For Republicans struggling with proper pronouns …

People responsible for the deaths of:

Julius Caesar - they, them

Charlie Kirk - he, him

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Washington, D.C. β€” Today, Ezra Levin, Indivisible’s co-founder and co-executive director, released the following statement on Indivisible’s campaign to boycott and protest Disney and ABC following the firing of Jimmy Kimmel: 

β€œBob Iger apparently never watched Andor. He should binge watch it this weekend, look deep within his soul, and reverse course – or resign in disgrace as CEO of Disney. Until then, Indivisible is organizing to save this beloved American company from disgrace, and to protect our constitutional rights that Iger is so willing to sacrifice. 

β€œIger’s cowardice is bad for Disney and bad for democracy. There was a time when Disney was on the side of democracy, producing some of the most memorable anti-fascist cartoons of the 1940s to help us win the war. But eighty years later, Iger is tarnishing a great American company’s reputation with his cowardly capitulation to Trump’s goons. Rather than stand up for free speech, he’s falling over to help an unpopular president squash dissent and trample our rights. Shame, Bob, shame.

Trump’s Immigrant Crackdown in New York: More Arrests, Longer Detention

More than half of the immigrants arrested in the New York City area since Jan. 20 do not have any criminal convictions or charges, new data shows.

If he's somehow allowed to run again, there's only one suitable candidate to run against him: BARACK OBAMA.

I don't care if Bill Clinton, Dolly Parton or Jesus Christ himself is implicated in the Epstein files. Anyone who committed such crimes should burn. I believe that because I'm not in a cult.

Heres the White House number 202 456-1111. Tell Trump to make this stop. No more weapons for use on civilians- & children. People in Gaza need food, baby formula, medical supplies. And PEACE! Then they need help rebuilding, & basic human rights. Justice. CompassionπŸ’”

"I still don't really understand the working class attachment to Trump. This is what his real priorities are. This is what he cares about....He wants a fancy ballroom for his fancy balls." At least have a little taste!

On Trump, Gaza, and the Perils of a Blank Check for Israel Is the President flip-flopping on Israel's war, or just muddling through?

Far from ending the war in Gaza, Trump's blank check to Bibi has enabled it.

Weak jobs report drops. President Trump fires the messenger.

If only firing people brought down high costs or put more money in Americans pockets.

Americans were promised solutions – not tantrums.

The financial economy is immersed in the kind of wild gambling we saw leading up to the 2008 financial crisis.Β 

We’re seeing it all over again β€” this time with crypto, meme stocks, junk bonds, and investors pumping up shares of AI stocks without knowing what it is.

Be warned.

Prisoners at a federal prison camp are serving 10 yrs or less for non-violent crimes & have non-violent backgrounds

They often get to work in the community, such as cleaning at a VA hospital etc.

Trump's DOJ waved away Maxwell's violent crimes standing.

She is now just like a lowly pick-pocketer.

So now every civil servant compiling data in the Commerce and Labor departments for public reports will know if they put out numbers Trump doesn’t like they will be fired.

U.S. job growth turns cold as Trump’s agenda takes its toll on the economy The question for the White House is simple: β€œIf Trump has created a β€˜hot’ economy, why has American job growth slowed to a 16-year low?”

Over the first seven months of 2025, the economy has added 597,000 jobs.

Over the first seven months of 2024 β€” when Trump said the economy was terrible β€” the total was over 1 million jobs.

The firing of Erika McEntarferβ€”Commissioner of the BLSβ€”is how the Trump regime will start manipulating economic data.

On top of an already failing economy, none of our economic data will be reliable now.

This will lead to a crash, one that the fascists and oligarchs are positioned to benefit from.

Donald Trump thinks he’s winning on trade, but America will lose The harm from tariffs will be lasting and deep

A seductive idea is settling in that America is winning from Donald Trump’s trade war. But that thinking is deeply misguided. The game is not over. And it is one that America cannot win

From Bipartisan to Lapdog: Graham Pushes Treason Charges Against Obama Gabbard’s documents prove nothingβ€”but they tell us everything about the MAGA mindset.

Lindsey Graham just joined Tulsi Gabbard and Donald Trump in accusing President Obama of treasonβ€”with zero actual evidence.

Why? Because the Epstein scandal is boiling over, and they need a distraction.

Read how far Graham has fallen what this reveals.
