Don’t try to joke with it. You’ll only make it mad.

Thune says Senate to consider voting bill but pushes back on demands for 'talking filibuster' Majority Leader John Thune says that the Senate will consider a bill to impose strict new proof-of-citizenship requirements in elections.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam.

Congress should be protecting our right to vote, not ripping it away from working people who have the right to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong:

"Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. 
I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. 
The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. 
Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge.
The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

Nekima on the Target boycott.

Everyone quit after Derrick Pouliot was traded. They all agreed it'd be funny if that was the last trade of the day.

When the Vice President eats his spinach, he tells you which cars are good. Which explains why Buick does so well in the ratings.

Opinion | North Carolina's elections offer more hope that 2026 is the year of the progressive Katelyn Burns: Progressive candidates in the pivotal swing state walloped several centrist incumbents who collaborated with Republicans on culture war issues.

For @ms.now I wrote about how progressive in the NC statehouse primary sent a warning to centrist Dems with a penchant for collaborating with Republicans on culture war issues like ICE and trans issues. www.ms.now/opinion/nort...

Should probably just send him to the Pens. Seems a good way for CBJ players (especially Russians) to find their game.

The Guardian demands we bring them pictures of Spider Man. Also demands to know what we think is so funny.

"I thought the joke was distasteful & unfortunate, & I think the way women are represented, it's a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats. Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior? It's not my responsibility."

The conversation about housing is all wrong.

For decades, governments haven’t built enough social homes. People are struggling. Yet refugees get blamed.

Our new video flips the narrative and focuses on the real issue.

Watch it. Share it. Let’s change the conversation.

Lost my job because I wasn’t sad Charlie Kirk died. In a few weeks, I’ll be transporting all 4 of these fur children from Los Angeles, 3,000 miles across the country to my hometown of Philadelphia. We could use your help.

The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.
