The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.
Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️🌈

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Sen. Alex Padilla: "This isn't about one comedian or one television personality or any one network. It's about whether we as Americans still have the freedom to laugh at those in power, to question authority, and to tell the truth without fear of retribution."

Imagine weaponizing the Justice Department to chase phantom crimes against your political opponents… then punishing prosecutors for not making them up. That’s not America, that’s authoritarianism.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.
His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.
Now he is tweeting in support of me.
This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.
Or used to work.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures.
Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims.
Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.

If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail.
But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.

BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files.
As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed.
Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.
