Huh? He's running in NYC for a safe Dem seat. Wouldn't you like to hear more about how he's changed his mind on every issue he considered when he voted GOP for decades? Taxes, reproductive rights, the environment, etc?

A Dem will be elected, its just a question of which one.

I would have to hear a long conversion story. How he changed his mind about everything since 2015. Taxes, reproductive rights, the environment. Someone who voted GOP for decades - that's gotta be quite a story.

And are we forgetting this is NYC, Nadler's district? They're going to vote Dem.

Grant Guidelines for Libraries and Museums Take “Chilling” Political Turn Under Trump Former Institute of Museum and Library Services leaders from both political parties expressed concern that the new funding guidelines could encourage a more constrained or distorted view of American h...

This was a chilling, scary read. "...the institute said it “particularly welcomes” projects that align with President Donald Trump’s vision for America...The agency also points to an executive order...and one titled Making Federal Architecture Beautiful Again." First the NEH and now the IMLS.

Election denier involved in fake electors plot wrote much of SAVE America Act, Trump-aligned think tank claims “I’m here to do everything I can to make this work,” Thomas Lane wrote in a December 2020 email to other organizers of the Trump campaign’s fake electoral plot in Arizona.

🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.

Geo isn't new to this horrible business. If they call it concerning, jesus.

“.. The allegations in the conversation about Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, would be significant if verified, according to other U.S. officials familiar with its contents.”

Democrats can't impeach her. (By themselves.)

You gotta admit, the staffers in the background keeping it real are the best part.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly terrified that Europeans will subpoena all his bank records from the European banks he had to use after every US bank blacklisted him following decades of rampant fraud, and the Europeans will see all his suspicious transactions with Epstein.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Once in electronic form…

Fun fact I just noticed: The U.S. had about half as much total job growth in 2025 (total) as during an average *month* during the Biden administration.
181k net jobs added over the entire course of 2025, versus average of 329k each month from 2021-2024.

Articles against Bondi were filed by Thanedar earlier this month.

What are you basing that judgement on?

A vote is not an investigation. Seems like it would be over in a day.

. Can you name the cabinet officials whom Dems have already filled Articles of Impeachment against, and tell us where they are in the process?

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:

Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

Shock Poll: Americans Miss Joe Biden’s Economy Here’s what they’re worried about.

In 2023, under Joe Biden, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs.

You read that right - Trump is just that amazing.

HHS cancels &500 million in mRNA research, a $600 million contract to develop an mRNA bird flu vaccine, narrowed criteria on who should get the mRNA COVID vaccine, and now refuses to review a completed study of a mRNA flu vaccine. If you were trying to kill a technology, and a company, this is what you would do.

Not only is this what you would do if you were trying to kill a technology and a company developing it ….

it's what you would do if you were trying to kill *people*.

If they can read and write policy, follow a legal argument and understand billion dollar economic budgets sure, put that on the list. Last.

Being a politician is different from being an advocate. Reading and writing policy and budgets is its own thing. Often boring

He knows. He hopes we don’t

Passports for Voting

You SHOULDN'T have to. But if you have the means to get a passport NOW & save the headache or rush if Republicans succeed in voter suppression legislation. Be sure sure your family is registered to vote. Do it now & check back.

Bonus: visit Canada & pick up some maple syrup!

The whole surge of ICE agents is a sham. Susan Collins just called up Noem and got her to scale back ICE’s presence because they all know how bad it looks for them and she’s in a tough race. It’s nakedly partisan.

ice’s illegitimacy grows with every passing day

Trump wants to deport hundreds of thousands of Haitian refugees. But many are caregivers keeping elderly and disabled Americans safe and cared for. New research suggests losing them could cost thousands of lives each year.
