Senator Deb Fischer’s husband refuses to shake Kamala Harris’s hand and sparks backlash (WATCH) A resurfaced clip of Senator Deb Fischer's husband refusing to shake Vice President Kamala Harris's hand has gone viral on social media.

Is it really that difficult to show a little respect, Bruce? Kamala Harris is our Vice President of the United States. A little patriotism wouldn’t hurt—but then again, it is the anniversary of January 6, 2021.

Of the tributes that will be etched in my memory over the next week: Morehouse Glee Club singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic at the Carter Center's remembrance of Jimmy Carter

I’m not a “survivor.” I’ve never liked that way of looking at things. I spent two decades just surviving. No thanks. I’m a thriver.

Surviving is built into thriving; you can’t thrive if you haven’t survived. As a thriver, the focus is on something higher than pure survival.

Let’s THRIVE in 25!

So to clarify, the pediatric cancer research funding bill in the Senate that Republicans said never passed because of Schumer was actually held up by Rand Paul the entire time. Yet another lie.

My God! What a fucking vile monster!!!🤬

Trump can't travel to these 38 countries now that he's a convicted felon Now that former President Donald Trump is a convicted felon, there are some things he can no longer do by law, one being to travel to these 38 countries.

Never thought a US President would have this problem. But here we are...

It’s really not left vs right.

It’s a class war. The billionaires vs the rest of us.

Not one single penny.

Seven Falsehoods in Senator Mike Lee's Social Security Post - NCPSSM Earlier this week, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) posted an extensive – and patently ridiculous – diatribe against Social Security on X (formerly Twitter).  The thread is full of falsehoods and misleading as...

Trump's billionaire crony, Elon Musk, seems to have it out for #SocialSecurity. He amplified Sen. Mike Lee's falsehood-filled rant on X about seniors' earned benefits. Here is what Lee & Musk are getting wrong. READ MORE HERE: www.ncpssm.org/entitledtokn...

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

Rampell: If you voted for Trump because you thought he was going to bring down the cost of housing, a lot of our lumber, cement, and other materials comes from Canada, which means that construction costs are going to go up

People that make $1000/hr have convinced the people that make $40/hr that those whom make $7.25/hr are the problem.

The Choices I’ve Made From Marc | Since the election, media figures and outlets have followed suit — each moving gradually towards obedience to Trump and then suddenly.

Like others, I fear the threat of government retribution, political vengeance and an angry right-wing mob. But I know that giving into it will only strengthen Trump and undermine the future of our democracy. Trump wants us to be scared. He wants us to give up — gradually and then suddenly.

I’m loving how the right-wing bullies can’t get away with their hateful rhetoric from X on BlueSky.

Segregation Academies Across the South Are Getting Millions in Taxpayer Dollars North Carolina offers an especially telling window into what is happening across this once legally segregated region where legislatures are now rapidly expanding and adopting controversial voucher-sty...

Northeast Academy is a small Christian school in rural NC.

Last school year, it received $438,500 from the state-funded private school voucher program.

As of 2022, “the school’s enrollment was 99% white in a county that runs about 40% white.”

This is their plan for America. 👀

PCE inflation has fallen to 2.1%—nearly at its 2% target—and incomes are up nearly $4,000.

The economy has grown 12.6% under President Biden—more than any presidential term this century.

16 million jobs created and the lowest unemployment in 50 years.

🚨 Do not let Trump take any credit for this.

The disrespect for education will ruin the United States

House GOP Moves to Ram Through Bill That Gives Trump Unilateral Power to Kill Nonprofits A bill to give Donald Trump power to kill nonprofits is still supported by dozens of Democrats — giving the GOP plenty of breathing room.

H.R. 9495 is back on the calendar for next week. If this legislation passes, it could provide Trump with more power to suppress nonprofits and views he disagrees with.

Call Congress at (202) 224-3121 and ask your representative to vote NO.
