Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

Let this sink in.

During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Donald Trump just approved the largest meat company in the world to be listed on the NYSE. YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren

Donald Trump just approved the largest meat company in the world to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange—completely ignoring its history of corruption and bribery.

Why? Maybe because they donated $5M to his inauguration.

I'm pressing for answers.

Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet All the lefties fled to Bluesky following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. But CEO Jay Graber says the app is for everyone—and could revolutionize how people communicate online.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Judge Permanently Bars N.I.H. From Limiting Medical Research Funding The decision came as an initial win for a broad coalition of academic institutions that had argued the policy jeopardized ongoing research, but it set up an almost certain appeal.

When we fight, we win—for everyone whose lives can be saved by groundbreaking medical advancements, & for all the researchers in Massachusetts & across the country who make it happen. I’ll keep doing everything I can to defend our investments in science.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
