The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Just voted for you! Love the podcast. Good luck 🍀

If Donald Trump's big beautiful tax break for billionaires is so great... why not pass it in prime time? Why jam it through in the middle of the night? What don't they want you to know?

They have such contempt for the American people.

Morelle’s Statement on Abrupt Firing of Dr. Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress WASHINGTON – Rep. Joe Morelle (NY-25), the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, issued this statement after Dr. Carla Hayden was fired from her duties as the Librarian of Congress: “Tonight, President Trump fired a patriotic public servant. The Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, has spent her entire career serving people — from helping kids learn to read to protecting some of our nation’s most precious treasures. She is an American hero. “President Trump’s ignorant decision will impact America’s libraries, our copyrighted economic interests, and service to the American people by threatening support for Congress. His decision is a complete disgrace. “I will be introducing legislation to guarantee that the Librarian of Congress is appointed by Congress.” Background: Earlier this week, Ranking Member Morelle proclaimed in his opening statement during the Committee’s Library of Congress oversight hearing that it “doesn’t take much imagination to see the Library of Congress next in the crosshairs.” Watch the full opening statement here.

Dr. Carla Hayden, the 14th Librarian of Congress, was fired by Pres. Trump today according to a press statement from @morelle.house.gov. Only the Legislative Branch should make decisions about the hiring & removal of the Librarian of CONGRESS. This needs to be fixed asap.

This is America.

Members of an immigrant family in Worcester, Massachusetts were targeted, terrorized, and seized by ICE agents this week.

The father was taken into custody by ICE on Wednesday, and agents returned to the family’s home Thursday to execute an arrest of the mother — without a warrant.

Worcester…

"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

It's Time to Pick a Hill Worth Dying On If your eyes are clear and open right now you can see it, can’t you?

I'm not trying to scare you. What is happening right now to this nation should scare you enough. I'm trying to wake you up and ask you to see if your heart is still beating and then to do something worthy of that gift.

Former chief of staff to Peter Thiel. And a bunch of Dems just voted to confirm him.

MEMPHIS VS. MUSK: “There’s a silent takeover happening in MEMPHIS, and the people most affected by it are being left in the dark… Elon Musk claims XAI will create over 300 jobs, but only 37 listings exist and they’re mostly in California...”

ICYMI: DOGE signed an agreement with Louis DeJoy to slash 10,000 jobs from the already-understaffed USPS.

The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country.

We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to billionaires for profit.

We will have no kings in America.

WOW. The Bernie/AOC FIGHT OLIGARCHY event in Tucson, Arizona is in such demand, my friend — and so many others — might not be able to get in.

The crowd is so huge, organizers can’t fit everyone onto a FOOTBALL FIELD.

Last night, the rally in Tempe, Arizona was PACKED to the max!!

⚡️ HAPPENING NOW IN KNOXVILLE… empty chair town hall in @RepTimBurchett’s district without Burchett….

WHY THE FUCK IS HE TALKING ABOUT NOT SENDING OUT SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS?!!!!

Let this sink in—the head of the EPA has now labeled climate science as “religion”, and reframed the purpose of the EPA to “lower the cost of buying a car… and running a business”—the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY!

That’s where we are now.

The Big Lesson From Bernie Sanders’s Gangbusters Anti-Oligarchy Tour The thousands of victims of Trumpism are out there. Democrats just need to find them—and be their champion.

What Sanders has been doing recently is highly instructive—and Democrats don’t need to be die-hard enthusiasts of his particular policy portfolio to extract the key lesson and act on it: Identify the victims of Trumpism, give them a voice, and get their stories told.

Can you help me get 500 reposts on this post? I am going live on youtube on Friday. I am super pissed off what is happening in our party and want ro discuss Chuck Schumer and more with you. If you are not subscribed to my channel please consider doing so here: m.youtube.com/@adamparkhom...

I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill.

NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want.

NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats.

We need to push back.

Grave mistake, @schumer.senate.gov.
Change course. Vote NO on cloture, NO on CR.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

CHUCK SCHUMER HAS TO GO. He’s way past his best by date and I’m not talking about age, I’m talking about usefulness.

Senate Dems need to step up and have some courage.

The CR passed in the House will provide a blank check for Trump and Musk to continue their savage war against working families, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor in order to lay the groundwork for massive tax breaks for billionaires.

This is a bill I cannot support.
