It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!

Jonas Gray! Totally forgot about him.

Someone must stop these low-wage servants from buying all the houses!

No argument here.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

If Schumer thinks a no vote will absolve him of responsibility, he’s dead wrong. He’s the minority leader. It‘s his job to keep Senate Dems in line — or to hand over the job to someone who can.

Another pitchers’ duel in LA?

Democrats considering voting yes should take their cues from the crowd at the Commanders game who gave Trump what he deserved:

Shame on you, Jeanne Shaheen. Where are your obligations to your constituents and your party?

Trump administration says states must "immediately undo any steps" to send full SNAP benefits The U.S. Department of Agriculture, in a late-night Saturday memo, also threatened to impose financial penalties on states that did not comply with the government's new orders.

Imagine if they fought this hard to make housing, healthcare, and daily life more affordable.

What an embarrassment that this world-class dumbass is a U.S. Senator.

Fascist ghoul Stephen Miller — immensely powerful despite being unelected and likely unelectable— attacking public servants as being “elected by no one and accountable to no one.” Totally lacking self-awareness or simply shameless?

Naturally the lying, cheating, miserable excuse for a human being doesn't mention this: "This year’s basket contains 15 products, six fewer than the 21 products in the 2024 basket."

"This administration professes to be so concerned about lawlessness that it is deploying troops to confront American citizens in our own cities, while it removes the constables patrolling our financial markets."

Remember this the next time Karoline Leavitt, spiritual descendent of Joseph Goebbels, repeats the lie that "This is the most transparent administration in history."

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Metaphor made literal.

A worthwhile read. Unfortunately, the people most in need of its message wouldn't take the time to read it and, even if they did, either wouldn't comprehend or would simply dismiss.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Trump Is Very Confused About Nuclear Weapons The president says he wants to resume nuclear testing but doesn’t seem to know why.

The president wants to resume nuclear testing. This is a really bad idea - and he can't even get his facts right about why he wants to do it:

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Contrary to what Steven Miller and Fox say, there is no meaningful opposition to the deportation of persons guilty of violent crimes, or serious crimes in general. The question is short-circuiting legal processes to deport people who have a clean, upstanding record simply because their skin is dark.

Among more recent sketches, I hope you introduced her to “Black Jeopardy,” featuring Tom Hanks.

Well, that’s a shame.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Sarah Matthews: "If I were the Democratic Party, I'd be talking about how Trump is still raging on Truth Social all day about the 2020 election. I'd be pointing out it is 2025. You are the current president… Grow up. It is time to govern. Reopen the government. Do your job."
