🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

"You can't lead the people if you can't love the people."

We're all with you, @booker.senate.gov

The only thing being liberated today is money from the bank accounts of hard-working Americans.

I don't want Canada or Greenland…

I want PBS, Social Security, and The Smithsonian.

CAN YOU SAY THE SAME?! 🤚

Someone today needs some flowers

The stock market is down again, but according to conservatives that doesn't matter anymore

“It is not all for naught—people can be persuaded away from cruelty and viciousness. And there is some hope on the other side,” says Chris Hayes on the “shining example” of democracy in action.

Five things Donald Trump accomplished this week:

1. Promised more tax cuts for billionaires
2. Further abandoned our ally Ukraine
3. Flip-flopped on tariffs and tanked the stock market
4. Completely ignored skyrocketing prices
5. Went golfing

Hope this helps, Elon.

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love. This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water. And justice is a river that demands you do not give up on it. -Nakita Gill

Mount Holyoke Bulb show never disappoints.
Cant wait for spring!

Dear world, please do not judge us harshly. Most of us are good-caring people, and we hate him too.

Pass it on.

Neal: "Look at the alignment. $1.2t here for cuts, but $1.2t for tax cuts. Oh, let me figure that one out. They are going to cut Medicaid to justify what it is that they want to do."

“You’re terminated because…?”

Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside.

DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

Attention working-class Americans:

Republicans’ new budget does NOT include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, or no tax on Social Security.

Instead it protects tax handouts for billionaires and makes way for the largest Medicaid cut in history.
