The funny thing about that show? Not a word of it was in English, but it was one of the more patriotic halftime shows I’ve seen.

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”

“Together, we are America”

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone? For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

#HappyIndependenceDay to you all!

Many Republicans are just finding out, thanks to Hakeem Jeffries, that the Declaration of Independence reads like an indictment & are outraged by it.

The slickest, most cynical trick in this GOP bill is time-delaying the Medicaid/SNAP cuts to January 2027, so when they hit Dems may well hold the House and it will be easy for Republicans to blame them. And with no cuts for the next 18 months, people will forget what happened today.

It’s all up for grabs!

Park Service suspends air-quality monitoring at all national parks The Trump administration has paused but not canceled contracts for the monitoring program, which collects data on harmful air pollutants at 63 national parks.

Gorgeous silly ginger kitty!!

Trump administration withdraws nomination of David Weldon for CDC director The White House has withdrawn the nomination of David Weldon, a former Florida congressman, to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

BREAKING: Weldon's nomination for CDC director has been withdrawn! Per AP he didn't have the votes. Excellent! In the mean time, this gives CDC the opportunity to continue to helplessly "misunderstand" orders, re-request written clarifications, etc. Ahem leadership. 👀

Axios: White House to pull CDC director nomination

GOOD NEWS: The White House has withdrawn the nomination of Dave Weldon to be the director of the CDC.

Weldon has opposed vaccines throughout his political career.

Thank you to everyone who called their Senators. Advocacy works!

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender.

📌They should STILL be talking now.

The Resistance is alive and well and angry Reports of our demise might have been premature

Pass it on: The Resistance is alive and well and angry. Reports of our demise might have been premature

"We must stop the exodus of people tuning out the political process altogether. Faced with the threats ahead, people want to look away. You can see it in the words used and the excuses they make.”

We Are on Our Own From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

I finally gave in and watched the whole exchange, and sadly I recommend it if you want to understand what happened.

The transcript below does not convey how much Trump and Vance constantly talked and shouted over Zelensky. And Trump’s… segue into other topics at the end should be heard.

I keep hearing people say they could never go after our Social Security. They ARE telling us that they are and they ARE going to come after it. I believe them and EVERYONE should.

“Peace” is a code word for “surrender to Putin.” It always always always has been.

It was a code word in the 2016 campaign when Paul Manafort was talking about peace plans for Ukraine.

This plan has been in our faces for a fucking decade and still hack Beltway journalists don’t get it.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Or are dems getting poisoned by their donors as bad as gop?

Do we have enough dems with fight in them?

What's it gonna take for everyone to realize the occupant of the white house is fundamentally anti-American?

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.
