I like writing, whiskey, politics, and sports. I deplore the American fascist government. Oh, and I'm the world's worst Buddhist.

Asking the government to help with your healthcare? I thought they considered they socialism.

I’m glad that Scott can get help from the White House. Now, what about the millions of other Americans facing steep, premium hikes who also need assistance?

Take it from me, a former Republican, Republicans do not have a healthcare plan. They don’t.

Reminder that Spotify has still not gotten rid of their ICE ads. They think they can just stay silent without answering to the public. Let’s show them how wrong they are, let’s hit them where it hurts! These corporations don’t understand anything unless it hurts their bottom line.

We’re giving $40 billion to Argentina.

This is $5 billion MORE that the entire USAID budget that DOGE cut.

A president imposing tariffs (on us) because he’s annoyed (by a real ad not fake) is not how the law works.

We are off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

As long as there is no punishment for grifting, the grifting will continue and get worse. . It’s that simple.

Raise cost for healthcare by thousands of dollars, then send them $100 checks with a Trump signature. Have you even said thank you yet?

Trump says if he invokes the Insurrection Act, ”there is no more court cases, there is no more anything.”
By “no more anything” he means no more democracy.

Excellent No Kings turnout in Tampa and it was totally peaceful. I also felt like we learned something from Portland.

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

Lots of Republicans quietly agree that something needs to be done about the Trump-led healthcare cost crisis. We must get the GOP on the record to pressure leadership into negotiating an end to the Trump Shutdown: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

The destruction of objective truth and the devaluation of basic facts have proven to be Trump’s greatest weapons (and his most damaging impacts).
