on this day in 1609 Shakespeare's sonnets are first published.

“Love is not love which alters it when alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove: O no! It is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken; it is the star to every wandering bark whose worth's unknown,...

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid.

Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt.

Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

How Americans view Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg Just over half of U.S. adults (54%) say they have an unfavorable view of Musk, and two-thirds of Americans have an unfavorable view of Zuckerberg.

Young voters really don't like Elon Musk.

His unfavorability is 54% with all voters. 67% with voters under 30.

Feels important for a party that needs to win a much bigger share of young voters.

Just a reminder that what he's talking about is the private information about every American and business, and there are laws against this access. "Transform the way the government works" by doing what? Targeting opponents? Microtargeting political ads so Republicans never lose?

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening?

In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control.

Call it what it is.

Why does China get lighter tariffs than Mexico or Canada?

Why is USAID - the agency countering China's global influence - being shut down illegally?

Follow the money. Musk and his SV bros will do anything - even pledging allegiance to socialism - to make $$ in China.

Kash Patel should never be allowed inside the FBI. He is perhaps the most dangerous of all the Trump nominees. He shamelessly wants to turn the agency into Trump's loyalty police.

I'm going to Senate floor at 4pm to raise the alarm for my Republican colleagues.

Hundreds of wolves are killed each year in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service predicts that rampant wolf killing under state laws could reduce the region's wolf population from an estimated 2,534 wolves to as few as 667.

These wolves need protection. Take action. ⬇️

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Yosemite halts camping reservations, with no timetable for their return Yosemite halts camping reservations, with no timetable for their return at a time when federal employees are being laid off

Want to go visit the national parks this year?
Sorry.
The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired.
