Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

THERE IT IS

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.

But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

Carrie Underwood is dead to me now, which means my current condition of not being able to name a single song of hers is permanent

Pete Hegseth is not qualified to run a bathroom.

For those of you glued to the Hegseth confirmation and may have missed it, Nancy Mace screamed that she was a grown woman and then immediately challenged Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett to physically fight her… so there’s that. Mace continues to be an embarrassment.

Newsom blasts Republicans for politicizing wildfire aid to CA: ‘I have a different definition of leadership’ Following threats from House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans to condition wildfire aid to California, California Governor Gavin Newsom blasted Republicans for politicizing this tragedy.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on the push by Republicans to put conditions on aid to California: “That's the face of leadership in the United States? Conditioning aid to the American people in need?... Visit with these folks. And let's have a conversation after that.”

ICYMI—Highlights from today’s Pete Hegseth confirmation hearings. 🔥

SPOILER: Pete Hegseth was gaslighting the entire time, because he knows he isn’t qualified or worthy to serve as Defense Secretary.

Pete Hegseth getting all these women to sign nondisclosure agreements means he has a lot of embarrassing skeletons in the closet.

Don't think Putin doesn't know what they are. #Blackmail

Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation. When the company announced on Jan. 7 that it would end its fact-checking partnerships, the company also instructed teams responsible for ranking content in the company’s apps to stop penalizing misinformation, according to sources and an internal document obtained by Platformer. The result is that the sort of viral hoaxes that ran roughshod over the platform during the 2016 US presidential election — “Pope Francis endorses Trump,” Pizzagate, and all the rest — are now just as eligible for free amplification on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads as true stories.

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

Pete Hegseth is the dumber version of Brett Kavanaugh.

Honestly, the Dems questions today for Hegseth seemed weak, and they let him get away with too much. They need to do better

physics of climate impacts 101:
- Stuff gets hot (worse heatwaves)
- Hot air holds more water vapor (heavier rainfall)
- Hot air is thirstier air (higher drought risk)
- Warm water is hurricane food (stronger storms)
- Hot water expands and hot ice melts (sea level rise)

Senator: I’ll speak in his defense because to err is human. Who among us hasn’t shown up drunk to work? Who here hasn’t cheated on their wife?

Hegseth: Please stop helping me

Senator: Who hasn’t taken off their pants at the zoo?

I’m not even remotely worried about a trans woman being in my bathroom, but I’m fucking sick with worry about a serial sexual abuser being in my White House.

remarkable to me that far from seeming cool or masculine zuck seems like an even bigger loser — the kind of nerd who preemptively gives his lunch money to the bully and thanks him for the opportunity

If you voted for a convicted felon over a woman of color, racism might not be your only problem.

Khloe Kardashian is smack talking LA Mayor Karen Bass over the wildfires.

In 2022, Khloe used roughly 101,000 gallons of water over the allotted limit during a drought.

Her sister Kim Kardashian used 232,000 gallons over the limit.

Bish needs to sit TF down.

This is irrefutably true. Let’s see how long it lasts.

Thanks to all who were concerned if our house survived the fires. Amazingly enough... it did. My heart goes out to everyone who weren't as fortunate, not only in my neighborhood, but all of Los Angeles. Together, we will get through this! ❤️-mh
