Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime.

This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.

If your voice is deemed meaningless, it's time to turn to action that can't be ignored.

It’s Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl. They keep leaving off the “Dr.”

Pay attention to how Idaho & the msm media infantilize her, calling her a “little girl” and ignoring her academic achievements. None of that is on accident.

A male bystander who checked on Borrenpohl was zip-tied and removed from the premises. Borrenpohl sought medical attention at an ER; she was bruising and her clothing was partially removed during the altercation. Republicans in the audience cheered and clapped during the assault.

After asking questions and making remarks about Medicaid, Teresa Borrenpohl was told to leave a town hall in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

After Borrenpohl refused to leave, men tried to carry her out, then forced her to the ground.

Clear violations of her constitutional & civil rights!

PREPARE FOR THIS.

As educators, we are united in supporting every student—no matter the language they speak or their place of birth—and ensuring they have access to safe, welcoming public schools.

Here is guidance from NEA's Office of General Counsel that may be helpful.

This is an unprecedented move and it jeopardizes the safety and trust that schools represent for students and their families. Educators have a sacred responsibility to protect every child, no matter their immigration status. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2025/01/21/trump-executive-o…

Biden: "I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people and the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape"

Just about time for us to get weepy over the scene in "A Garfield Christmas" where Garf finds the lost love letters from Grandma's late husband. Deep stuff for a cartoon about a cat who eats lasagna.
