An agreement is worthless if one party can just break it immediately without consequences.

A notice from @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social.

This is horrible.

Find a rally. Show up.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.
 
Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Make your plans for #NoKings. October 18th. Free speech is action. Please join in. You'll see me at one of the events.

“Baby in her placenta” is pretty bad for a HHS secretary but it’s arguably worse for a guy with six kids. It’s impossible to not learn this stuff as a dad if you’re even remotely paying attention just once.

Let me be clear: Democrats are at work waiting for Republicans to wrap up their vacation and join us. It’s time for Mike Johnson to bring his caucus back, get to work, and stop playing politics with folks’ lives.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

It’s up to Minnesota to protect the Boundary Waters • Minnesota Reformer Just when we were in the homestretch for permanently protecting canoe country, the Trump administration vowed to greenlight sulfide-ore copper mining in its headwaters.

The cruelty is the point.

Yesterday, flights were delayed an average of 53 minutes out of Newark and 39 minutes out of Denver. And at Hollywood Burbank Airport, the average ground delay was two and a half hours. That airport had no air traffic controllers for over five hours Monday.

Here’s a full summary of the hearing:

Senate: you’re doing all the things you said you would NOT do during your confirmation hearing!

Pam Bondi: yup

Senate: ok

You’re all caught up.

Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

Hard to believe this attorney general can pursue justice with impartiality when she is dripping with such partisan disdain.

The problem (at least in IL) is not that we have a feckless governor or mayor unwilling "to stand up to Trump." The problem is that over 80 years+ we the people have ceded vast powers to the Fed govt for good and necessary reasons and then, last November, we gave all those powers to Donald Trump.

Shutdown How the Trump Administration Weaponizes the Federal Government Shutdown

My take on the Republican’s government shutdown. Dems hold the line, protect American’s rights and hard earned benefits.

Jane Goodall said she would launch Trump and Musk on one-way trip into space Primatologist said in interview released after her death she would also put Putin, Xi and Netanyahu on that spaceship In a lifetime studying the behavior of chimpanzees, Jane Goodall became something of an authority on the aggressiveness of alpha male adults. Now, in an interview released just days after her death, the famed primatologist reveals what she would do with Donald Trump, Elon Musk and other human beings she saw as showing similar traits: launch them on a one-way trip into space. The insight into Goodall’s thinking comes in the Netflix documentary Famous Last Words, recorded in March and kept under wraps until her death last week at the age of 91. Continue reading...
