What if the unidentified masked men with guns don't accept the validity of your papers?

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

All airports should refuse to air this PSA. Even if it were accurate, and it isn’t, politics should not be injected with our taxpayer dollars.

I’m too old, so it’s a moot point for me, but I’m hoping some young writer is doing exactly that and creating a classic anti-fascist book. I imagine their vetting consists of verifying your identity, and scanning your social media posts. Ope, I fail on that count too.

This is so fucked up‼️Military families are having to go to food banks because #TrumpShutUSDown We bailed out Argentina to the tune of $20 billion and Qatar is getting a Air Force base in Idaho, but our military personnel have to resort to this. Republicans can’t govern‼️

Okay, I understand that my monthly ANTIFA donation is no longer a tax write-off, but I can keep the tote bag, right?

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Some volatility? Midwest soybean farmers are scrambling to sell their crops to other Asian countries at discounted prices since Trump killed the Chinese market for them, which comprised 60% of their sales last year.

someone please tell Trump that this is the real president. Fascist Miller knows how to usurp the throne of a mad king and take over.

The Shutdown Will Make Trump's Theory of Government-ICE but No Healthcare-Visible - emptywheel No one knows how this shutdown will go. It truly is unlike any shutdown that has gone before.Β But it will serve to make the reality of Trump's abuse of power visible in a way that has not fully happen...

My post on that.

See how he says "If *I* put National Guard in a southern town?"

Yeah... he's already talking like he's in charge.

And he probably has been for 6 months.

C’mon. Miller is the acting president and we need to start pointing that out, just like we did with Elon.

The entire country is walking on eggshells because a madman is hallucinating about crime sprees and burning cities.

They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

Trade war fallout adds urgency to extending ACA aid Trade war fallout adds urgency to extending ACA aid

Farmers will get whacked again if the ACA subsidies are yanked by the Republicans.

Politically correct would have been NOT getting into unnecessary wars. Trump would have nuked those countries. I think Hegseth would have too.

Absolutely disgraceful. President pro-tem Stephen Miller has convinced his feeble figurehead that the Dems are the enemy within.

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government

One of the most brazen conflicts in history.
