Uphill battle here but solidarity with Texas Democrats- they are standing up for democracy - they deserve all the appreciation and love from around the country for fighting till the end.

He straight up, deliberately lies about demonstrable facts (the jobs revision happened before not after the election and Trump called it out at the time!) and no reporter challenges him on it. No
Sunday show host challenged his officials about his lies. He gets away with it.

I don't say this lightly: The New York Times should fire the reporter and editor who chose to present a leak from the white house as if it was a leak from Harvard.

Don't print lies in the newspaper

lol I hope somebody holds them to this. The end of all disease within 10 years. Okay, sure. I would be happy to be proven wrong by these snake oil salesmen, but I think we all know this is not gonna happen.

MAGA Inches Closer to a Ghislaine Maxwell Alliance Is perpetrating heinous crimes against children too big a hurdle for a political alliance of convenience? Maybe not.

"Not even a month ago, the idea of Trump supporters openly embracing a convicted child sex trafficker would have been unimaginable." Well, Trump sure grows some folks' imaginations.

from AOC email:

'3,000 backpacks with supplies, ready to go to thousands of kids in need across The Bronx and Queens: 

[photos of donated backpacks at the AOC Organizing Base]

'I  want to stress that it wasnโ€™t just donations, but also your time, effort, and presence that made this happen too.

Our office was FILLED with supporters on Tuesday night, creating community and hand-packing thousands of backpacks with supplies so that we are ready to go a month ahead of time for thousands of kids to go back to school.'

@aoc.bsky.social's emails let people know how her office helps constituents, in this case with 3000 backpacks for kids who need back to school supplies.

Does your rep do anything like this? If not, why not?

Now That Theyโ€™re Free, Venezuelan Men Want the World to Know What They Endured in CECOT Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration say they endured months of physical and mental abuse inside a Salvadoran prison. Though happy to be home, they say the fact that they were releasedโ€ฆ

Leonardo Josรฉ Colmenares Solรณrzano, a 31-year-old Venezuelan, wants the world to know that he was tortured over four months in a Salvadoran prison.

He said guards stomped on his hands, poured filthy water into his ears and threatened to beat him.

The cesspool of mind, body, and soul the party of death lemmings call dear leader thinks we wonโ€™t remember because he canโ€™t. And they canโ€™t.

But it isnโ€™t all of America with early onset of dementia. Just them.

The party of death doesnโ€™t care about health care. Unless itโ€™s for billionaires.

They love cake. They donโ€™t care if we eat at all.

Obviously. Also because the party of death has proof the earth rides on the back of a giant turtle. And the earth is flat. The moon is made of cheese. And the sun wears cool shades
