Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Paterson NJ is ~65% Hispanic,
~20% Black, ~10% white.

I’m sure that’s not at all a coincidence.

Democracy literally dies in bomb threats.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is on @cnn.com congratulating Dems—without mentioning @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social until pressed.

As a colleague said today, those opposing this president’s anti-democratic moves should also protest an “opposition” that refuses to be a real opposition party.

I agree.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

"getting snatched off the street by armed agents of the state, sent to the gulag, and then deported is the same thing as a multi-millionaire having his show cancelled.

I am very smart and get paid to share my ideas."

I can't stress enough that this is how is exactly how genocides are incited. They always use language to couch it in self defense to justify violence against their targets.

The GOP’s “megabill” isn’t just austerity—it’s a deliberate redistribution of power and resources away from working people, young Americans, and communities of color.

Listen in to learn how this bill will impact everyday Americans 🎧⬇️

going to keep saying: important for a society that would like to keep functioning to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

The USPS is a vital public service that serves every single community. Wells Fargo created a report outlining how they could break it up and sell it off - that would destroy jobs, raise prices, and gut service. Postal workers and the public are fighting back — and we won’t be sold out.

Maria is a genius. Legitimately.

Study: For 60 Years, Kids' TV Cast Boys As Doers And Girls As Passive New research reveals that the language in kid’s TV is reinforcing harmful gender stereotypes, and that little has changed in 60 years.  In some cases, it’s getting worse.

Study of 6,600 episodes of kids’ TV over 60 years finds boys portrayed as ‘doers’ and girls as passive. And male characters still dominate dialogue, 50% more than female characters. @kimelsesser.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

We just translated a wave of our ICE coverage into Spanish. No paywall, no email signup necessary. From leaks about Palantir's work with ICE to ICE's new facial recognition app, we think there is a massive public interest in this info. Read why and support us here: www.404media.co/were-publish...

They needed more time to Ctrl+Alt+Delete for Trump. 1,000 FBI agents and six months in office hasn’t been enough. #FrequentFlyer #PedoPrez

Six months of TREASON:
Using ILLEGAL staff to hack into every federal department
Clawing back each Congressionally appropriated cent
Dismantling all infrastructure that protects human LIFE
Kidnapping & disappearing denizens
Deporting American children, yes it’s happened
DOMESTIC TERRORISM

SMART Elections We're experienced, nonpartisan election security advocates.

In addition to Epstein claims, fElon tweeted Trump wouldn’t have won the election or house without him, but MSM only ran with one story. Wonder why 🤔🤔"He knows those computers better than anybody… Those vote-counting computers… So thank you Elon.” #Verify2024

She Won, Part III: The Devil Is In The Data 88 counties flipped red. None flipped blue. Trump swept every swing state—each just above the mandatory recount thresholds. What are the odds? About one in never.

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship.

That's just a true statement about the world!

Corporate media is not our friend. In fact, it's our enemy.

hey you guys remember when the white house photoshopped gang tats on a pic of an innocent man?

anyway, memories

Dem Party: We are spending $20M to figure out how to talk to male voters.

Mamdani: Save your money. I have +45 favorability with male voters & +73 with men under 45. Endorse me.

Dem Party: No way dude. Now—why is our favorability is -54? Let's spend $20M on wealthy consultants to figure it out!

I just heard a guest say on MSNBC that Trump likely doesn't have a case in his Wall Street Journal libel case unless he gets Judge Cannon. Everyone nodded and agreed. And it struck me that we've now reached the point where brazen corruption is just expected and accepted as a part of civic life.

If you’re a white nationalist whining about living in a multicultural America, and you hate diversity so much, why not go back to where your people came from? England, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Poland, Scotland, France… take your pick. 👇🏾

Remember the joke about needing a prescription for the side effects of your prescription? And how it turned out to not really be a joke? That's what most technology is becoming, solving problems caused by technology. We're not really advancing, more profitable to launch broken and sell a fix.

So grateful for the clear, unequivocal witness and voice of Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social who visited the horrifying detention camp in Florida. As he said, “I didn’t see any Russians who’ve overstayed their visas. Only Black & Latino men who look like me.” @maddow.msnbc.com

Tech bros don’t want to save the world. They want to own it, brand it, license it, and charge you a monthly fee to visit.

Youth baseball coach who protected and defended his kids when ICE-is showed up in Riverside Park to round up the Black and Brown kids.

His losing it here broke me.

A brush with ICE: Be prepared to prove citizenship Last weekend my sister-in-law’s brother — both are originally from New Mexico — was heading to Oklahoma to take care of some business. He thought he was going through a

The ICE agents did not care that he had a driver's license or service card. They also did not know or care about the fact his family, like many of us, has a 400-year history here in New Mexico. Their only concern was his last name — a very common Hispanic last name.

Search and Rescue is an immediate process, keyword: rescue.

Noem held up FEMA SAR teams for 72 hours. This was a flood situation, but at sea 72 hours is when the Coast Guard switches modes from rescue to recovery. After 72 hours, you’re dealing with body recovery.

Noem should be held accountable.

They do indeed.
