That the networks don't have a live feed from Portland running in the corner is journalistic malpractice.

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department. Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

To understand the Trump administration’s vision for American education, @megomatz.bsky.social and I studied dozens of hours of political appointees’ speeches and podcasts and essays. What emerged is a desire to dismantle the nation’s system of public schools.

Illinois sues Trump over National Guard deployment The lawsuit comes hours after a federal judge in Oregon barred Trump from deploying federalized members of the any National Guard troops under Trump's command to Oregon.

Thank you @warnock.senate.gov for these very important posts about the higher cost of healthcare from the Republican Big Ugly Bill

These cruel Medicaid cuts are all part of Trump's Shutdown

YouTube video by Congressman Greg Casar Congressman Greg Casar: More Mentions of Trump in Epstein Files Than House Republicans in DC

There's more mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein Files than there are House Republicans in D.C. to keep the government open.

Republicans just REJECTED our attempt to keep the government funded & stop your health care costs from skyrocketing.

They have the White House, House, and Senate. They could have just kept costs stable – they refused.

Don’t let them gaslight you. This is a Republican shutdown.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

FCC moves to end discounts for Wi-Fi hotspot lending and school bus connectivity The Federal Communications Commission voted to end discounts for library and school Wi-Fi hotspot lending programs on Tuesday, drawing criticism from lawmakers and librarians who say the move will mak...

Trump's FCC yesterday voted to kill a program that provided free Wi-Fi to rural school kids at no cost to taxpayers, falsely claiming the program was "illegal" and was being used to "censor Conservative ideology."

And the crowd goes MILD for Pete Hegseth. 🦗🦗🦗😬

MAGA's Animal House Military Frat For Insecure Men

Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump attempt to hide their weak, fragile egos and numerous shortcomings through a dangerous military cosplay.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Did that man just call generals in from all across the world to put the entire military leadership in the same room as the president so he could call them fat & ugly and say girls have cooties?

So the white dude from Fox News said we should kill mentally ill homeless folks, he apologizes and they’re good; @karenattiah.bsky.social posts an accurate quote and says she’s not in the mood to mourn and gets bounced.

They are going to claim we (left/liberals/Democrats/non-white non-supremacists) said whatever is most convenient for them to say we said, no matter what we say. So all the appeasement is pretty much in vain.

The absence of mourning is not equal to the presence of celebration, and it’s strange how many people have conflated the two over the last day.

the people who mocked and made up shit about the attack on paul pelosi have thoughts about decorum and we should definitely take them very very seriously

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks

average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything

ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year, research shows A new analysis shows that health insurance premiums for Obamacare are set to soar next year, as financial help that subsidized the cost expires. Congress is not likely to extend the subsidies.

They’re jacking up ACA premiums up to 30%, not to save lives, but to fatten portfolios.

American healthcare isn’t broken. It’s rigged.

You don’t get care. You get billed.

You don’t heal. You hemorrhage money.

This is cruelty for profit, dressed up as policy.

I grabbed a galley already, thank you!!

I've seen some people talk about Gavin Newsom being the potential Dem nominee and I'd like to remind you that election day is over 3 years away and in that time we can work to push someone who is, ya know, not Gavin Newsom.

If you’re a moderate Democrat already worried about the specter of leftists refusing to vote for Gavin Newsom I do have a solution for you: do not nominate that fucker

A secret police in every way.

UPDATE: DOJ Ethic director Tirrell posts his termination letter on LinkedIn. Says his oath “did not come with the caveat that I need only support the Constitution when it is easy or convenient.”

I feel so dumb about this, but the Finch app helps me in the same way. I don’t really feel like vacuuming my room BUT my little virtual bird will earn points if I do, and her fake happiness is somehow enough to get off the couch???
