This is an excellent idea!!!

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Two new polls out today for NYC mayor (including a Fox News poll) and both polls show Mamdani up 16 points. He is ahead on every major issue including crime. And in two way race with just Cuomo he beats him soundly. Let's do this NYC voters.

How dangerous is it really to work for ICE? According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

Yet, the Trump administration claims it needs to send the military into American cities because of the unique danger faced by federal agents enforcing immigration laws.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Republicans need to come back from their month-long paid vacation and do the work of democracy. Cancel the health care cuts. Reopen the government. Restore nutrition. Release the Epstein File. Cut the crap.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….”
🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

Good morning

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: “No words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

Sadly, we no longer live in a functioning democracy.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling.

It’s the People’s House after all.

So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Did anyone else see The TODAY show story on the NoKings peaceful demonstrations this morning? In the same story they talked about the random hunting stand that was found and the two past assassination attempts. What in the world did that have to do with peaceful marches for democracy?!

My feelings, exactly.
