It has now been 30 days with NO humanitarian aid getting into Gaza.

No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel.

That is barbaric. The U.S. must end our complicity in these atrocities.

The decisive test of our society in my lifetime was the 2024 election and our failure was spectacular and total. I will never again have any faith in the American electorate to do the obviously right thing.

Nothing makes me feel like more of a failure as a parent than the fact that every week preschool sends home my kids nap time blanket to wash and every week I forget to wash it and just send it right back.

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

gravedigger of american democracy. a more malign influence than john c calhoun.

I find that horror is more important in times of unrest.

Many people prefer the horrors of fiction over the horrors in the real world.

In fiction, there's an end. There's a resolution. There's closure, no matter how horrific.

We don't get that kind of comfort in the real world.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something:

Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain."

And just stand there.

This is how many of you are coming across.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

You're the House minority leader. Your job is to stymie the garbage agenda of the very human dipshit who's actually in charge. Get your act together.

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.

What could go wrong?

President-elect Trump and his family on Friday started selling a new cryptocurrency token, a potentially lucrative new business that ethics experts assailed as a blatant effort to cash in on the presidency. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/u...

We’re just going to have a bunch of newscycles where Trump voters are like “I didn’t actually think he was going to do …. Just because he said he was going to.”

Trump is on his way to creating a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires.
