this is not just a side effect of Trump’s policy of immunity for criminals who support him. It’s the entire point. And it’s alarming that it falls to states, not the federal government, to enforce basic things like “don’t threaten to kill members of congress”.

Over five million Americans gathered at more than 2,000 No Kings protests in June — and Saturday is going to be even bigger. Let’s show up with more people, in more places, bringing more signs and songs and joyful defiance than anything we’ve done before: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Donald Trump building a $200 million ballroom for billionaires to bend the knee for special favors

I didn't know draining the swamp meant Donald Trump building a $200 million ballroom for billionaires to bend the knee for special favors.

Opinion: Why I'm handing in my Pentagon press pass Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says.

You don’t have to worry about stuff. Just be zen and let the beautiful waves smash you into the rocks

One of my heros. I was lucky to get to see her speak.

Just wondering if anyone would have sagely scolded my ancestors in the camps if they said "Fuck Germany."

Would you have called them bigots or said "Yeah the camps are bad but Germany has a right to exist?"

Got vaxxed and took a Tylenol.

This administration’s staggering corruption is dangerous beyond belief. And it’s a complete slap in the face to every single family working hard to put food on the table.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

A president who is crashing the economy, destroying public health and terrorizing immigrants keeps slipping in the polls. He could:
A) stop his bad behavior to stem the slide
or
B) try to crush free speech to cover up his failures.
Right now, he’s choosing B.

If I worked for ABC, CBS, or Disney, I would quit too. As it is I will boycott all 3. This will kill MSM

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

Censorship. Book banning. Museum sanitization. Are these the activities of a strong government...or a scared and weak government?

What is happening to our country

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

We must stand up for working Americans who are hurting in Trump’s failed economy.

The U.S. said it would burn $9.7 million of birth control. Its fate is still unclear Questions about their fate swirled after the government's July deadline for destruction came and went. Then came a false report they'd been incinerated. Aid groups say it's not too late to save them.

For months, $9.7 million worth of birth control meant for women in low-income countries has sat stranded in a Belgian warehouse — apparently destined for destruction — as a result of the Trump administration's freeze on foreign aid.

Democracy is dying in darkness.
