NPR: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reposts video of pastors saying women shouldn't vote

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?

Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

Good morning!

Trump is the opposite of manly. Beta

He wears makeup. He whines non-stop. He’s always a poor victim. He dodged the draft. He have never served anything noble. He’s desperate for approval. He smells like the inside of a warm prison on the bayou, he hikes his pants up high

CBS Canceling ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ After Next Season

As of 845p, this ongoing story makes no mention yet of Trump's blackmail of CBS/Paramount/Ellison but includes generic hoo-ha about changing TV: a journalistic sin of omission. Trump is taking over media under the Times' nose and it turns away. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/b...

CBS axes ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ following host’s criticism of Trump settlement The most recent ratings from Nielsen show Colbert as winning his timeslot, with about 2.417 million viewers across 41 new episodes.

The most recent ratings from Nielsen show Colbert as winning his timeslot, with about 2.417 million viewers across 41 new episodes.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

Who knew Pamela Jo had an ethics adviser to begin with?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Difficult to overstate what ICE will become. As a civil rights lawyer, I’m already struggling to find friends & journalists and activists picked up needlessly by ICE & essentially disappeared within the immigration system. It will get worse. We have to get in formation & I need funders to help.

Holy shit. 👀

he just argued that “5 million of whose who lose Medicaid have two types of insurance so if they lose one they’ll still have the other.”

I haven’t looked into the 5M figure but I’m guessing a big chunk are Medicare/Medicaid dual eligibles.

Medicaid pays for NURSING HOME CARE.

Don’t kill thousands of American jobs. Kill the bill.

Remember when MTG whined she “wouldn’t have voted for it” if she’d read the AI part? Well, Democrats are forcing the Big Ugly Budget to be read out loud—and it’s being streamed live. But the Senate floor? Empty. Not a single GOP Senator there to hear the bill that will crush millions of Americans.

So my former political party has become a fascist-embracing cult, but everybody goes on & on about how messed up the Democratic Party is? Seriously? It’s the “Democratic Party” that has issues? Not the party that’s given up on democracy and ignores the rule of law?

Fuck that.

The internet has been a heartbreaking place in the past 24 hours.

For all of my days, I will never forget the innate goodness of this man — a public servant of more than 50 years who has given so much to others even while facing the deepest anguish a human could ever know. 🧵

What Molly said.👇🏻👇🏻

Mexican security chief confirms cartel family members entered US in a deal with Trump administration Mexico’s government has confirmed reports that 17 family members of the son of a former cartel leader crossed into the United States.

Did Trump and Pam Bondi make a deal with the Sinaloa Cartel? It would seem so, and now 17 cartel family members have been allowed to enter the U.S. apnews.com/article/el-c...

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it.

If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why?

Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

Me on hour 14 of dragging Republican Medicaid cuts for filth and giving them no end in sight

TeleMessage is the app National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was using, along with JD Vance, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Feel safe?

Arresting a judge is a major escalation...

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech:

“How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

I cannot say this strongly enough --

If you are a member of the DC Bar, VOTE NOW for Diane Seltzer for president.

Republicans want to auction off your retirement.

Not on Democrats' watch.

Today, we're standing with Americans across the nation to say: Hands Off Social Security.

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

Rubio:

“I don’t know what the confusion is. This individual is a citizen of El Salvador. ... That’s where you deport people - back to their country of origin.

Truth:

A 2019 court held he must not be sent to El Salvador due to persecution risk. Trump admin has admitted was wrong to send him there.
