The world has lost two magnificently creative human beings in Rob and Michele Reiner. Their violent deaths add to the darkness of these days, but their humor, their compassion and their love for the world shine an imperishable light.

I’m sick of hearing that closing the Department of Education would send control back to the states.
The states already have control.
What they really want with a closing is lack of oversight, access to education funding, and more Christian Nationalism in schools.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This is the most obscenely wealthy, grotesquely cruel, offensively under qualified and incompetent, outrageously & blatantly corrupt, callously indifferent, brazenly self-serving, shamelessly deceitful administration in our country’s history. A hollow gold-plated autocracy destined to collapse.

Civil liberties are under attack in the USA like never before. It’s scary, it’s real — and that’s why I hope to raise $100,000 this week to empower the American Civil Liberties Union (@aclu.org). But I’ll need your help.

Trump sharing that obscene video was totally disgusting. Any regular person could say as much.
It's genuinely pathetic to see elected leaders like Speaker Johnson twisting themselves into pretzels to put on a show for the President like this.

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?
MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.
But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

I've never seen a time when we are facing a true crisis, and the president & GOP leaders won't even TALK to Democrats about a solution.
Republicans can end this shutdown TODAY if they work with Democrats to reopen the government and keep health care costs from skyrocketing.

4/ Ok, so then the obvious next step is to negotiate a compromise. That's how we've always avoided shutdowns. And Republicans need to convene those talks, bc they're in charge.
But here's the kicker - Trump is telling them to BOYCOTT NEGOTIATING. And they are following orders.
