I’m old enough to have participated in the Rally to Restore Sanity led by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert in 2010. I didn’t imagine that we would need a Rally to Protect the 1st Amendment 15 years later; we’re moving backwards
I love this idea.
Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

I hope the sponsors make their logo real big, I want to make sure I add the correct brand to my #boycott list
The White House wants to recruit corporate sponsors to contribute to its Easter Egg Roll next month, raising ethical and legal concerns that President Trump is allowing companies to profit from the 147-year-old tradition by turning it into a showcase for their brands.

Here's an opportunity for Democratic candidates to meet those unhappy deceived farmers in rural communities where a majority of voters chose the other candidate, and start building programs with them for a better future.
As if the Dems didn't alert enough on the danger of voting for a candidate running on tariffs and federal programs cuts. Now they say: “Everyone thinks all farmers voted for this, but we did not vote for this.” No, but you voted for him, and you were warned.

Someone’s obsession over crowd size will be tested 😏 Looking forward to the Sean Spicer-like spin on “largest watched inaugural ever” comments
President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration will be moved indoors instead of outside the Capitol due to extreme cold.
Temperatures Monday are expected to be the most frigid for an inauguration since President Ronald Reagan’s ceremony in 1985, which was also moved inside.

Le dessin montre Jeff Bezos offrant un sac d’argent à une statue de Donald Trump. Le quotidien a affirmé que ce rejet avait été émis alors qu’un « éditorial sur le même sujet » venait d’être publié et qu’un autre, satirique, était déjà prévu.
