Donald Trump just put a 10 percent tariff on the Heard Island and McDonald, which has a population of zero people and is inhabited only by penguins.

hahaha fuck yes

On the up side I spent a lot of time recently with really pissed off elderly people and poor people and they get it. They get power. And they get bullies. It’s the credentialed among us who are struggling.

List of transphobic dems in MI state house:

Alabas Farhat-Dearborn, Peter Herzberg-Westland, Tullio Liberati-Allen Park, Denise Mentzer-Mt Clemens, Reggie Miller-Van Buren Twp, Will Snyder-Muskegon, Angela Witwer-Delta Twp & Mai Xiong-Warren

They joined R's on resolution banning trans athletes

So what’s going to happen when your loved one’s nursing home is shut down bc of #MedicaidCuts?
Well if you can afford to move them to another, you better hope there’s room bc any private ones that don’t depend on Medicaid will fill up fast.

If not, they’re moving in w you & are under YOUR care now!

A lot of rural folks are way more progressive than most people (or frankly themselves most of the time) realize. My husband harps a lot on political candidates needing to speak to rural progressivism to be successful. It sounds different but the base values are the same.

talking about banning SSRI's before banning guns is a wild choice with WILD consequences. Is this timeline real anymore!?

Last night Canadians again booed the US anthem and they were right to do so.

Venting at Democrats and Fearing Trump, Liberal Donors Pull Back Cash (Gift Article) Demoralized donors are frustrated with Democrats’ failings and worried about retribution from the president. Their frugality has left liberal groups struggling to fight the new administration.

If Dem donors feel like they’re being grifted or not getting their money’s worth, they’re not going to give. This is fixable with strong ethics rules and a clear strategy.

One of the attorneys who just resigned instead of taking Trump's corrupt order to dismiss charges against Eric Adams - a Bronze Star veteran - wrote a letter that should echo through history.

This puppy was a very good boy at the vet today. ❤️ #pitbull #dogs #basilofdownthestreet

He also had trazadone so his face is extra smushy.

Trump's CFPB, now under the command of billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, has halted the Biden admin's rule to ban medical bills from credit reports.

It's been estimated that the rule would help improve the credit scores of 15 million people.

Some populist, huh?

#ConcentrationCamps are here.

As food and gas prices increase please ... If y'all need help, you have help here. Nobody gets left behind. We'll get through this together

Hell what about Watergate? Like I'm pretty sure presidents have been forced to resign over less... WHERE IS CONGRESS!?

Where are the sit-ins, the massive protests. Let's get hundreds of thousands of people together and take the issue to this fucker's front door. Where the hell is CONGRESS!?!?!?

Federal employees told to remove pronouns from email signatures by end of day Employees at multiple federal agencies were ordered to remove pronouns from their email signatures by Friday afternoon, according to internal memos obtained by ABC News.

Oh man... The pronouns will be in big, bold font and the biggest part of every signature of every email I send now. I might need to just start signing my name with she/her they/them after it. Ya know... Plus the letters and stuff. abcnews.go.com/US/federal-e...

This is why the Democrats actually need to adopt a progressive platform for once...

This is a hostile takeover. It's getting to the point where accepting "Welp we're going to sue him" feels woefully inadequate. When someone shows up to your house and kicks the door down, you don't say "well I gotta sue em to get him to stop the damage and leave"... www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

There is no common ground when it comes to confirming appointments of a fascist regime or expansion of police powers to facilitate ripping people out of their homes.

I've been so disappointed in both of them. I feel like there's no fight in them. I'm all for common ground and working together but for that to work, both parties have to enter in good faith.
