Johnson isnโ€™t going to have any such vote.

The eight spineless Democrats got conned, yet again.

If the rest donโ€™t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think weโ€™re stupid. Itโ€™s insulting.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and thereโ€™s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

So many of you have written to me about your SNAP benefits, asking me if you should pay bills or put food on the table. This is beyond heartbreaking. I hear you because I AM YOU! In all my years of advocacy, this is the CRUELEST and saddest thing I have ever heard, and I have heard a LOT. DAMN THEM!

Trump reportedly demanded that the DOJ pay him for past criminal cases brought against him.

Reminder that the DOJ doesn't have to make a public announcement, meaning they could pay Trump $230 million in complete secrecy.

That's unprecedented, unethical and unacceptable.

In his infinite arrogance the Fuhrer still believes he carries weight in New York, where he was convicted of 34 felonies and held liable for financial fraud and rape.

Where he bragged about having the tallest building after 9/11.

He mightโ€™ve forgotten. His brain is mush.

New Yorkers remember.

I am 64 years old and FOR MOST OF MY LIFE two things were true:

- fascists were trying to take over the USA

- we were beating them

Those creeps are beatable. We beat them for decades. In the 30s they tried a form of MAGA and US beat them. The 50s? McCarthy purges. US beat them.

Do. Not. Doom.

The people on the right getting mad at Tucker Carlson for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast donโ€™t seem to have gotten mad at all at Donald Trump for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his home for dinner. Funny that.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

โ€œIf theyโ€™re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???โ€

Because theyโ€™re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

ACLU reporting that โ€œseveral of the 6 women detained at South Louisiana ICE Center in Basile, LA, & Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA were pregnant & have miscarried while in custody.โ€

0 outrage from MAGAs about these fetuses. They were never about life. They are only about control of women.

If you are in NYC, and into challenging theater, you might enjoy โ€œPlaying Shylockโ€ at the Polonsky Shakespeare theater in Brooklyn. Saul Rubineck, alone on the stage for two hours, in and out of the Shylock character, musing on identity.

Warren: So now Trump wants to give Argentina $40 billion.

He talked about how tough things are for the people in Argentina and how hard theyโ€™re fighting for their economic survival.

Look around America. Look at all the farmers sitting on soybeans theyโ€™ve got no buyer for now.

If Trumpโ€™s DOJ loyalists help him take $230M they can be held accountable:

State bars
DOJ IG
Office of Prof. Responsibility
Litigation
& more!

These arenโ€™t minor ethics lapses. They are a coordinated abuse of power

Pritzker: "It's clear that Donald Trump has diminished capacity, which I think is sad -- that the people around him are not getting him help, and instead they're just taking advantage of him. And that's what Stephen Miller is."

It costs ~$70 to produce a yearโ€™s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isnโ€™t inflation or supply chainโ€”Itโ€™s corporate greed.

Nowโ€”California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!
