Loser Mike Johnson is pissed that we’re gaining ground in forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits.

So let’s get even louder:

Fine, even if out with some jammy dodgers and a Jaffa cake, if they’re philistines.

John Oliver and Co did a great explanation of what public media does, and who exactly the funding recission actually hurts (Hint: it's not liberal elites.) Also very proud to see my old friend and former WBEZ reporter Lauren Chooljian featured for her amazing work.

Yeah, it’s the “protests” rocking the city and causing disruption in people’s lives.

Lived there for 6 years until last year. I’m pleasantly surprised to see this much community engagement

My father famously got the comment “Shows lack of respect for authority” in his equivalent section back in the sixties. They were right and my grandparents did nothing to address it, but still, the mark was there 😆

Authoritarian governments are not new to this country. If you want to know what comes next should resistance fail, look to the history of Black resistance in the South.

NEW: EXCLUSIVE: I spoke to sources at FBI and DOJ that reviewed the Epstein files. It’s worse than the photos. I’ll let you know what they said today at 3:30 PM PT / 6:30 PM ET on @meidastouch.com. Link to show: www.youtube.com/live/hEi77Ib...

Without checking the answer I’m gonna guess that, from cheapest to most expensive, it goes 1, 4, 2, 3.

I could easily be wrong, but I’m trying to look at the details like the stitching on the edge of 4, the peak lapels, less expensive looking buttons, plainer fabrics, etc.

Going into this holiday season with a shutdown throwing a massive monkeywrench in air travel, I think it is important to remember that Biden and @petebuttigieg.bsky.social put regulations on airlines to make it easier to get recompensed for a delayed or canceled flight. Trump took those away.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.
