Everybody who sucked up to Trump made a "painful miscalculation"

It's so ridiculous that MAGAs believe the GOP line that "Democrats want to give free healthcare to immigrants."

My dudes immigrants aren't getting free healthcare in the United States. American citizens aren't even getting free healthcare. You know who is?

The people lying to you about immigrants.

Urgent: ICE is Lying to the American Public The stories told by ICE officials in Chicago are being debunked in real time. Please share this far and wide.

John Lewis put his head on the line literally for the right to vote. We may need people sending letters, firing off hot takes, and appearing on Sunday tv talk shows but we also need people facing off against these fascist thugs and showing them that we are not afraid to stand up

Trump thinks Chicagoans are going to take this sitting down.

In 2000 Chicagoans chased out KKK fascists
In 2015 Chicagoans chased out Trump
In 2025 Chicagoans will chase out ICE fascists inshaAllah

Strength in unity.

So pro-life they’ll kill women

YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders AI Could Wipe Out the Working Class | Sen. Bernie Sanders

The artificial intelligence and robotics being developed by multi-billionaires will allow corporate America to wipe out tens of millions of decent-paying jobs, cut labor costs and boost profits.

What happens to working class people who can’t find jobs because they don’t exist?

Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.
 
This is their shutdown and they have the power to come back to the table, work to lower healthcare costs, and deliver for their constituents.

Worms wiggle. Good analogy?

“.. With Democrats having shown no signs of budging .. and a growing number of Republican lawmakers warning about potential blowback, the White House is now planning to hold off at least a little longer on sending out notices of Reductions in Force ..”

This was a most spectacular hour with
a format that allowed Dr. Goodall to have the opportunity to answer the few questions that were asked & then speak directly to the camera - unprompted & uninterrupted - so that her message’s importance & authenticity could be heard & - more importantly - felt.

Take a moment to listen to the inimitable Jane Goodall. RIP. ❤️✊🏽

In the end, it seems, everything involving Drumpf is painful

I read all the time and have also subscribed to Blinklist. I’ve found it to be a great addition to accessing thoughtful writings in those brief moments when opening a book is unrealistic.

Can You Read a Book in a Quarter of an Hour? Phone apps now offer to boil down entire books into micro-synopses. What they leave out is revealing.

Abridging has always been in vogue. Now, apps like Blinkist take entire books and crunch them down to a series of what are called Blinks—which amount to around 2,000 words. “Is that what books are coming to, a handy social lubricant?” Anthony Lane asks.

Mike Johnson Struggles to Explain Delay in Swearing In Democratic Rep The House speaker claims the delay in swearing in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva has nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. He can easily prove it.

The House speaker claims this has nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Then why delay the swearing in of Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, who handily won a special election in Arizona *two weeks* ago?
