Tom Hanks understands that Covid is not over & that masks work!

He says he’s in a play and can’t get sick.

“I’ve had covid enough. I don’t want to do that again”

This is the way. Wearing a mask helps keep you healthy and it protects those around you.

A respirator like an N95 is best!

The Wall Street Journal just held and then rejected my comments on an editorial because I recounted what “young Republicans” reportedly said on their racist online group chat.

Rape? Gas Chambers? Driving opponents to suicide? Loving Hitler? This is the mindset of GOP leaders in their 20s and 30s.

Chris Van Hollen. The Senator with tenacity and determination who had the guts to go down to CECOT and see Kilmar Abregu.
Following Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s criticism of Democratic leadership for refusing to endorse Zohran Mamdani, Hakeem Jeffries’ spokesman mocks: “Chris Van Who?”

A message for the most “transparent Administration” in history:

Got to meet Senator Klobuchar and Senator Cortez Masto and that was super cool but my favorite was a woman who came up and said “you speaking about your father almost made me lose my eyelashes!”

Life imitates art tonight.

As one of the panelists following the live broadcast of “Goodnight and Good Luck” began to criticize Dump, the feed was cut to a blank screen stating “the event has ended.”

Thank you, George Clooney for using your clout to resurrect this important and timely polemic.

This terrible scene does little to change the perception that Democrats in Congress are weak and unwilling to stand up for their constituents.
The Trump administration has raided a Democratic congressional office and detained a staffer.

They ignored the office’s request to see a warrant.

The entire GOP seems rotten with corruption and self interest. They’ll kill you for a buck.

Wanna see something cool?

At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is.

The result? The crowd losing its mind. 🔥

Trump and his feckless GOP orcs have stolen the American dream.

If you’re a “Max” subscriber, run don’t walk to watch “2073.” Astonishing both that it got made and is now streaming.

Ignore any bad reviews you read and watch it. Those reviews were likely paid for by Musk, Bezos, Thiel, Google, Zuckerberg et al.

CNN.com leads with the market having the “best day in over 16 years” due to Krasnov’s tariffs pause. A more honest headline would be: “Trillions lost in blatant stock manipulation scheme.”
Will CNN call for all large short positions to be investigated?

My favorite sign at this morning’s Hands Off 2025 protest in Scottsdale AZ outside GOP hack David Schweikert’s office:

“No Parking” transformed into “No king, any time.”

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to “drain the swamp” of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.
