Hmmm... wasn't there a thing about no taxation without representation a few years ago....

Me too.

Richard Dawkins most famous reply to: "What if you're wrong?"

When my son came downstairs this morning, I thought he said "Batista", so I was like, "Oh, did Batista make an appearance at WrestleMania?"
He replied, "Mum, I said, it's Easter."
In my defense, it is WrestleMania this weekend, and that is about as close as it gets to a religious experience here!

I am not exaggerating when I say that the man next to me on my last flight to the USA watched short clips from tiktok the whole 9 hour flight!

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

they should. not doing so would be exactly the kind of failure that got us into this mess. people need to holler if action isn't taken.

CRAWFORD: “Wisconsin stood up and said justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale.”

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

there are like three overlapping scandals with signalgate — illegal distribution of sensitive government materials by top members of the administration, illegal attempt to circumvent records laws and possible unlawful use of military force — and democrats should be screaming about them all

@govevers.wisconsin.gov - With the highest respect, sir, please read below. The State of Wisconsin needs you now, more than ever. Please act, for the sake of free, and I mean, FREE, and fair elections.

didn't really see this guy being one of the only elected Dems who understands the moment but here we are

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

ARIZONA — Bernie on the Oligarchy: “From the bottom of my heart, I am convinced they can be defeated.”

you can say they're not sane or their arguments don't pass constitutional muster till you're blue in the face. they have the power. they're doing it. And unless they are stopped they will keep doing it.

Every American has the right to know what DOGE is doing with their personal information. I submitted a Privacy Act request to DOGE, demanding they tell me why they have my Social Security number and direct deposit information.

Sanders: Our life expectancy is about four years less than in other wealthy countries.

If you’re working class in America, you live 7-8 years shorter than people who are wealthy. Now, why is that?

The answer is not just healthcare. But it is the day-to-day stress that working people live under.

Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come.

We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

🔥 WATCH: “WHERE’S ELON MUSK?? If he found so much waste and fraud, why isn’t he here explaining it? You know why… because he’s out to privatize social security.”

Rep Larson lights up the DOGE con in committee.

one of the things i truly believe is that a significant portion of this country is in the grip of a death cult

My husband says I've created a shrine to my dad who passed away 5 weeks ago...I guess I have! I don't label myself as religious, but after I googled which religions use shrines, I like the ideas of Shinto, which is the belief in spirits in nature and honoring the ancestors who watch over us. ⭐

Don’t Tell Me Who God Is, We’ve Met And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

Wrote a new essay. You can read it for free and I’d love if you did!

If you dig it, share it!

Musk calls Sen. Kelly a 'traitor' over trip to Ukraine, Kelly hits back Elon Musk called Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly a "traitor" in a post on X after Kelly posted that he had visited Ukraine over the weekend.

Defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. If Elon doesn't understand that, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.

I think there are a lot of us who feel this way!

Beautiful.

I sure would like to know who has been buying the dips right before Trump announces he has changed his mind and reverses a tariff. Seems like valuable information in the markets to know when he announces a tariff and when he’s going to rescind it.

This morning, enjoy a strong #CupOfJoe courtesy of @algreen.house.gov! "I'll accept the punishment. It's worth it to let people know that there's some of us who are going to stand up"
Rise up! Let’s get in some #GoodTrouble!

oh wow a Democrat who knows how to message succinctly and effectively what's happening here why do I smell toast
