This is what a real President looks like.

Taylor: He has turned the presidency into a side hustle. He has turned the White House into a deposit box for bribes, and he has turned your government into, forgive my words, a fucking ATM machine. So no, we don't want his name on the buildings.

Damn, people still love Trump. Look at the crowds at his rallies- no, wait, sorry that's the people who loathe Trump. My bad.

A 3-year-old girl watched ICE murder her father yesterday.

We all watched Sebastian Guerrero’s final moments through our phones.

We can scroll away — but Sebastian’s 3-year-old daughter cannot.

Truly awful that this loathsome individual was re elected to the presidency as a felon, and is now an adjudicated rapist who has finally paid his court ordered penalty for defaming the woman he raped. How much lower can we fall?

Bob Costas on Trump: "He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history.

You have to be in a toxic cult to believe that Trump has ever been emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be POTUS." (2024)

Dear Jaime,

Below is the last birthday photo that we have of you. It is on your 14th birthday. Today should be your 23rd birthday. Today is the 9th year that we are honoring your memory and remembering you as the always laughing, always talking, always active, always dancing, always family and dog loving, and just the most amazing daughter who is missed every second of every day.

At your funeral, I talked about how you were the energy in our house and in every room that you went into. It is a fact that those who knew you knew that you had this amazing ability to always talk and to always say important and thoughtful things. We miss your amazing and powerful voice always. We miss your constant laughter.

I wonder what you would have been like now. I miss not getting to see you growing up, hearing about times with your friends and living your best life with them, having boyfriends, and pursuing your career as a pediatric physical therapist. I wonder if you would have met your life goal of full-time work and marriage by the age of 25. Without question, we know you would have had at least one dog in your house. Without question, we know you would have been using your voice as a voice for good and for those with differing abilities.

Those who were lucky enough to know you knew that your favorite color was orange. The meaning of orange in our life did not begin because of gun violence, it was genuinely your favorite color. The idea that your favorite color was also the recognized color of the gun violence prevention movement is just a tragic reality that we live with every day. Before your funeral, your studio dance sisters got together and made thousands of orange ribbons for us to give out at the funeral. While delivering your eulogy I said “I was never a voice in the gun violence debate before, but I will be now. With you by my side, I will fight. For those of you who do not know me and what I can be like when I take on a cause, I will be relentless. This will be my life’s cause going forward. The Orange Ribbon Movement started by Jaime’s beautiful sisters in Parkland Florida has become the rallying cry for the fight against gun violence.”

Approximately two weeks after the funeral, on a visit to Home Depot while wearing my orange ribbon, I was informed by another customer that orange was the color of the gun safety movement. It was a connection that I did not know of before this. It was not lost on me that the Home Depot sign is also orange. I truly took this as a sign from you, Jaime. The movement had a color, but it did not have a symbol. You were showing me the way Jaime. On that day, I said to mom that I want to make the orange ribbon the symbol of the gun violence prevention movement and to do it in your name. That was the day that we decided to begin our foundation Orange Ribbons for Jaime. The following week, I gave out thousands of orange ribbons at the march in DC and the connection of the orange ribbon to this movement began. I hope that nobody ever forgets going forward that when they see people wearing an orange ribbon because of gun violence, that is because of you Jaime, and the work of our foundation in your name. Your name will always be remembered.

In the early years of our foundation, the focus was on educating the country on why gun violence happens, making sure that the orange ribbon was becoming the symbol of this movement, and in supporting causes important to you and what you fought for, even at the age of 14. Over the years, our foundation started to focus more heavily on causes important to you in life and on our work to support survivors and families affected by gun violence. That is the pure focus of Orange Ribbons for Jaime today.

Jaime, I will be forever moved by the reality that your name is connected to the now recognized symbol for gun violence prevention. I will be forever grateful to those who allowed us into their lives and who we were able to support. Mom and I will struggle more today because it is your birthday. However, we will find purpose and meaning. Your amazing mom made blessing bags with all sorts of goodies, and we will drive around and spend the day giving out the blessing bags to those who are unhoused and less fortunate. Simply put, Jaime, you lived your short life always helping others and that is what we will do today.

We are proud of the work that we do to honor Jaime through our foundation Orange Ribbons for Jaime. If you are so inclined, please check out our website and if possible, please make a donation.

Happy 23rd birthday Jaime. We love and miss you every second of every day.

The two ICE agents who murdered a civilian in Biddeford, Maine today. Let's make them famous.

MAGA commentator tries pushing election lies on CNN with no evidence, gets called LIAR to his face immediately by Charles Blow, and it is glorious.

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

If you were horrified last night watching our elected leaders run and scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed.

Now, becomes a part of the solution and only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

I don’t know who all is guilty in the Epstein files — but I know this for certain:

Kash Patel needs to be impeached and arrested for perjury and obstruction of justice. IMMEDIATELY.

Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."
