What if hostile foreign governments were able to control social network algorithms in the United States, suppressing information vital to our survival as a democracy? That would be so weird.

Unacceptable. Meta took down the No Kings Instagram today and kept it offline for well over an hour. Censoring free speech to appease Donald Trump? We the people deserve answers, but regardless, we will not be silenced.

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

The Moron and Lunatic in the White House has now declared China and Russia aren’t helping Iran, and that if they were, “we would know about it very fast.” We do know. His own Defense Secretary told senators they are. Trump's covering for Putin and Xi as they help Iran kill American service members

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

He thinks icebergs and glaciers are the same thing, right?

Trump: "It was global warming. And that didn't work because the planet started cooling. The icebergs are bigger than ever."

C’mon now. It’s not like he did something inexcusable, like call some people “deplorable”

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

Trump: "We will pass a truly great healthcare plan"

IF the strike aircraft were driven out of RAF Fairford by an enemy threat, then that enemy has enjoyed more success than the Luftwaffe during the whole of the Battle of Britain.

Senator John Kennedy's choice to start playing an ignorant hick when he became a Republican tells you *everything* you need to know about what this Oxford-educated man thinks about Republican voters.

Now I’m no statistician: but is a 10 for 300,000 a good conviction rate or even evidence of a trend for that matter? Would batting a 0.00003 be considered a good average?

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

When you literally do not know which laws your president is going to disrespect this week that you have been depending on for your entire life while going broke trying to keep up with his illegal tariffs and war, that's when you know it is "Great Again"

What's the distinction between "illegally" and "criminally" seized ballots? 🤨

BREAKING NYT: The California Supreme Court just ordered a county sheriff to return about 650,000 ballots he seized from election officials as part of an investigation into voter fraud that state officials said had no basis in fact.

Tyranny does not begin when the press is silenced. It begins when the government decides which press deserves to speak. That decision has already been made. You do not get to call it anything else.

“He can’t do that…” Same old since 2016, while he absolutely “did that” At this point, our reliance on norms & the constitution is our fault Vote for Dems in Nov & let’s remove those who wrote strongly worded memos thinking that mattered I want immediate action, not performance & platitudes

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

Rep. Madeleine Dean on John Fetterman: "That was a very sad stunt that he would stand there aligning himself with the most corrupt president in history…Instead of worrying about a socialist agenda, how is it that he has approved of the president's reckless war in Iran?…My constituents are livid."

Trump gave *no* money or help after 9/11. He did, however, do two things: 1. Bragged on TV that the downing of the World Trade Center towers meant that he now owned the tallest building in downtown NYC; and 2. Applied for a $150,000 grant from a post-9/11 federal recovery fund, which he got.

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Trump: “We stopped the conflict between Cambodia and Armenia. It was just starting, and it was a bad one.” Fact-check: False. There was no conflict between Cambodia and Armenia.

BREAKING: the clock struck midnight and our bipartisan housing bill is now law. Trump refused to sign it, but he couldn't stop it. This law is GROUNDBREAKING. It will build more housing, bring down costs, and for the first time, stop private equity from buying up homes.

Until we address the fact most talented soccer players in the US can’t afford to compete because club and travel teams have snuffed rec/school ball out, this is probably going to keep happening.
