Rahm Emanuel … For President? He’d like you to keep an open mind.

Just to be precise, when I say that the leaders who got us to this point cannot be the ones to get us to the next one, I specifically mean this chucklehead. Get the fuck outta here. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

So many own goals.
Once again: higher ed is one of our most successful exports. We export more higher ed to China than soybeans. And yet Trump and the mini-Trumps are deliberately destroying the quality of our product

Cuomo Earned Almost $5 Million From Consulting in 2024, Returns Show

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting."

We don't know who paid him.

Or who he now owes.

Regular Americans Are About to Take It On The Chin But Congress isn’t moved.

"The story of Trump’s authoritarian takeover is primarily a story of what Trump and his executive branch apparatchiks have done. But it wouldn’t be happening without an extraordinary degree of complicity, collaboration, and cowardice of congressional Republicans."

The evergreen Democratic circular firing squad. While the GOP gets away with any imaginable horror, lawlessness, and endless corruption, Democrats kill their own for the sake of purity.

Opinion | ICE lowered its standards and is still struggling to hire officers DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers β€” but it's not getting nearly enough applicants.

ICE is struggling to hire officers β€” even after lowering its standards. DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers β€” but it's not getting nearly enough applicants.

It looks like most Americans simply don’t want to be ICE thugs.

This and the Chicago indictments make it abundantly clear that the rule of law is dead at DOJ. The agency has been fully weaponized to smite Trump’s enemies and shield his friends.

Food allergy rates are falling. That’s a problem for RFK Jr.’s aluminum vaccine theory. Remember when doctors said keep babies away from peanuts?

The number of children who suffer from life-threatening food allergies has declined sharply since the government changed its guidelines around early exposure.

The new findings complicate RFK Jr.'s theory that food allergies are caused by small amounts of aluminum present in childhood vaccines.
