I like learning and critical thinking; astronomy and paleoanthropology. Australopithecus seems like a cool guy. Eat the rich, take their shit, and share it with everybody.

Imagine if the Captain of the Titanic saw the iceberg from a mile away but was too afraid to change course.

Inconceivable, right?

Well, let me tell you about a guy by the name of Chuck Schumer…

A pleasure meeting with Environment Minister Thekla Walker to celebrate 10 years since the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg launched the Under2 Coalition with California.

Proud to further our partnership in the fight against climate change.

Jeffries: "House Republicans, welcome back from your taxpayer-funded 7 week vacation. You now have an opportunity to actually take some action in an area of this healthcare crisis by working with Democrats before the rules committee this evening to extend the ACA tax credits."

Neguse: This is one of the most shameful episodes in my view in the modern history of the congress. The decision that Speaker Johnson made to recess the house for 54 days, to send Republican members home on paid vacation for eight weeks, is disgraceful.

Jeffries: Democrats are going to offer an amendment to get that self dealing sick provision out… The notion that Republicans would give themselves the ability to rip millions of taxpayer dollars away so they can line their pockets, because these people were insurrectionist sympathizers is insanity.

Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

On Veterans Day, we honor those who served and commit to serving them in return β€” not just in words, but in actions.

Affordability and a real commitment to mental health are essential to ensure that every veteran can build a future here in New York City.

He wants to starve you and your family, deny you healthcare, and intimidate your kids with jackbooted thugs while he builds a ballroom for himself and his pals, runs multibillion-dollar crypto scams, throws grotesque Great Gatsby-themed balls in Florida, and redecorates a House you pay for like this

People (unless military) don’t work for patriotism, they work for a paycheck on time and in full.
No pay, no work - patriotism doesn’t pay the mortgage

So you’re threatening people for not coming to work, even when they couldn’t afford to because you weren’t PAYING them πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

The most blatantly and obviously corrupt admin in US history by far. Will ANY Republican have the integrity to speak up about this, the pardons, the crypto scam, ANYTHING?

I gotta sit down.

Just found out all these wonderful folks at Rhode Island Comic Con helped me raise over $86,000 for @trevorproject.bsky.social !!!

Thanks everyone!!

It was joyous to meet you guys and to see every bit of obscure Jon Cryer merch under the sun.

And I signed most of it. #RICC

It’s insane to me that people are still shocked that a career fraudster convicted felon’s main goal was to rob the US blind out of revenge as well as greed whilst sitting in the White House that he laced with tacky gold-plating and bulldozed for his ballroom. I hate him.

In 2013, John Fetterman pulled a shotgun on an unarmed black jogger after chasing him down. He aimed the gun at his chest over bottle rockets, forcefully detaining him until police arrived.

A tweet from J.J. Abbott (@jjabbott) says:
β€œNarrator: He did not fight.”
It quotes a 2022 tweet from John Fetterman (@JohnFetterman) that reads:
β€œHealth care is a basic, fundamental human right. I will fight for health care like the health care that saved my life. #PASenateDebate.”

Khanna: You know, someone said to me, β€œWell, this backbencher from the House is calling for Schumer to step down.”

I said, β€œThe point is the backbenchers need to come to the front.” Those of us in the back β€” we need to move to the front. And a new generation of leadership needs to emerge.”
