Mike Johnson is running out of excuses for keeping the government shut down. Instead of doing his job, preserving affordable healthcare, or lowering costs for working families, he’s attacking millions of Americans who will peacefully protest to say that our country belongs to its people — not kings.

The "Peacemaker" Who Thrives on Chaos Trump’s Gaza deal may earn him applause — but his record of stoking violence at home shows he’s no champion of peace.

Trump’s Gaza deal may bring a welcome pause to years of bloodshed — but let’s be clear: one ceasefire doesn’t make him a peacemaker.
While he chases a Nobel Prize abroad, he’s been stoking violence at home.
Peace isn’t a brand. It’s a character test.

This federal judge appointed by President Trump found his claims of “chaos“ in Portland, Oregon “untethered to the facts.“

YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders Doctors Working for Starvation Wages Speak Up | Sen. Bernie Sanders

The sickest children from around the country are brought to Children's National Hospital for treatment.

The doctors who care for them work days on end for starvation wages.

These doctors deserve a fair bargain. NOW.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

Do you know the difference between the National Guard and ICE? The National Guard are your neighbors. They are members of your community. When deployed, they are there to help the community, not harm them.

Enough with the lazy stereotypes! Work requirements in healthcare punish those who are already struggling. The truth? Most folks are working or in school. We need a system that simplifies access, not one that begs for proof of worthiness. Let’s get real, America!

Sanctimonious Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest “joke” in the United States Senate, is at it again! “Dick” lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great “War Hero” who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam. He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years “fight for freedom” while in Vietnam. He stated that “the battles were violent and long, but there was no going back” - And then it happened, Blumenthal was found out to be a FRAUD. The soldiers in his so-called “platoon” came forward and said that they had no idea who this guy was. He was revealed, broke down and admitted, tears flowing from his eyes, that he LIED, a Whopper, one that lasted 20 year. This guy shouldn’t even be in the U.S. Senate. It should be investigated, and Justice should be sought. Right now there is a Congressman sitting in prison for lying about his past during a campaign. Well, those lies were nothing compared to those of Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the greatest phony in the history of the United States Senate. He should be allowed to speak no longer!

Trump posts that Sen. Blumenthal “should be allowed to speak no longer”

Country legend Zach Bryan has released a song that puts country over his own bank account.

The backlash from country fans will be massive- they’ll force him off country radio like they did to the Dixie Chicks but he doesn’t need radio access anymore

American hero 🇺🇸

I don't pray, but Dolly prays and i love her. I just read that she's doing poorly, so I'm sending this one out to her. (It's a fking banger, btw)

This is fascism.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

The American public is losing and the damage is piling up. Congrats to Schumer and Jeffries for leading us to mediocrity—congratulating corrupt Mayor Adams? Really? We can’t afford this kind of leadership. How much longer until we reclaim our narrative? #ProDemocracy

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective…

You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

How humiliating for the United States military

🙏🏽❤️‍🩹

I served with the National Guard in Afghanistan.

American cities are not “training grounds.”

What a disgusting concept.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

this is… not how it works.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

If Jimmy Kimmel gets suspended for mild comments about Tyler Robinson leaning MAGA, something not even off-base, why does Brian Kilmeade still have a job after suggesting murder? I’m not letting go of this. It’s the clearest example of the current disproportionate hypocrisy.

True :)

This reminds me of Chocolate chips - six dollars for Nestlé’s regular old chocolate chips! 😩

Saw that at the grocery store yesterday. I wanted to make cookies but decided, nope. 👎🏽

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

We must end the scourge of gun violence in America.

We also need to have honest conversations about the ways internet platforms profit from fear, hatred, and division.

Both are vital to the future of this country.

A Teacher Speaks Listen carefully to her words

As you know, I care a great deal about teaching and teachers. I wanted to share a piece written by a Minneapolis public school teacher titled “I’m Having Some Thoughts About Teaching.” Give it a read and let me know your thoughts. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/a-teacher-speaks
