A reflecting pool can be cleaned.
A ballroom can be repurposed.
Buildings can be rebuilt.
Signs can be taken down.
This is what MINING does to our forests. When these lands are destroyed, they're gone forever.
Since this administration won't stfu about the SAVE Act, let's break it down.
You want to FEDERALIZE elections and require voter ID? Cool.
✅ Issue a free ID card to every U.S. citizen by law.
✅ Digital photos can be taken and accepted online to process. We know the government has this capability because Palantir has a digital profile and is tracking every American, and ICE is using facial recognition technology.
✅ Waive all fees associated with a one time request for a copy of a birth certificate.
✅ Create a secure website/app that allows voters to verify their identity online with a "Digital Voter ID" that can be accessed instantly at the polls, if there is any issue that arises on election day.
Make it easy and get it done.
We know you won't though, because that's not the objective of the SAVE Act.
Ansari: I didn’t think I could be shocked by anything he does, but he was literally handed a bipartisan housing bill that would lower costs on a silver platter. It was such an easy win for him at a time when he’s so unpopular because of his cover-up of the Epstein files and this illegal war he screwed up. He could’ve said, “I did this big housing bill,” and because he is so committed to rigging the election, he chose to blow it all up. Their party is a mess. Trump is a joke.
Up until yesterday, this is how people interacted with the reflecting pool, which we all own. Now, Trump will arrest anyone who puts a finger in the water. How exactly is this freedom that the GOP constantly says we have more of now than ever before? Let's get back to the old way
Trump used the Armed Forces Full Honor Cordon — soldiers who escort fallen heroes and heads of state — to usher UFC fighters past Abraham Lincoln’s statue like they’re celebrities on a red carpet. I am LIVID. And everyone else should be too.
The White House Epstein Files cover up goes all the way to VP JD Vance, Susie Wiles, and Kash Patel. It’s time to bring these people in front of our committee. We won’t stop until we get justice for survivors.
@atrupar Now, this is goddam journalistic malpractice. Everybody in that fucking room knows he's lying, but not one...NOT ONE...has the balls to challenge his bullshit.
Just ask him to name one state where this is happening. IS THAT SO GODDAM DIFFICULT? Jesus.
Mark Zuckerberg’s $300 MILLION yacht arrived in Seattle the same day Meta cut 1,400 jobs—part of a larger round of 14,000 job cuts.
Nothing says our economy is broken like billionaires sailing around on yachts while workers are left out to dry.
Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that the audio of Speaker Johnson ADMITTING that he's planning on cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security SHOULD BE A HUGE STORY.
Don't let him slide on this.
Donald Trump Jr takes a financial stake in a company…
3 months later, the Pentagon gives it $620 million…
after Trump’s White House told them to…
And the company’s valuation rose from
$200 million to $2 billion as a result.
This is corruption.

An appropriate birthday present on my uncle's birthday today. A federal judge ruled that President Trump and the Kennedy Center Board acted unlawfully in renaming the Kennedy Center. The judge held that only Congress can change the Center's name and blocked the planned two-year closure. I know they'll probably appeal and the story isn't over, but for today let’s celebrate a great birthday gift.
You can't tax rich people on unrealized gains from stocks because "it's not real money until it's sold."
So explain to me why my property taxes keep going up based on the unrealized value of my house?
I didn't sell it.
I didn't cash out.
I didn't make a profit.
But somehow I'm paying taxes on paper gains every single year.
Interesting how "unrealized gains" only become a problem when wealthy folks are involved.
I read something like this and I think: Some of us have been so focused on their authoritarianism and abuse of power and lawless that we’ve perhaps neglected to point out the additional fact that these are also just terrible humans—lacking class, grace, kindness or dignity.
Kinda fucking wild hearing Dr. Oz complain that Americans are “under-babied” in a country where we get no paid maternity leave and can barely afford groceries, rent, childcare, housing, or healthcare. These people are completely detached from reality.
