The main polarization at this point in our existence is the tension between people who believe in democracy and the people who don't.

Which side of history are you going to be on?

Speak the truth, and demand that your elected officials do better. Tell them to honor their oaths of office.

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked.

Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.

The Ukrainians have proved themselves to be brave, persistent and unwilling to forsake their independence to a murderous dictator. A good model for Americans.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

A Judge’s Ardent Plea for Free Speech Reflecting on the wisdom of a Reagan-appointed district judge who stands up for the First Amendment rights of non-citizens that this regime is seeking to deport

Noem & Rubio “deliberately & with purposeful afterthought” sought “intentionally to chill the rights of freedom of speech & peacefully to assemble.”The judge’s view tells us with utter clarity their level of hostility to our beloved country & the Constitution.

Those responsible for compiling the jobs report don’t have jobs anymore, hence there will be no jobs report this month.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

In Some States, Strapped Counties Must Impose Trump’s Medicaid Cuts

Coloradans are already seeing Republicans’ Medicaid and SNAP cuts as neighbors lose health care and food help. Now Trump’s shutdown threatens to double premiums for millions more. Colorado Democrats are fighting to keep care affordable and end Trump's shutdown.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Photo of an X post by Scott MacFarlane (@MacFarlaneNews ) featuring a screenshot of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) homepage. The post text reads: "The banner on the homepage of the U.S. Dept of Housing and Urban Development now splashes an alert about 'The Radical Left in Congress...'" followed by "It's quite something to see that on a .gov website operator by government employees." The screenshot shows a banner on the HUD website with the text: "The Radical Left in Congress shut down the government. HUD will use available resources to help Americans in need." The background includes an image of houses at sunset and a quote: "God blessed us with this great nation, and together, we can increase sufficiency for Americans to climb the economic ladder toward a brighter future - Secretary Scott Turner."

Similar messages went up on other government sites, all in violation of the law. If you think this makes you look less culpable, Donald, you’re sorely mistaken.

Drifting home, caught by a gulf stream
Never gave a thought for tomorrow
Let tomorrow be, yeah

Advising these guys to turn OFF their cameras? Wake up America!

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Why your health insurance may soon cost a lot more Millions will be paying substantially more for health insurance next year, according to multiple surveys. Insurers cited tariffs and demand for obesity drugs.

“Health insurance costs in the United States are on track for their biggest jump in at least five years…

“For the 24 million enrollees of Affordable Care Act insurance plans, costs are expected to rise by more than 75 percent next year…”

Stephen Miller: "The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me ... we are gonna do that."

Senators: Pentagon Has Not Given “Any” Justification for Caribbean Boat Strike “There is no evidence — none — that this strike was conducted in self-defense,” said Sen. Jack Reed.

Unidentified law enforcement agents detain parent near Portland school, superintendent says Superintendent Ryan Scallon said the incident outside Talbot Community School, which occurred after the parent dropped off their child, has had a 'chilling' effect on the city's school community.

Unidentified law enforcement agents detained a parent after they dropped their child off at a school in Portland yesterday, the district’s superintendent said in a letter to the school community.

If this guy from a gun loving Republican family concluded at some point, according to one alleged piece of evidence that Kirk was “filled with hate,” he came to that conclusion AS AN INDIVIDUAL, and people who support the Democratic Party have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, you scumbags.

"The professors have to go away" -- Fox News is really trying to make fetch happen tonight with the anti-college stuff

People are going to learn a lot about Groypers, Pepe the Frog, Furries, Helldivers 2, 4Chan and a bunch more this weekend.

And they will be absolutely terrified.

For the 1st time in U.S. history Senate Republicans gave up the power of advise & consent. As Senator Chris Murphy explains, instead of approving one nominee Senators can now approve any number whether it’s 100, 500, 1,000 etc. this is absolutely a disgrace & one step closer to fascism. DISGUSTING!🤬
