I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.
St. Paul Public Schools parents group needs about $63k more to keep 174 families housed. March is soon, rent will be due. Can you chip in? Can you share?
North Carolina’s @katebarrcanwin.bsky.social gave us the perfect metaphor for what we are all doing in this perilous moment.
From today’s Politics Chat, watch now on YouTube.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.
Idk how this would even work but Duke Energy has to be stopped. That can look like breaking up their monopoly or more regulation, but they can’t just keep raising people’s rates to pay for their poor decision making, investments, and whatever the hell is going on with these data centers.
I love all the AI commercials telling viewers about shortcuts for life during the Olympics, a sporting event famously known for athletes who have put the hard work in for decades to get where they are.

BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism?
BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism

“I went around the corner to see if spring was there.”
“Did you find it?” asked Toad.

NEW: In an alarming development, North Carolina’s GOP-led election board is considering a plan to label certain voters as “presumptive noncitizens,” potentially purging them from the rolls.
It's the latest move in an effort to politicize voter list maintenance and undermine election confidence.
This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.
Green Eyes - Husker Du (and a shout out to Minnesota)
BREAKING: Trump doesn’t support the 2nd Amendment.

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.
Jimmy Kimmel offers to let Trump have one of his trophies if he will pull ICE out of Minneapolis.
