Republican politicians with gold standard healthcare telling Americans they don’t need affordable healthcare.

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

I think "vile" was used too early.

Let's try "UChicago professor posts social media comment on vile Dick Cheney hours after his death".

A bunch of file folders from the TV Series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

These are representative of the folders (I have a bunch more...) and I will choose one for you. (If there's one you HAVE to have, ping me separately, and I'll see what I can do!)

OK, I have a really, REALLY cool incentive prize here.

Donate $50 to help kids get the medical care they need through my Extra Life page, and I will send you an actual production-used file folder from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. They're all different and contain various documents.

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

A dog sits near a tall shoe rack filled with various types of shoes in a room with wooden flooring. All shoes are stacked on high shelves, out of the dog’s reach.

I was travelling and missed out on the $75K George offered me to attend a No Kings πŸš«πŸ‘‘ protest today, but it's not all bad. I invested the $50K I got for the 1st No Kings protest in the company that makes inflatable frog costumes. Who knew? πŸ’° 🐸

In a barely more normal time, the Speaker of the House would call Congress back to have a vote to keep the troops paid, putting pressure on Dems to take some heat off the GOP or look like the bad guys. But MAGA is too scared of a vote on releasing the Epstein files to do that.

I guess that's a better solution than simply having Congress back in session to quickly pass legislation to make sure troops get paid, because the imaginary donor solution doesn't get the 218th vote to release the Epstein files sworn in.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Report Potential Wrongdoing Under the Trump Administration Whistleblowers play a vital role in helping Congress conduct our constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities. If you have knowledge of corporate or government corruption and abuses of power; insights into the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates; or information regarding potential wrongdoing or waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars, your disclosure can make a difference.

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open.

We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

Our classrooms are not safe for us or regular students. Our universities canot be relied upon to protect us. You have to keep speaking up about this. Faculty already are, but we need folks who aren’t in academia raising the alarm for everyone else. The End.

I was listening to a podcast yesterday (iFanboy's Pick Of The Week @ifanboy.com) and one of the hosts paused before referring to a paddy wagon because he wanted to use a different term (surely aware of the ethnic root), but neither he nor the other hosts could think of one.

The Right has wanted to end public education ever since Brown V Board of Education. First they tried "religious" private schools that just happened to be all-white. When they were told their all-white schools would lose tax exemptions, they then started the Moral Majority to cover for their racism.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

The problem is that conservatives don't see it as they're giving up their freedoms and rights -- they believe the fascists when they divide the people, and actually enjoy that those "others" are having their freedoms and rights taken away.
