JD Vance is down here in Texas begging Republicans to vote for Cockeye Paxton. Can you guess what he said?

This 👇

Holy Fuck — There really was a little girl in the car when those KKK thugs shot her father in the Bronx. FUCK ICE FUCK TRUMP FUCK YOU FOR SUPPORTING HIM

It's Artificial Intelligence. It's Twitter. It's the Gulf of Mexico. It's Lake Ontario. It's the Department of Defense. It's the Kennedy Center.

Their punishment was to write essays.

THIS 👇 IS TRUE.......

Yuuuuuup…

Okay, now that we have a Trump Blackout by the media, it's time for DEMS to hold court. Get in front of cameras, call press conferences events... TAKE ADVANTAGE.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Fascinating

I'm in love.

Workers & families are struggling to afford a home, buy food, raise their kids, pay their utility bills, & more. And they deserve a government that’s going to make their life easier—not harder. But that's exactly what's happening under Donald Trump and Secretary Scott Bessent.

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

Okay everyone. Here’s the YouTube interview with @jimmykimmel.com and @jamestalarico.bsky.social You know what to do. Watch it. Share it. Donate. Bury them. youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

The amazing rufous hornero bird building its iconic, oven-shaped clay nest on a tree branch. It’s waterproof and cozy

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

I'm looking forward to sitting down tomorrow (August 25) with one of my favorite historians, @hcrichardson.bsky.social, for a live conversation. Join us at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET. It’s free to watch and we’re hoping as many people can join as possible. More details here: bit.ly/46j9ii5

On 9/11, US airspace closed, Canada launched Operation Yellow Ribbon. Gander, a town of 10,000, received 38 airliners. Residents immediately sheltered, fed, clothed, and supported stranded passengers for days, providing this hospitality free of charge. interestingengineering.com/culture/oper...

I wonder why backers of the Paramount merger are resorting to shady astroturf operations like "Neighbors for Strong Communities," a fake organization with an address in Washington, DC that's a nondescript black door next to an Italian restaurant texting ppl in California about "Hollywood jobs"? Oh.

Entering the US illegally isn't a felony, it's a misdemeanor. Overstaying a visa isn't even a crime, it's a civil offense. Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felonies.

Social Security has been America’s most effective anti-poverty program since 1935. Last year, it lifted 23.5 million people out of poverty, including 16.5 million seniors. Remember this when Republican leaders suggest raising the retirement age or cutting your benefits.

Can you guess how much the minimum wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

This is a solution in search of a problem that does not exist.

Can I get an amen?

AI data centers don't create jobs. They kill jobs. And if you want to beat China, try green energy. That's where the future is. These people are so stupid.

I used to be a Social Security trustee. The real reason the program is in trouble has nothing to do with the postwar baby boom or increasing life expectancy. It's because of widening inequality. Watch.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

How did inequality spiral out of control? If you’ve never watched a video of mine, please watch this one.

I miss knowing there's an Anthony Fauci in charge of health. A Hillary Clinton or Antony Blinken handling things internationally. A Pete doing things for transportation. A Lloyd Austin handling defense. A Haaland protecting our lands. I miss knowing adults are in the room. Or at least non-traitors.

YEEEEEE HAH ha ha!
