CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @dccartoonist.bsky.social )

Just a quick reminder. The second world war was STARTED by Russia who, allied with the Nazis, invaded Poland.

Then the US had to bail them out with lend lease so they could push back against Nazis after being betrayed.

Russia is a terrorist state

National parks are some of America’s greatest treasures. Targeting the NPS not only threatens the millions of acres of land it protects but also the very people who work tirelessly to make them accessible to the public. 🧵👇

I SURVIVED READING BANNED BOOKS ALL I GOT WAS SMARTER AND MORE EMPATHETIC

Tim Cook gave Trump a million dollars to stop this from happening and I for one am shocked that such a moronic fucking decision somehow backfired

Just got back to DC.

The healthcare battle is a matter of life and death.

House Republicans unveil Medicaid cuts House Republicans have unveiled the cost-saving centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”

Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" bill would kick hundreds of thousands in Illinois off Medicaid.

This isn't just belt-tightening, it's a death sentence for everyday Americans — all in the name of tax breaks for his friends at Mar-a-Lago.

Welcome

🚨 HUGE FLIP: Democrat John Ewing Jr. just turned Omaha blue—defeating the longest-serving GOP mayor in the country and becoming the city’s first Black mayor in history.

I'm going to start publicly calling out campaigns that text me because they bought my number from a list. Not just because I've run out of patience, but because if *I* am this annoyed, then I can't even imagine what it's doing to Democrats' reputation among casual voters.

FUCK THIS

It's always the people you most suspect...

I’m sure Elon won’t fire them if this continues because he will recognize it was his fault and accept full responsibility and he’s also a very compassionate boss.

I am positive that the folks who follow me already know this, but if you see a person being kidnapped off the street, put your body in the way.

Record it and get in the way.

Trump administration threatens to arrest House Democrats over ICE facility incident "There will likely be more arrests coming," a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said.

This is a full scale war on our Democracy and Freedom.

Good morning and happy Friday to everyone who voted for all three.

I’m watching additional video and the woman in the red jacket at the ICE facility in Newark who tried to stop ICE from arresting Ras Baraka and was shoved and pushed and assaulted is my rep, LaMonica McIver.

Abominable.

The cognitive dissonance just entered the confessional.

No, President Trump: Less traffic at our ports means less work for the men and women who run them, like the thousands of Marylanders who power the Port of Baltimore.

That's not a good thing. These tariffs will tear apart our economy and hurt our communities — and it's entirely Trump-inflicted.
