Trump pardoned a Honduran drug lord who helped move TONS of cocaine into the U.S.

Trump does not care about being tough on crime, stopping drug trafficking, or keeping Americans safe.

This is corrupt beyond belief, and EVERYONE should call it out.

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss.

We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

Wealthy Ranchers Profit From Public Lands. Taxpayers Pick Up the Tab. A ProPublica and High Country News investigation found that government programs supporting grazing on public lands prop up a wealthy few while harming the environment. The Trump administration is supe...

The Trump administration is pushing to expand grazing on public lands while reducing its already low cost, under the false premise that it will fill America’s coffers.

Wealthy ranchers are profiting — at the expense of taxpayers.

Over 1 million jobs lost in 11 months. Private payrolls down 32K in November — largest drop in 2½ years.

Unemployment climbing every month, long-term unemployment over 25%.

This is the economy #Trump and his MAGA Republicans promised?

Putin's war in Ukraine shows where authoritarianism can lead: ~1.4 million casualties. An entire generation sacrificed for one man's imperialist delusions.

We must not let any president drag us into war without congressional approval.

Trump and Republicans are trying to BAN states from regulating AI by slipping a ban into any bill they can.

So if WA state, or any state for that matter, wants to protect kids, protect people's privacy, or protect their jobs—they'll have their hands tied.

No way.

DOGE Targeted Him on Social Media. Then the Taliban Took His Family. Afghan scholar Mohammad Halimi, who fled the Taliban in 2021, had worked to help U.S. diplomats understand his homeland. Then DOGE put his family’s lives at risk by exposing his sensitive work for a U...

Trump has renamed the U.S. Institute of Peace after himself.

Earlier in the year, we reported on how Trump sent a DOGE team to the institute, where they publicly outed a sensitive Afghanistan program and prompted a Taliban crackdown.

What did minimum wage get you each decade? In 2025, it buys you nothing but exhaustion.

There’s not a single place in America where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford even a modest 2-bedroom. Not one. That’s the economy we’re living in. #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

Republicans are politicians, not public servants.

“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.”

Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it.

Boxers don’t enter the ring without a plan. It’s the punch you don’t see coming that knocks you out.

Donald Trump is saying that "affordability is a Democrat scam."

The President needs a serious reality check. The cost of nearly everything is going UP: health care, child care, housing.

Trump's policies have been a DISASTER, and unlike Democrats, he has NO solutions.

Trump plans to pardon former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking Former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández was sentenced to 45 years in prison for running a “narco-state” that helped send cocaine to the United States.

President Trump is pardoning a convicted Honduran drug lord who openly boasted that he would "stuff the drugs right up the noses of the gringos," and push drugs into America.

This is the most pro-crime, pro-corruption administration in our country's history.

Trump Administration Will No Longer Commemorate World AIDS Day

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.

Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.

Shameful.

ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Make Money Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

Steve Witkoff has shown the world he will adopt Putin's talking points and concede the sovereignty of our Ukrainian allies if it means some of his billionaire buddies can get rich off Russia.

It's un-American and a total betrayal of our values. Witkoff needs to be fired.

I REMEMBER.

In 1981, nearly 100% of people with AIDS died, often rapidly.
I remember weeping.
I remember Ronald Reagan's refusal to say "AIDS".
I remember the brave patients, loving caregivers, and the defiant power of ACT-UP.
And finally the miracle of modern therapy.

Rise up for World AIDS day.

Just ahead of the holidays, the Trump administration ripped up new travel rules to rein in airlines and put money back in your pocket.

If you’re watching this and your flight is delayed, spread the word: Trump is only looking out for the giant corporations.

What happens when we accept a for profit healthcare system in this country. We are long overdue for universal healthcare.

‘Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it ‘fake,’ she says Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

ICE DETAINED MARILYN. Fuck these people. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

The holidays are supposed to be a time to come together and celebrate with your loved ones, but we all know how that goes with a MAGA relative.

Having these #Thanksgiving convos can be intimidating, but after a year of Democratic wins, you should be ready to share the truth and help teach others.

🧪 This is what whooping cough looks & sounds like.

A baby tragically died of whooping cough today.

Dr. Ralph Abraham is the CDC’s new deputy director.

He:

1. Halted Louisiana's mass vaccination campaign

2. Promoted ivermectin

3. Delayed public warnings about a deadly whooping cough outbreak

🇺🇦 Zelensky: The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion.

The Indian Health Service Is Flagging Vaccine-Related Speech. Doctors Say They’re Being Censored. Officials have deemed terms like “immunizations” and “vaccines” risky “buzzwords” that require approval to be used in social media posts, pamphlets and presentations.

A year ago, flyers promoting vaccines were prevalent across the Navajo Nation.

But as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has put his stamp on federal immunization policy, the Indian Health Service’s messaging on immunizations has taken a stark turn.

Despite knowing Clint Massie was abusing girls for years, church leaders never reported him to police.

It felt like “a group of people who are not just trying to protect someone — but something,” the DA said. “They have enabled something awful here.”
