Since members can add or remove their name multiple times to the Epstein discharge petition a few of the Dems or Reps on it should remove their names and take away MAGA Mikes reason for not swearing in Grivalja. Then once she is sworn in resign the petition and get it over the line.

I read your substack about the posts that got you fired and that was the last straw for me and the WP. I cancelled my subscription which I have had for many years and read daily. Nothing you said was wrong.

We need to call it what it is- an assassination. Calling it simply political violence minimizes it.

Amid anti-DEI push, National Park Service rewrites history of Underground Railroad Since Trump took office, the park service, an agency charged with preserving American history, has changed how its website describes key moments from slavery to Jim Crow

Can’t wait for the updated exhibits at the Holocaust Museum that explain how hiding Jews in basements violated Dutch health and safety codes

@marketplace.org I’m sorry but using Kate Bush’s β€œkeep running up that hill” as the outtro music for a story about student loans when you talk about how much rougher it will be for borrowers is just cruel.

This is devastating! Please share with friends and family, Trump doesn’t support Veterans IN ANY WAY! Half the employees of the VA are Veterans.

The Veteran community is about to feel the pain of already understaffed VA, we are going backwards!!

The party is so out of touch. The plan to win back voters should be simple: Tax the Billionaires. Use the $$ to rebuild the country that Trump is tearing down: Healthcare, Education, Infrastructure. 40% tax on every dollar over $3B.

I am not going to watch Trump's speech tonight. I do not need to hear the lies. I do not need the stress of his vile rhetoric. I do not want to feed his ego with more viewers. I am going to rely on journalists I trust to analyze and it and to catch the important clips. It is OK to take care of you!

Tesla just wrapped up its second-worst month ever Tesla stock rose on the last day of February, but it wasn’t enough to stem losses of nearly 30% for the month.

Tesla just wrapped up its second-worst month ever.

Keep protesting at his dealerships and service centers. It’s working!!!

β€˜β€œThere are two fierce tigers in my spirit: Anger-Hatred and Love-Compassion. They are fighting to the death.”
