Ailing wannabe dictator yelling at his people and insisting that they're getting richer and safer when all the evidence demonstrates the opposite.

This is Gaddafi-levels of lunacy.

Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.

But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

Heads up US officials!

Promote tighter gun control restrictions NOW!
Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Measles didn’t make a comeback on its own.

This is RFK Jr’s anti-vax movement and his disinformation campaign. And equally as disturbing, some people are perfectly fine with this outcome.

I haven't met A SINGLE liberal/Progressive/Democrat who has said that anyone in the Epstein Files who is a Democrat should be protected or immune from any crimes they committed.

NOT. ONE.

That's the difference...among many others.

Statement from the Lear Family on the death of Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner.

Rob Reiner described Norman Lear as his second father.

Rob Reiner, like his father, brought humor and hope to so many of us.
He will be missed and his artistic work will endure.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Hundreds of kids in S Carolina are being quarantined right now because of a measles outbreak.

I don’t have patience for niceties when it comes to this crap, so if you’re an anti-vaxxer, keep your damn kids at home and don’t travel for the holidays.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

The Fed cuts overnight rate by a quarter point. Lacking November CPI & jobs report, this small cut is a reasonable decision.

But Trump's Fed appointee, Mirin, wanted a larger cut. Hassett too. Both are signaling they will destroy Fed independence. They're dangerous!

Excellent "my pillow" Turley burn from Marc Elias, founder of Democracy Docket.

Please support this legal organization that's fighting in courts for your right to vote in a free and fair election
Jonathan Turley is obsessed with me to the point that it's creepy. I suppose I can't expect more from a guy who is essentially just Mike Lindell with tenure.

Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment

Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days

True work life balance

Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.
