Joe Manchin single-handedly consigned millions of children to poverty because of his baseless belief that poor parents used the 2021 child tax credit payments to buy drugs.
The Treaty Principles Bill removes NZ's indigenous people from a legal status which assured them of consultation, consideration and compensation
Saying it is about "equal rights" is a colonising smokescreen weaponised to gas light and distort public perception the bill's intent.
On Friday, we sent a letter to senators signed by 140+ national orgs urging confirmation of ALL pending judicial nominees. Last night, @SenSchumer moved forward on 9 more nominees who will strengthen our judiciary. We must get this done. #ConfirmJudgesNow https://t.co/SSd3N4CzMx
We applaud the Senate’s confirmation of Judge Mustafa Kasubhai, Sarah Russell, and Judge Rebecca Pennell to federal district courts in Oregon, Connecticut, and Washington state. Their appointments strengthen our judiciary and our democracy. We must keep going. #ConfirmJudgesNow
The Senate’s consideration of a president’s judicial nominees is one of its core functions and has huge implications for our rights, our freedoms, and our democracy.
It’s critical that senators continue voting on President Biden’s highly qualified nominees. #ConfirmJudgesNow
So popular you never mentioned the issue you lobby for in ads.
So popular you took GOP money and courted Republicans to meddle in Dem primaries.
So popular your candidate needed to spend 15x more than what I spent to defeat a 52-year family dynasty.
If Superintendent Walters really wanted to put Bibles in every classroom, he would have done it. It's not hard or expensive. It would take no more than a few hours of time and a handful of phone calls to secure private funds (maybe $150,000) and the bibles. Instead... 1/3
is the left “obsessed” with gender, sexuality, race, etc, or are they just constantly having to defend people in marginalized groups against a right wing that’s ACTUALLY obsessed with gender, sexuality, race, etc
Elon Musk was sued today in a class action brought by signers of his America PAC petition "giveaway."

I saw something last might about this. How MAGAs are no longer gloating about "liberal tears" because liberals aren't crying.
The first time was a shock.
The second time everyone knew exactly what they were doing.
So liberals see this, rightly, as an assault on American values and the futures of their children and grandchildren.
They're not crying, they're cutting fascists out of their lives because now they've got to deal with the world the trolls made.
And so the trolls are all stuck with one another now, but the problem is their primary motivation was gloating over the Liberal Tears. So they're out of steam. And the MAGAs actually fucking hate *each other* too, so I'm the absence of snowflake tears they're quickly going to turn on one another.
When you elect fascism in my country you have told me who you are. You are full of hatred for the most vulnerable people in our society. You don't care about the environment or public health or education or human rights or the rule of law.
Fine, but we don't owe you a second more of our lives so you can feel better reveling in our sadness. We've gotta deal with the shitshow you've brought to our shores, so suck it up, buttercups.
“GEO Group was built for this unique moment in our country’s history,” said the private prison giant’s chairman to investors this week. After maxing out on campaign donations, it’s now preparing for mass surveillance and deportations under the new admin.
