If you’re able to donate to food banks, don’t forget to ask your local shelter if they have a pet food bank. Shelters are always overwhelmed when things are good, but when money gets tight pets are one of the first things people get rid of. I know it’s a relief for people to have help for their pets

Republicans mostly silent as millions of Americans protest Trump on No Kings day Outside of typical remarks from Donald Trump, JD Vance and Mike Johnson and a Fox News report, party stayed mum

Even The Guardian couldn’t miss it: from inflatable chickens to roaring crowds in ruby-red towns, America roared: we don’t do kings here.

Republicans stayed quiet while democracy showed up in the streets.🔥

Interesting! Anti-left just hating for hate’s sake?

There are too many of us to ignore. #NoKings

Don’t take the bait, don’t share the sh*t. He’s playing y’all & getting you to stop talking about huge No Kings turnout today.

Your daily reminder. You have a sexual predator in the WH.

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Emil Bove confirmation is a direct assault on the integrity of our justice system

The confirmation of Emil Bove to the 3rd Circuit is a direct assault on the integrity of our justice system.

A former Trump lawyer, Bove ordered a 15-year DOJ veteran to lie to a federal judge — then helped fire him for refusing.

Now he’s a judge. Corruption in action.

“It’s not just the patients. We — the medical staff — are barely functioning. We struggle to stay focused ourselves.”

Epic! But, everyone should be doing that.

South Park is getting canceled after this lmao.

We just translated a wave of our ICE coverage into Spanish. No paywall, no email signup necessary. From leaks about Palantir's work with ICE to ICE's new facial recognition app, we think there is a massive public interest in this info. Read why and support us here: www.404media.co/were-publish...

This is a lie. Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein did *not* have a falling out because Trump thought Epstein was "a creep." After all, that is why they were friends in the first place. They had a falling out over money. Epstein had counterbid on a Florida property Trump wanted, driving up the cost.

What Trump and the GOP have planned next for NPR and PBS should scare you Defunding the public broadcasters is only the first step.

Republicans in Congress just voted to strip NPR and PBS of federal funding. Jeff Nesbit explains how it’s part of a broader plan to replace public media with right-wing religious broadcasting.

📌The President of the United States posted a FAKE VIDEO TO THE WORLD of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, and we are supposed go along like it is just another day.
Our press has so completely lost the thread it would be laughable if it wasn't so damn dangerous and disgusting.

YouTube video by Jubilee Mehdi Hasan vs 20 Far-Right Conservatives #surrounded

This is misleading. This headline should be, "Mehdi Hasan Surrounded by 20 Fascists and Racists."

This is the modern GOP and MAGA movement.

What more do you all need to hear and see?

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'

Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Here's the full 'debate': www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-W...

“Introverts Rule” too obvious for a title ? 🤣

The Senate Intelligence Committee

Led by Chairman Marco Rubio

Found that Russia was working to get Trump elected in 2016

And that there were numerous links between Russia and Donald Trump’s campaign

As Democrats on the committee correctly noted at the time

“This is what collusion looks like”
