short supply these days.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

The Epstein emails have damaged Trump beyond repair, because the public has now seen the gross moral rot behind Trump's presidency and the elites who prop it up (and fawned over a convicted sex creep)

Take your money out of AI and into pitchforks. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/epst...
Epstein’s emails are the end of America as they ruined it
If the evil banality of the world's most powerful people exposed in the Epstein emails doesn't cause a revolution, nothing will.

No, it’s not modern art. It’s Comcast xfinity’s broadcast of the Eagles game. Glad the Eagles won; too bad I didn’t get to really see it. #eagleswin

Horrific fact: It was legal for a man to rape his wife in some U.S. states as recently as 1993.

The same year Jurassic Park was released.

Great framing.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Trump’s attacks on federal workers is systematic, but public servants are strong and resilient.
 
This administration is making their life hell, but they’re ready to fight back because they believe in our democracy.

Virginia is the last line of defense for reproductive rights in the South — and women in Virginia deserve to know that it will stay that way.

My position is clear: as Governor, I will always protect reproductive freedom in Virginia.

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Steve Winwood is still fabulous and puts on a hell of a show. That is all.

Wore my new Eagles shirt today. Love wins and so do the Eagles! And I didn’t drip chili on it (suprising my husband greatly!) #flyeaglesfly

Gore winning 2000 means no Alito or Roberts. Clinton winning 2016 means no Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, or Barrett. A few thousand votes' difference means misery and terror for millions.
🚨By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court UPHOLDS Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, concluding that it does NOT discriminate on the basis of sex, is not subject to heightened scrutiny, and survives rational basis review. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name.

This is your legacy!

Note to Democratic politicians:

Stop saying "this isn't who we are" when clearly it *IS* "who" a significant portion of us are.

Recommendation: "This isn't who we SHOULD be" or "We should be better than this."

Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

Hey MLB get that puppy killer commercial lying about DHS off my MLB.tv subscription. I want to watch the Phillies game without having to yell at commercials. I'd rather pay more than see ads like that. #MLB #Phillies

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Democrats,

You don't need presidential aspirations to lead.

You don't need the establishment's approval

You don't need to have all the answers

People are anxious for the future of our country. Fearful for the fate of democracy. Angry at the oligarchs and their insatiable greed

Step up and lead.

worth saying again these these unilateral cuts are illegal. neither trump nor musk has the authority to unilaterally slash appropriated funds.
Hearing that the DOGE chaos hurricane is hitting HUD soon, and the plan is to devastate federal housing funding. Let's be clear: this would cause a cascade of catastrophic impacts nationwide, shutting down housing and dumping families into the street.
