QUESTION: Who is your political inspiration?

SCHLOSBERG: “In the modern era, I love Nancy Pelosi… the most important female political figure in American history… the backbone of the Democratic Party… the reason we have the Affordable Care Act… she deserves a lot of credit for the example she set.”

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

The world feels crazy right now, but we won’t lose hope. We will get through this, together.

Bill Pulte runs an agency that oversees over half the mortgages in the US. And yet he has posted on social media all day every day for weeks about the mortgage of ONE person, who just so happens to be a Democratic appointee to the Fed Reserve with 11 years left in her term.

Weird, indeed.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @Rattoons1776)

WYDEN: Now the American Academy of Pediatrics is warning that the committee is being politicized at the expense of children's health. You think they're lying too?

RFK Jr: I think the American Academy of Pediatrics is gravely conflicted. Their biggest contributors are the 4 largest vaccine makers

Thou shalt not let a racist fascist rapist pedophile become a dictator and ruin all your lives.

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst.

Every dictator in history has lied.

Donald Trump is no different.

So cool，apparently bribes can be collected lying down🙄

What Price Would Trump Demand to Sell Out Ukraine? - emptywheel And all we're waiting to see on Trump's Friday meeting with Putin is what kind of deceit Trump adopts to pretend that his coming betrayal of not just Ukraine -- but the US itself -- is instead the pea...

And the outcome on Friday is not just about how much of UKRAINE Trump sells out -- it's about how many other nuisances of the Main Enemy, like rule of law and human rights, Putin can remove via his decade-long corruption of Donald Trump.

So amazing!🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏

I thought it was a copy-pasted photo🤣

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes.

Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items.

If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

Birds of a feather flock together

Texas Dems Offer Fiery Response After Abbott Threatens To Arrest And Expel Them For Leaving The State That is how you do it 👏🏼

And this is how it's done.

Hochul: "This is a war. We are at war. And that's why the gloves are off and I say, bring it on."

Hochul: "I will put saving democracy as my top priority at any cost. Bc it's under siege. Just like those who put on uniforms to fight battles across the ages. For centuries we stood up & fought. Blood has been shed. This is our moment in to stand up for all we hold dear & not let it be destroyed."

Lost the election.Lied about history.Fired the stats guy.Couldn’t face the truth

Apparently he thinks we're easy to fool🙄

And he can ignore everything and play golf

Rising unemployment, rising prices, rising hate, rising attacks on the rule of law. Great job, Donnie.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk created a Department of Government Efficiency that burned $21.7 billion in taxpayer money. Truly revolutionary to waste that much just trying to cut waste.

Just for comparison, we absolutely freaked out as a country over temporary single-digit inflation that cost the average household far less than this per year (& was almost fully offset by government transfers & income gains).
