Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Before anyone gets mad at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, listen to Kate. Justice Jackson didn’t side with Trump: she issued a temporary stay to prevent a rushed ruling that could let presidents exploit shutdowns to bypass Congress. Her move protects SNAP recipients & constitutional checks & balances

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

The bronze statue shows two men frolicking, grinning wide and holding hands, each with a foot joyously kicked back. β€œWe celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his β€˜closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein,” a plaque at the bottom of the spray-painted bronze installation reads. A permit from the National Park Service will allow the statue to stay on the National Mall grounds through 8pm on Sunday. Continue reading...

Welcome to fascism, America!

Karen Attiah, a Black female opinion columnist at the Washington Post, was fired for directly quoting Charlie Kirk in a post.

She posted HIS racist words and was fired for it.

@washingtonpost.com is a propaganda rag for this fascist regime. Full stop.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719.

Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M β€” 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469.

Textbook corporate greed.

De Georgiou: And to be clear, the only motive for opposing this bill would be to conceal wrongdoing. You have a choice: stand with the truth or with the lies that have protected predators for decades.

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

Why do you appreciate unions?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

Let’s be clear about what’s really going on over at Target. They’re playing us.

The current CEO, will β€œstep down,” but he’s moving up to exec chair of the Board of Directors. That’s rewarding his failure.

The new CEO, is the current COO & has been w/Target for 20 years.

Nothing’s really changing.

My name is Captain Dylan Blaha, and this message is for members of the National Guard across the USA.
I've served in the Illinois Army National Guard for over 12 years, including a deployment to Afghanistan and three years on active duty in Europe.
What's going on right now is not normal.

β€œWhy do they need masks? They’re federal officials, they’re paid by the taxpayers. They should be doing their jobs in a way that’s lawful and constitutional, and that’s part of the job.”

DC Mayor Bowser questions why so many federal officers in the capital continue to cover their faces.

Federal judge orders closure of Trump’s β€˜Alligator Alcatraz’ immigration jail Judge’s order finds jail, which has attracted waves of criticism, was causing severe harm to Florida Everglades

Victory! Miami federal judge has ordered the closure of the notorious Alligator Alcatraz immigration jail w/in 60 days, & ruled no more detainees were to be brought there.

The ruling builds on a previous restraining order that halted construction work at the camp.

First it was troops in L.A., sent to provoke and assault peaceful protesters under the banner of β€œimmigration enforcement.” Now it’s troops in our capital to disappear the homeless. See the pattern? Sooner or later, the monster comes for us all.
