Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil
💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.

The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

When my son came downstairs this morning, I thought he said "Batista", so I was like, "Oh, did Batista make an appearance at WrestleMania?"
He replied, "Mum, I said, it's Easter."
In my defense, it is WrestleMania this weekend, and that is about as close as it gets to a religious experience here!

there are like three overlapping scandals with signalgate — illegal distribution of sensitive government materials by top members of the administration, illegal attempt to circumvent records laws and possible unlawful use of military force — and democrats should be screaming about them all

@govevers.wisconsin.gov - With the highest respect, sir, please read below. The State of Wisconsin needs you now, more than ever. Please act, for the sake of free, and I mean, FREE, and fair elections.
The DOJ isn't going to enforce Federal Law.

The Governor of Wisconsin MUST issue an Executive Order making it illegal in the state to pay anyone to sign any petition! The State AG can enforce that without needing DOJ!
How is this okay?

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

you can say they're not sane or their arguments don't pass constitutional muster till you're blue in the face. they have the power. they're doing it. And unless they are stopped they will keep doing it.
In the 2000s, the Supreme Court ruled time and again that even suspected terrorists captured in war zones overseas were entitled to due process.

In no sane world does Rubio's position pass constitutional muster.
Rubio’s position seems to be:

- We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us.
- Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges.
- After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.

Every American has the right to know what DOGE is doing with their personal information. I submitted a Privacy Act request to DOGE, demanding they tell me why they have my Social Security number and direct deposit information.

Sanders: Our life expectancy is about four years less than in other wealthy countries.

If you’re working class in America, you live 7-8 years shorter than people who are wealthy. Now, why is that?

The answer is not just healthcare. But it is the day-to-day stress that working people live under.

Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come.

My husband says I've created a shrine to my dad who passed away 5 weeks ago...I guess I have! I don't label myself as religious, but after I googled which religions use shrines, I like the ideas of Shinto, which is the belief in spirits in nature and honoring the ancestors who watch over us. ⭐
