Clean water is a basic right. This dangerous effort to roll back water quality protections will only allow more harmful chemicals into our drinking water — putting Americans' health at grave risk.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

They know that the midterms are going to be a disaster for them so republicans are posing as democrats in certain house districts … please pay attention to these senate primaries and house races… also pay attention to democrats who are running that aren’t fully against EVERYTHING Trump is doing

The fact that MarkWayne Mullen would not concede that Joe Biden won the 2020 election and also would not say that he would not break the law on Trumps orders automatically disqualifies him. I don't know how that can even be a debate.

Trump is blackmailing Senators to pass the Save America Act. He will refuse to sign anything into law if they don't pass it. He is determined to cheat in the next election!

Did congress authorize this fucking war where American lives will undoubtedly be lost? If not, why the fuck do we have a congress? Why are we paying very large salaries and benefits to all these assholes since they do absolutely NOTHING!

Republicans in Congress could bring all of this to an end today. But they won’t. They aren’t innocent bystanders, they are accomplices.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

This is the memorial plaque, which Congress approved to honor the bravery of our law enforcement officers in saving lives and protecting our democracy on Jan 6, 2021. It was approved before Republicans took over; now, they refuse to display it.

Dear First Lady, Melanie and first daughters Ivanka and Tiffany, I bet you are all immunized! I hope your children are immunized! Time for you to sit down with your husband/dad and suggest that he fires RFK jr. He has No medical training and due to his crazy policies kids are going to die!

We’re only a few years removed from creatjng a vaccine to protect against a deadly airborne virus in a matter of months. Now, we have a scion fail son running the CDC into the ground not because it failed, but because its success conflicts with RFK Jr’s eugenicist ideology.

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.

Attorney Brittany Henderson, who represents several Epstein survivors: “Ghislaine Maxwell was federally indicted for perjury. Anyone who knows even a fraction of her role in Epstein’s operation won’t take her testimony seriously—it’s worthless.”
