Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

On Tuesday, I met with Dairy Farmers of Canada. NDP’s message is clear: we will never back changes to supply management. Farmers warn “soft tampering” on Tariff-Rate Quotas risks Canadian food sovereignty. We’ll stand with them—always.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Brazil built *4.5 million homes* with just their public housing program in just 9 years - Brazil has an economy slightly larger than the size of Northern California's. The entire housing economy, including private home construction, built probably 750k homes in Northern California during this time.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

In military slang, a "blue falcon" is a supposed comrade whose actions harm fellow service members, often for personal benefit—essentially, someone who betrays or undermines their "buddies" (from the original euphemism "Buddy Fucker").

Creditors circle as cull controversy shines light on B.C. ostrich farmers' unpaid bills | CBC News After years of chasing debts through the courts, creditors of a high-profile ostrich farm in southeastern B.C. have filed paperwork against the Canada Food Inspection Agency in the hopes of recouping ...

So, this farm was poorly managed, they have zero proof they are part of antibody research, and they tried to pay a creditor whom they owe thousands to in *checks notes* body products? What a mess! #OstrichCull #AvianInfkuenza #BirdFlu #CanadaSky #Canada #BritishColumbia

Such a desperate rat with Trump-like hair gnawing at the U.S. Constitution, surrounded by tattered flags and a broken Liberty Bell. A dark metaphor for power at any cost. No disrespect to rats! #PoliticalSatire #USConstitution #Commentary #Soldairity

I love the idea of reclaiming the word "antifascist," casting it in a positive light to counter the BS coming from maga

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period.

We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

Leavitt isn’t your regular, garden variety liar. She’s a serial liar of the lowest order. The intentional disdain & malice with which she lies is a grave disservice to the press & Americans. She knowingly repeats falsehoods and misinformation at the behest of a man hellbent on destroying Democracy.

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels.

I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them.

Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy.

Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.
