New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

This as opposed to just winging it and putting in your friends, donors, and TV Pundits to run things with zero previous government experience. Don't mess with the Zohran!

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:

“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”

That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

Washington D.C. observer John Heilemann: It's only a matter of time before retired & active-duty military personnel turn on Trump. Hegseth focusing on Mark Kelly could be the straw that broke the camel’s back within the military ranks.

Yes please!

This country has been set up to overwhelmingly benefit the rich. Screw the people who actually make things work. I wish we collectively had the balls to strike for at least a week! Then they'd find out.

The Irish far-right 'says no' bigots have an awful lot to answer for on this island. Their tactics spread to the UK, mostly notably England. Same chant, same hatefilled bigots - just a different flag. Although are own are known to have a liking for the auld union fleg at times...

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

Home of the Bush family.
I associate with the Democratic Party.
I always respected the Bush family while disagreeing with them politically.

Their failure to speak up in this time in history has made me reevaluate my respect for them.

We have had 17 years of Austerity.

What we need now is Austerity for the rich.

Let them go without Mansions, Private Jets and Megayachts for at least 17 years.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.

Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.

Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.
