As such, anticorruption policy actors are increasi...

Amendment which strikes section which “allows senators who were legally subpoenaed during the January 6 criminal conspiracy investigation to get millions of dollars deposited into their bank accounts at taxpayer expense” voted down by Republicans

We are leaving this one with you, as we call it a night!

This Veterans Day, we thank our military heroes for selflessly protecting our freedoms and American way of life.

California is committed to supporting the roughly 1.5 million veterans who call the Golden State home.

Message to our friends from our hoomom. If able plz consider donating to a group that provides food for the beloved pets of people struggling right now. Our mum grew up very poor & remembers how hard it was to feed the family & their pet. Share some kindness. Love you all 🩷

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I'm in a Costco parking lot and just called Schumer and my senator. CALL NOW.

Enjoy your Caturday morning!

Grundel Wasp nest Cephalobiotic (OP) Ah, that would explain the wasps!

why do I find this not just funny but really deeply hilarious

lol this is like my Chihuahua lately deciding he likes to stretch out laterally on the bed and finding it annoying when I try to redistribute him. 🐕

He knows he looks good on red.

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city.

So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

I’m so sorry. We are so lucky to be stewards of these furry marvels. My thoughts are with your family.

Things are so mean-spirited right now, this made me tear up. In the gratuitously cruel age of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Mike Johnson, it's comforting to be reminded that there still are decent human beings that walk amongst us. Thank you, Heretic Coffee in Portland.

This is so blatantly fascistic I don’t know what to say.

Thank you! How are you feeling?

I should’ve learned this by now but DO NOT use FedEx. The diseased monkeys I ordered haven’t arrived and I can’t get a straight answer on what happened to them

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

it's crazy that if you're a cat, your only two life outcomes are eating out of a trash can or getting treated like a little baby

Convince people you are a Timelord by saying “Ah! Gallifrey!!” in a booming voice as you emerge from a portaloo. #TopTips

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.
