The last number I saw was that the UK media are putting out 154 articles about trans people - almost all misinformation - every single month on average.

My heart breaks for these children and their families.

America loves to elect used car salesmen. I frequently imagine Newsom selling me a used Mercedes. It’s plausible, you have to admit.

My dog and me on a winter hike.

Gabby loves snow hiking but hates posing for photos.

Klobuchar: "What the president has done is taken a horrific crime that occurred in DC and went 2,400 miles away to Somali & somehow indicted an entire group of people, 80k of them in my state, as well as all naturalized citizens. This is what he does. He tries to make people hate each other."

Only a loophole in the law kept the Pentagon papers leaker out of prison. We need a brave individual.

Trump’s tariffs are making your Thanksgiving more expensive.

National Guard troops are not supposed to be deployed on U.S. soil for law enforcement purposes. By treating NG like political pawns, this Regime put them in harm’s way when they sent them to occupy DC. In a nation armed to the teeth, it is not unthinkable that this happened.

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Kat handled this perfectly. This is a Republican opponent. We don’t need any more people like this in Congress.

Every time I see one of these commercials I think, "They can't get worse" and then they prove me wrong. Every. Time.

She is correct.Senate Dems don't just lack adequate leadership. Senate Dems lack people who are dedicated to the needs of constituents.

It takes 24 Senate Dems to oust Schumer. I am guessing some of them are quietly counting the votes right now. Very. Quietly.

Oh, yes it does. but those folks are the ones with something hidden behind their backs.

DHS/ICE was given its own $165B as in BIG Ugly bill budget — yet here they are misappropriating funds right now from DoD and military budgets (e.g. Navy) to ramrod through detention center buildouts…

Where is the USDA money for SNAP folks? Where did that end up?

EXACTLY!! Right out of the Kremlin play book, & copying Netanyahu, too. Instead of bombing low income areas, he's cutting off food supply to the ppl who need it most. We can expect 2c crime rate go up & domino effect socially.

A leader should help his ppl not take away from the least among us.✌🏼☮️

It's about their priorities.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
