@durbin.senate.gov I am begging you to hold the line. They will not uphold their end later, and I know you are smart enough to know that. All that voting yes will do now is give them confirmation that withholding people’s food is a tactic that will work again in the future.

@durbin.senate.gov, I strongly insist that you stand with @duckworth.senate.gov and vote no on cloture today. You and your colleagues are our last defense against this disastrous continuing resolution. We need you to stand strong for all of us!

The greatest grift of all time is the one where millionaires and billionaires convinced the middle class that their struggles were created by people who had less than them, and not the very same millionaires and billionaires who exploited their labor, their tax system, and their wages.

American politicians should feel ashamed.
If Zelenskyy, a foreigner fighting a nearly insurmountable war against a nuclear power can stand up to Trump, Vance, and Musk, every US politician should be doing 100 times more to impede their takeover.
Congress is filled with hacks and cowards.

That was not an attempt at diplomacy. That was an ambush staged by two of Putin’s favorite puppets, intended to make Ukraine look bad to the American media. Believe me, the whole world saw it for what it really was, the leaders of the U.S. trying to bully an ally to capitulating to Putin’s agenda.

The media needs to stop using the phrase "Trump outlawed diversity programs" and just say it like it is: Trump legalized discrimination against women and POC.

So what I’m hearing here is that if someone were to do whatever it took to get rid of a person who was harming the country, they would be perfectly within their rights to do so. Got it.

Yes think about how judges are supposed to decide if things the president does are constitutional, and why the richest man in the world who just bought the election might not be into that.

We need to all be calling it what it is—a coup.
That is what is happening.
A slow-moving coup is underway in the U.S., using executive overreach, dismantling oversight, and private-sector collusion. This isn’t just democratic erosion—it’s an active power grab.

First of all, no, they weren’t hiring people without the cognitive capabilities to be air traffic controllers, a job that requires rigorous review and testing, but maybe they were given jobs at the FAA that were in their skillset, like facilities maintenance. Which, why not?

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

The first American autism diagnosis was in 1943, and autism as an independent diagnosis was added to the DSM in 1980. Having a diagnosis available leads to, surprise, an increase in the diagnosis being used.
