This strikes me as pretty bad

The entire nation is talking about skyrocketing healthcare costs – and for good reason.
 
In this shutdown, we're holding the line against the Trump Administration's lawlessness to fight for a country we can all afford.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Reminds me of the famous National Geographic cover photo of a young Afghan woman who’s eyes looked directly into the viewer’s.

Have stood on the Parajito Plateau in White Rock looking down at the Rio Grande in the winter. Thanks for this photo.

I had been contemplating buying the new iPhone 17 Pro. Not anymore.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Thanks, New Yorker

How The Librarians Observes First Responders in the Culture Wars - POV Magazine An interview with The Librarians director Kim A. Snyder on her documentary about book banning across the U.S.A. and the fight to protect young minds.

“I just kept thinking of the Salem witch hunt … Librarians are often easy to scapegoat because … there’s usually the [one] school librarian, who is easier to single out and attack, especially in social media. The misogyny is strong in the fact that all of these incredible women were targeted.”

Conversations about the government shutdown are happening all over the country, in workplaces, around kitchen tables, and at New Jersey diners.

That's why I left the Capitol to drive home to NJ: to talk with the people at the core of this fight for a safer and healthier America.

It’s long past time for the hostages to come home, to stop the bombing in Gaza, to surge humanitarian aid, and to negotiate a two-state solution and lasting peace. I pray that this is the last anniversary where families in the region are unable to be reunited with their loved ones.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

This picture is from 1992 in LA and using it in this post and story shows terrible news judgment.

We covered this on today's @dailybeanspod.com. Extremely dangerous and these ICE agents should be charged with felonies.

Good morning.

The government is shutdown and Republicans are hiding. They aren't even in Washington.

Why? Because Trump thinks he's king. He's told his sycophants to boycott budget talks so he can act lawlessly and steal people's health care to pay for his billionaire tax cut.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Sigh.
This is one of the misinformation rage baiting points.
The real difference? If you make more YOU PAY MORE.

This.

Whaddya know. The camera doesn't lie. But pseudo cops do.

Thank you. This is the message that voters need to hear over and over again until they are motivated to throw out the elected officials at every level who either enable the corruption or acquiesce as the mob bosses openly perpetrate these crimes.

Our country has been hijacked by mob bosses who use corruption, extortion, and intimidation to instill fear and submission into all of us.
 
When we reopen the government, we must fight to make sure it’s working for you, not the mob bosses in power.

The fight to save our democracy - and the fight to refuse to vote for a budget that funds corruption, hands our government over to the billionaires, and kicks millions off their health care - is a righteous fight.

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None.

This shouldn’t even have to be said.

Without a functioning system of checks & balances the country will not survive the Trump takeover. Trump/GOP are systematically dismantling destroying hard-earned rights/progress. It’s not hyperbole to warn NJ voters just how extremely dangerous Trump-candidate for gov Ciatarelli’s agenda would be.

Historically, the right wing has brought advocacy for states’ rights, local control, and skepticism of federal overreach. Which, seems pretty important right now.

I agree
