If Biden called Jill Biden “Janice” we’d see 50 articles and sixteen NYT op-eds about his age.

According to Republicans, everything that's gone horribly wrong in America can be tied back to the freedom and independence of women.

The Chicago White Sox want $1 billion in public funding to build a new baseball stadium.

What happens if the city and state of Illinois refuse to play ball?

The team's billionaire owner threatened to move the franchise away.

This is exactly how the stadium scam works.

If helping students with debt is “buying votes”, then surely giving tax cuts to the wealthy is also “buying votes”. Right?

My heart goes out to Nex Benedict’s family, friends, and their entire community.

To the LGBTQI+ youth who are hurting and are afraid right now: President Joe Biden and I see you, we stand with you, and you are not alone.

IRS leadership said Wednesday that the agency will start conducting dozens of audits on businesses’ private jets and how they are used personally by executives and written off as a tax deduction. https://t.co/TUJJBd165W

For couples in Alabama desperate to have a child, this is a gut punch. Rape victims forced to give birth, life threatening medical conditions ignored, and now the ability to have a child, all brought to you by extreme Republicans. And Trump is proud of Dobbs.

They came for abortion first. Now it’s IVF and next it’ll be birth control.

“My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night.

A man came up to her and started talking to her.

A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”

How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!

Side note: She felt safe and did not remove the lid, but let them know.

She said the whole team was watching over her the rest of the time she was there.💚

Thank you to Starbucks for having a great team.”

Hey Tulsi, I realize you didn't deploy to Afghanistan.

Trump lives a life of luxury. Why does he compare himself to Navalny, who was unjustly imprisoned by Trump’s friend Putin, poisoned and murdered? One, Navalny, is a brave hero. The other, Trump, is a narcissist and fraud. No comparison.

University of Chicago Dean of Admissions pulled in $825k last year. Wonder why college tuition is out of control, why grads don’t get jobs that produce a rate of return on tuition & the degree, and why taxpayers must fund trillions in student debt forgiveness. Follow for more.👇

Quick reminder: in the middle of Navalny, space weapons, Ukraine, the Red Sea, Israel, impending govt shutdown, etc,

@SpeakerJohnson decided to send the @HouseGOP on a two week vacation.

Hope they enjoy it. It’s costing America plenty.

Here, @kajakallas says with clarity what I have been writing with less clarity for months now. The specter of the 1930s is haunting Europe right now.
