President Trump’s tariff taxes cost every family $1,700 – and the Supreme Court just ruled them unconstitutional.

Give Americans their money back.

Leadership isn't firing people on Twitter, demanding loyalty oaths, or turning every cabinet meeting into a televised praise session. It's competence, stability, and putting the country before your egoβ€”three things consistently absent from Trump's record.

James Talarico is right: β€œThere’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans.

But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world

We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die

😁 Former Russian Deputy Defense Minister Tsalikov, Shoigu's right-hand man, was found to have hundreds of millions in real estate.

He is accused of creating a criminal organization, embezzling budget funds, and accepting bribes.

Even more surprising is that all of this came to light after 2024.

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

@briantylercohen.bsky.social: Should ICE continue to exist in any form?

@rokhanna.bsky.social: No. And that should be the answer across the Democratic Party.

It is a rogue agency killing American citizens. Tear it down.

Excerpt from Wikipedia reads: "Fight against merchandising his characters
For years, Watterson battled against pressure from publishers to merchandise his work, something that he felt would cheapen his comic through compromising the act of creation or reading.[21][22]

He refused to merchandise his creations on the grounds that displaying Calvin and Hobbes images on commercially sold mugs, stickers, and T-shirts would devalue the characters and their personalities. Watterson said that Universal kept putting pressure on him and that he had signed his contract without fully perusing it because, as a new artist, he was happy just to find a syndicate willing to give him a chance (two other syndicates had previously turned him down). He added that the contract was so one-sided that, if Universal really wanted to, they could license his characters against his will, and could even fire him and continue Calvin and Hobbes with a new artist. Watterson's position eventually won out, and he was able to renegotiate his contract so that he would receive all rights to his work. Later he said that the licensing fight exhausted him and contributed to the need for a nine-month sabbatical in 1991.[23]"

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

Ford has caved to MAGA pressure and suspended TJ Sabula, the auto worker who called Trump a β€œpedophile protector” to his face today.

β€œI don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often β€” and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” Sabula said.

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum.

We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today β€” β€œAmerica no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”

Systemic racism in America today refers to ingrained, widespread inequities across institutions that disadvantage people of color, stemming from historical oppression, manifesting as disparities in policing, education funding, wealth accumulation, health outcomes, and political power.

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.
