I love Chris Newman. Every time I want to write off farmers or lump them all together, I remember there are famers like Chris and I feel more hopeful.

Everyone knew about Sean “Diddy” Combs. Everyone knew about R. Kelly, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and Jeffrey Epstein. Everyone knew about Donald Trump. I’m so tired of people protecting rich perverts, keeping their dark secrets for decades. So damn tired.

It wasn't Hitler or Himmler who kidnapped me, beat me, and shot my family.
It was the shoemaker, the milkman, and the neighbor who were given uniforms and then believed they were the master race."

DHS posted a sizzle reel about it.

I HATE every single person who ever voted for this piece of shit. I'm ashamed of how many of them I'm related to, and I HATE them all. These cosplay terrorists need to be sent to GITMO with the same due process they've given these people.

I was just saying I don't understand why we bother having a Hatch Act if we don't enforce it. I guess it's only a law that Democrats have to follow?

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Free viral video idea: “shutdown” to the beat of “takedown” from k-pop demon hunters. you’re welcome. youtu.be/l8Dr7vzMSVE?...

Of course! That's how MTG came up with Jewish Space Lasers.

I have that very same thought every time I read The Bulwark and remind myself how many of them worked for Bush 1 or 2. Younger me would've been horrified to know that the Republicans moved so far to the right we have more in common with Bush era Neo-cons. The friggin architects of the War on Terror!

A new book lays out how John Roberts was pitching himself to George W. Bush for a Supreme Court seat at the same time he was presiding over a controversial case involving Bush's administration.

So true. Sadly, I think the opportunity has passed and should have occured on Jan 20th at 12:01 PM.

If telling the truth raises the temperature, perhaps too many lies have been passed off as truth. I always say bias in journalism isn't the problem, it's the lack of truth and facts. Ezra Klein is a massive disappointment and it's a shame MSNBC helped launch him.

‘We’re In Danger’: Leonard Peltier Has A Warning About Trump In a sit-down interview, the Indigenous rights activist reflects on his nearly 50 years in prison, why he thinks Biden bucked the FBI to free him, and how tribes are “in danger” under Trump.

@jbendery.bsky.social has this interview for @huffpost.com with Leonard Peltier.

Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomo’s actions. But they won't decide this election.

In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas — and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.

Why a Pennsylvania Court Election This November Could Matter in 2028

In my opinion, the 2nd most important election this November (after CA Redistricting) is the trio of Pennsylvania State Supreme Court retention elections.

Many in PA are unaware, and we need to fix that.

All 3 Justices MUST be retained.

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders.

I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

I decided it would be a good idea to compile all my reporting on this topic in one place, so that other people wanting to get a glimpse into this mindset / mentality have a good starting point. You can find that list here. www.linkedin.com/pulse/intern...

What would happen if the fire department removed the fence? I'm not sure ICE tasing first responders or running them over with their SUVs would play as well with Fox viewers as much as owning the Libs does. Keep up the great work, all of you!
