Police officers, keep standing up to ICE. Defend your cities! Their game is intimidation.

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

You are so right. This stopped being just an American fight. We see this cancer growing worldwide, and if we don’t eradicate it, we will destroy ourselves

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Yep

Imagine believing this. They’ve refused to expand Medicaid in Tennessee costing us $30 billion and counting

Exclusive | CBS News taps Adam Rubenstein — once ostracized at NY Times for liking Chick-fil-A — as new deputy editor Sources expect Rubenstein will effectively run the Free Press now that Weiss will be busy steering the editorial direction of shows like “60 Minutes,” “Face The Nation” and …

crazy that one of the most storied institutions in american journalism is going to be run by two people with basically no experience to do it

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Unfortunately. They’ve forgotten their humanity. Or I should say, sold it for some silver

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

It’s “states’ rights” if you want to force women to give birth without healthcare, and “states’ rights” if you want to ignore kids getting murdered in schools, but apparently “states’ rights” don’t exist when the president wants to send troops into cities that didn’t vote for him

"A free education is incompatible with fascism. Education is likely to be one of the great battlegrounds upon which is waged an intense and desperate struggle for power."

Why did China stop buying US soybeans, Kevin?

The new Supreme Court term starts today, meaning that -- in a novel twist -- the justices will hear oral arguments in some cases before they issue rulings that actually explain what they are doing.

Bravo! And bravo for being the right person at the right time!

They only respond appropriately when it impacts them directly

As Benjin Stark said to Tyrion Lannister, nothing someone says before the word “but” really counts.

😜🤣

California just signed a new trade partnership with Belgium.

We're committed to expanding economic and clean energy innovation — because California will always be a stable, reliable partner on the world stage.

I just signed legislation to further protect consumers and put money back in your pocket, including:

✅ Making it easier to get food delivery app refunds
✅ Banning car retailers from tacking on add-on services
✅ Strengthening our Financial Protection Department after Trump's gutting of the CFPB

🔊TURN DOWN THE VOLUME

Californians don't want to hear commercials at a volume any louder than what they were previously enjoying their program at.

I just signed legislation enforcing this regulation across streaming platforms.

Another tragic accident.

I posted this one week after the election in 2024. Holds up.

Absolutely correct. Planning gives you control of your situation, no matter what. You can even plan for the worst, so if it actually happens, you’re ready. And if you’ve never been thru real hardship, talk to the poor or former poor. We have lots of great survival experience

I heard that Trump is threatening to enact the Incontinent Act but I guess it Depends.

one who’s always strong for others. It’s not often I find someone that allows me to rest. I am allowing all the terror I feel to be expressed, trusting in the promised hope
