Corporate tax breaks don't create jobs. They enrich the 1%.
Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.
The murder of VA intensive care nurse Alexander Pretti is the third shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis this month. NO MORE.
All federal agents — ICE and Border Patrol — must be withdrawn immediately from Minneapolis and other cities. NOW.
There was no political violence at the Capitol yesterday as the peaceful transfer of power was initiated. That's because one side believes in democracy, and the other side only believes in it only when they win.
The working class of this country is angry.
They have a reason to be angry.
The very wealthy are doing phenomenally well, while 60% of us are living paycheck to paycheck.
It’s time to get big money out of politics and create an economy that works for the people.
I’ve never been the biggest fan of Ronda Rousey, but I have to give her credit for this post. She openly acknowledges getting swept up in a right-wing conspiracy theory, believing the Sandy Hook tragedy was fake. It’s a raw, vulnerable admission, and you can see the weight of the damage she’s done—both to others and to herself—on full display. She expresses deep remorse, and while that doesn’t erase the harm, it is a step toward accountability.
This is exactly why we’ve been pushing the #WhiteDudesforHarris work. We need to have tough, honest conversations about the media people consume, how it shapes them, and what it drives them to believe. There are countless individuals who have said, done, and believed things far beyond the line of decency. But we have to create spaces for them to find their way back to reality. As we’re seeing more and more, people are growing tired of Donald Trump, of MAGA, of the toxicity that has poisoned our political discourse. The more pathways we build to help people re-engage with truth and reason, the better off we’ll be.
So yes, Ronda Rousey deserves credit. Again, it doesn’t undo the damage—there’s still a lot of work ahead for her—but growth is important. Growth is necessary. And if we’re serious about healing, this is the kind of moment that matters.
Tim Walz served honorably for two decades.
Then he joined Congress and worked to pass a new GI bill that helped fund the college educations of millions of veterans—among them, JD Vance.
So Colin Kaepernick gets blacklisted from the NFL for advocating for black lives, but Harrison Butker can give a misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic speech without a peep from the NFL, and I’m supposed to believe that it’s CONSERVATIVES that are getting “cancelled”????? GTFOH
The next time you hear Republicans in Congress complaining about the debt ceiling, remember that approximately 25% of the total national debt was incurred during the Trump administration.
The notion that Republicans care about the debt is one of the biggest lies in politics.
The Republican Party is post-ideological and post-conservative, and while it retains the political branding of the old GOP, it is now a dangerous and destructive movement.
