BREAKING: Radio shock jock Howard Stern urges Americans to vote for Democrats because the “only fucking issue on the table” is saving democracy to prevent “waking up” in a “dictatorship” run by election-denying MAGA Republicans. RT TO THANK HOWARD STERN FOR SPEAKING OUT!

BREAKING: Indicted 2024 Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump throws his son Eric Trump under the bus while testifying under oath in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ case against Trump and the Trump Organization.
In his shocking testimony, Trump betrayed Eric when he was asked if he is the one with the “ultimate decision-making authority” at the Trump Organization, and he responded, “No. My son Eric is much more involved with it than I am. I’ve been doing other things.”
This immediately caught the eye of New York Times correspondent Maggie Haberman, who responded by telling CNN that it’s “notable” that Trump threw his own son Eric to the wolves by “making Eric the front person in the context of this lawsuit” and fingering his son as the “responsible party” in the Trump Organization’s fraud.
So there you have it, folks. Trump has finally reached the point where he is throwing his own children — who have been his most loyal supporters — to the wolves in order to save his own skin.
What a fitting and pathetic ending to Trump’s criminal family enterprise.

BREAKING: President Biden strikes a powerful blow for the working class as his Department of Labor announces a proposal to restore and extend mandatory overtime protections to 3.6 million salaried workers.
The historic move would guarantee overtime pay for most salaried workers earning less than $1,059 a week, which come out to about $55,000 annually.
"For too long, many low-paid salaried workers have been denied overtime pay, even though they often work long hours and perform much of the same work as their hourly counterparts," said Jessica Looman, a top official at the Department of Labor.
This is EXACTLY the kind of kitchen table policies that Democrats need to support. Meanwhile, Republicans are fixated on pointless culture war arguments meant to distract voters.
Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su heralded the announcement with inspiring words—
"For over 80 years, a cornerstone of workers’ rights in this country is the right to a 40-hour workweek, the promise that you get to go home after 40 hours or you get higher pay for each extra hour that you spend laboring away from your loved ones," she said.
"I’ve heard from workers again and again about working long hours, for no extra pay, all while earning low salaries that don’t come anywhere close to compensating them for their sacrifices," Su went on.
She pointed out that these new rules fit perfectly within the framework of "Bidenomics," which is all about empowering the poor and middle class instead of giving massive tax cuts to the super-rich.
No sane person can argue with this policy. It will stop employers from brutally exploiting American and make it easier for the hardest working members of our society to carve out a life for themselves and their families.
Joe Biden is the pro-worker candidate!

@sandibachom Wow,Sandy,it's chilling. The GOP has been hijacked by Neo-Nazis & Trump is their leader. They're the minority. I feel bad especially for the older folks who have seen this before. And now kids are witnessing it rise,too. Who is funding them? Great,brave footage and film.
The species has been fiercely sought for their tusks, leading to a dramatic decline in their numbers. Scientists predict that if the decline continues at the current rate, they could be extinct within a decade. 4/6

This week, the Trump-appointed Supreme Court ruled that it’s not okay for private or public institutions to level the playing field for people of color with affirmative action, but they also ruled that it IS okay for private institutions to discriminate against the LGBTQIA community. On this last day of #Pride month, I’m just pledging to do my part to keep fighting for equity, to keep fighting to make this society we can be proud of.

I’m sorry. In America, your right to exercise your religion doesn’t give you a right to discriminate.
If your business is open to the public, you don’t retain some license to discriminate based on religious belief. Religious bigotry is still bigotry.
SCOTUS should be ashamed.
