Adopt A Station - Rescue Public Media Help preserve independent journalism and community programming across America by adopting a public media station. Congress has voted to rescind public media's funding.

At this rate I expect next we’ll get new information about Monica Lewinsky, a list of 205 card-carrying communists employed by the State Department, and possibly some blockbuster revelations about Grover Cleveland’s illegitimate child.

there is a great article written a couple of years after the ACA passed that interviewed Members who voted Yes and then lost reelection. To a person, none of them regretted their vote.

The thing that is so frustrating about congressional Republicans is they’re acting like anyone would do the same in their position.

That’s simply not true. There are other, better, people, who would risk losing their job in order to do the right thing and protect others. Lots of them.

Can someone let me know when we can rename Trump's concentration camps after historical ones?

Bc that's the kind of thing Trump loves: Associating his fascism with past human rights atrocities and traitorous losers.

A NYC candidate for mayor has called for reconsidering rent control in that city, while congressional Republicans are advancing a bill that would take a trillion dollars in health care away from working people all across America, but guess which one the pundits are all over right now?

Sometimes I can’t get past the fact that we have the technology and the resources to address so many problems and help so many people and yet we do…whatever this is.

Within minutes of the attack on Jewish demonstrators in Boulder the FBI and HLS declared it a terrorist attack and rolled in. It's been 8 hours since the targeted assassinations of Democratic legislators in MN and Bongino says they're "assisting local partners." Silence from Trump. We see you.

I’ve had this on a hat since 2017. Thought I could retire it in 2020. It’s had an alarming and depressing shelf life.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

How about some basic rules?
--All law enforcement officers should wear identification
--No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks
--All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams
...oh and...
--All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

To any politician who might be considering the political consequences of raising hell about a legal American resident who was kidnapped and taken to a foreign torture gulag, please don't focus group the Constitution.

A screenshot of a tweet by the official White House account. 

Text: β€œFixed it for you, @NYTimes.
Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen - he's NOT coming back.”

There is also a screenshot of the front page of the NyT with a large headline and photo about Van Hollen meeting with Abrego Garcia. They have edited the headline with red ink handwriting to say β€œ Senator meets with deported ms-13 illegal alien in El Salvador who’s never coming back.”

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

This needs to be a 10 alarm fire for every single Democratic electeds in Congress and all across America. This is so beyond dark. They simply can't look other way any more and pretend to focus on kitchen table issues while this is happening right infront of us.

Why do you think Trump created this video? What RESPONSE do you think he wanted ?

Did he want everyone to panic, rather than talking about how Stewart Rhodes is an adjudged terrorist but Abrego Garcia is not?
