I am so confused. Isn't the current Mayor the one who should be rattled?

Reminder: this country literally had a revolution because they didnโ€™t want to pay tariffs on tea!

Tariffs are in the Constitutionโ€”and Congress has the power, not a wannabe king with a spray tan. Just sayin.

Trump fled the country for a taxpayer-funded golf trip and still got heckled by bagpipes, diaper signs, and headlines calling him a convicted felon.

Trump is trying to kill solar powerโ€”here's how to fight back Rooftop solar is a clean power miracle. Why are we killing it with red tape?

Trump is only a part of the problem, reports โ€ช@billmckibben.bsky.socialโ€ฌ: "Itโ€™s so cheap to build a solar panel now. Itโ€™s cheaper than producing a plank of woodโ€ฆBut weโ€™ve swaddled this engineering miracle in rolls and rolls of red tape to make it too expensive for American families.โ€

'You don't have immunity': Stephen Miller and ICE agents put on notice by legal expert Government employees who have been doing Donald Trump's dirty work during his second term should take note that the president recently admitted they may not have immunity for their actions.And that in...

Conservative George Conway just threw Trumpโ€™s appointeesโ€”Miller, ICE, and co.โ€”under the bus, warning immunity isnโ€™t guaranteed. After Trump admitted Obamaโ€™s crew had none, Conwayโ€™s basically saying: your legal nightmares are just getting started.

Massie on the DOJ saying they won't release more Epstein info because it could hurt victims: "That's a strawman ... they're hiding behind that ... it's the president's own AG, FBI director, children, and VP who said these files need to be released. We're just trying to hold their feet to the fire."

This is all so f*cking disgusting. The Republican Party is selling out survivors to protect a pedophile and save a predator from himself.

And the simple, gut-wrenching truth here is this: no one cuts deals with monsters unless they are terrified of the truth those monsters could unleash. And no one empowers a traffickerโ€”unless they have something they need to keep buried.

How come the GOP can always find the money to bailout corporations and give tax cuts to the rich, but there's never enough money to:
Protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.
Provide free lunch for hungry kids.
Provide healthcare for the sick.
