The Ultimate Lord of the Rings Watching Setup.

I am so obsessed with Barack Obama. Incredible that the most important eight years of my life felt so normal.

Ken Paxton’s crimes are well known. But John Cornyn may be even more corrupt.

Cornyn was the deciding vote on the “Big Ugly Bill” — kicking millions off their healthcare to give his billionaire donors a tax cut.

That is corruption of the highest order.

I was there!

I was there!!

Cost of public college tuition:
Sweden: $0
Norway: $0
Finland: $0
Denmark: $0
United States: $9,596

When Republicans say it's OK to give billions in tax breaks to the top 1%, don't tell me we can't afford to make public college available for free.

Gavin Newsom is hilarious. He is also demonstrating an excellent strategy, he has almost totally dominated the news cycles and is taunting so many dozy media representatives, if you can call them that, it is very entertaining. I only ever see Fox Spews on various podcast clips. They lack originality

Our health care system is close to collapse.

Not enough doctors, nurses or dentists.

Costs are skyrocketing.

Trump’s legislation will cause hospitals, nursing homes & community health centers to cut back services.

We need a simple, universal system: Medicare for All.

They will not silence us. Be there on Saturday morning and join us as we fight Trump’s power grab. Bring your friends & spread the word.

Ken Paxton just filed a lawsuit to remove me from office.

But this seat doesn’t belong to him or me — it belongs to the people.

My message to Ken Paxton:

Come and take it.

Facing arrest, removal from office, and even a bomb threat, @jamestalarico.bsky.social has one message for Texas Republicans:

“We will not be deterred.”

I just went on Fox News to tell the truth about the redistricting power grab in Texas.

I asked a simple question: “If Republican policies are so popular, why do they need to redraw these maps; why not run on their policies?”

He refused to answer — and cut the interview early.

Anti-depressant medications missed an advertising opportunity today

Mavs/Sixers could easily be the Zoloft Bowl or something

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before.

But the greed of the oligarchs never stops. 

Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs.

Together we can stop them. We must stop them.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
 
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Let’s be clear: the Dept. of Ed. provides resources to 26 million children living in high-poverty school districts; Pell Grants to over 7 million students; & funding for millions of children with disabilities.

Closing its doors would be a disaster for working class families.

i guess im in the minority on this but id prefer to not go through a recession

I NEED GOOD, THOUGHTFUL LEADERS TO GET WAY BETTER AT USING THE INTERNET LIKE FIVE YEARS AGO

Happy Monday. Fire Nico.

Cutting off humanitarian aid to millions of civilians is a war crime. That is exactly what the extremist Netanyahu government is doing now to Palestinians in Gaza.

I’ve introduced resolutions to block billions in offensive arms sales to Israel & will demand votes on these bills.

It's official: The lunatics are now running the asylum.

Trump’s hypocrisy knows no bounds

One moment he’s praising the military, the next he’s gutting the VA and slashing 80,000 jobs

The Supreme Court has been Trump’s biggest enabler in his purge of the government

Al Green couldn't take it and called out his lies at the SOTU.

We need more of AL
👍🔁💙

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.

No matter what happened in the Oval Office, I am proud to be a Ukranian American. Today and everyday.

Worth noting that when the war started Zelensky’s English was very shaky and he’s clearly spent a ton of time improving it for exactly this purpose.
