In GOP Rep Jack Bergman's district MI-01, 1 of 5 people under 65 are on Medicaid, and 32.7% of kids are on Medicaid and SNAP. Who you represent'n, Jack? ccf.georgetown.edu/2024/12/11/m...

If a pulsar that may lie at the center of our galaxy is confirmed, it could enable more precise measurements of the spacetime around the Milky Way’s central supermassive black hole

We can't deport working people fast enough to keep full employment under Trump's trade policies.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to gain access to Michigan’ unredacted statewide voter registration list. Another BIG victory for our clients and voters. Another stunning defeat for Pam Bondi. www.democracydocket.com/cases/michig...

These are all heart wrenching. This one in particular pulls at me. Guilt, because she (age 9) wanted to go to Disney World.

SB party at an Airbnb community in FL. We're the only renters, the other guests are MAGA owners, whining about occupancy rates being way down last year, this year. "Is it the Canadian boycott?" "No, we usually rent to people from Mississippi" Lol. They're talking about selling in depressed market.

He’s pissing and moaning because VA Dems gerrymandered the GOP into even more irrelevance in the state. He thinks it’s fishy that badass leaders like Ms. Lucas punch back harder. The Dems he knows in Congress don’t do that kind of thing.

"It's a big club, and you ain't in it."-Carlin.

Good the UK holding him to account. Bad that it's for financial misconduct: crimes against the monied class. "What leverage did Epstein hold?" seems the larger question. The Brits appointed him Ambassador to the US, Feb to Sept of 2025. They sent an Epstein guy to be ambassador to Trump.

Impunity- Freedom from punishment/consequences. Trump/regime/donors believe they can lie, steal, cheat, grift. Ignore law, courts, Constitution. Accept bribes, commit war crimes, ignore international law. Sell kids, rape kids.

The Department of Justice has demanded voter files from nearly every state and is suing those that refuse — despite states’ authority over voter rolls and elections. Here's what you need to know:

There Bears say they may move to Gary, Indiana. The Gare Bears should never be a thing.

Replied with this to a Tom Nichols post, got blocked. Guess Tom's a bit fragile. No matter, I can still read him in the Atlantic, and without all the dumb stuff he complains about.

Here's an update from the post I shared a few days back. The 21 year old youngster who protesting peacefully & holding a speaker and was shot in the face by #ICE point blank has been permanently blinded in 1 eye! Please share this story widely!

Gilchrist switching from Gov candidacy to Sec State. Reminding us that Sec State is our defense against interference in elections. Sec State is more important than Gov right now. Not endorsing or opposing Gilchrist, but this is a good ad.

Here we are.

If you want to know WHY this is happening, listen to Heather Cox Richardson. She knows the big story… www.youtube.com/live/7JXQhff...

Kristy Noem, just now, saying you can't have dictators committing crimes.

This tracks. Epstein's costar ran for President.

MI-1 Jack Bergman is so unlikely to have signed that I'm not even going to bother checking.

What to bribe Trump to do, after I win the Powerball?

Hey Michigan 1st Congressional District! Remember this? Bergman was so proud to join DOGE that he put out a press release. bergman.house.gov/news/documen...

Tom Cotton is on Meet the Press explaining how the United States Navy couldn't risk approaching two men stranded on floating debris.

Our elections r backwards. We should each vote our preferred party in the primary. Dems would get either 3 or 4 of Indiana's 9 seats, depending on rounding rules. Dems could then divide the state into 3 or 4 districts, and run candidates in the general. Rs divide the state into 5 or 6. No Gmander.

A few thoughts on the new US national security strategy that was released today. 🧵 www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Republicans better start reverse gerrymandering, seeing if they can pack enough MAGA's into one district to hold one seat of every two they had.

So at this point she is a pariah, yes? No person who ever wants a shred of respect, or to be booked on any movie, TV or streaming program,or to be platformed on any media outlet, or to serve in any state, local or federal govt position, should have anything to do with this sadistic weirdo. Right?

HEY LYIN' LOUISIANA JACK BERGMAN: UNLAWFUL orders are that. UNLAWFUL. Or did you miss that day in officer training? Germans who claimed they were “just following orders” in the Nuremberg trials didn’t get a pass. They got the gallows. Nincompoop. @mi-swim.bsky.social

Dannyboy wildlife has amazing content, recommend a follow from anyone interested in wild North America. Also, hadn't really understood antlers as hooks for twisting opponents until now.

This is a trap. You bought your home for 300k. Still owe 250. Now every street is awash in 4sale signs, and no one is buying. You can move to a new town, but you're taking your 250k mortgage with you, and your empty house will be full of raccoons in a year, worthless.

Anyone else who boats on the Great Lakes worried that Trump's random boater execution program is going to expand without warning?

If trump gain dictatorship, this will be one factor in deciding who must be purged. Those who use the chatbot will not be considered to be as dangerous as those who insist on thinking for themselves.

The information in HCR's post would horrify many Republican voters, but they will never read it.

NBC explaining to America what the Democrats who Trump wants to hang were doing. They were taking the chance to show their voters that they are willing to stand up to Trump.

Michigan Republicans want to grant concealed carry permits to 18 year olds. michiganadvance.com/2025/11/13/g...

Hi Upper Michigan and Northern Lower Michigan! This is a good day to remember that our congressman, Jack Bergman of House DeVos, refused to sign the discharge petition to force the vote on the Epstein Files. www.myupnow.com/news/u-s-rep...?

Trump is close to understanding Medicare for All.

"we won because we insisted that no longer would politics be something that is done to us. Now, it is something that we do.” Zohran Mamdani

Republican fuckery all builds from the state houses. Gerrymandering, closing polling locations in urban areas, election procedure tampering, rejection of ballot initiatives.

"Trump's little Johnson"

Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue. POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous

Contumacy

Are they still available, can film be obtained.

It will be hilarious if Trump, who has already excluded the US from much world trade, succeeds in excluding white people from much Canada and Mexico trade within the US because of this initiative.

Remembering how Iraqis were labeled terrorists by W when we invaded them. Anyone we killed. Everyone we wounded. A "terror network" that didn't exist until we made their home a war zone.

Government shutdowns waste funds. Furloughed workers will get paid, but taxpayers will not receive the benefit of the labor those workers should have been doing.

Every day that we deny them the violence that they desperately want, they grow weaker. Their keystone thugs, Epstein, Trump's dementia, the corruption, the policy failures- they want to hide it behind violence. No cover for fascists.
