Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Quick note for evangelicals: war in the Middle East doesn't trigger the second coming.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

A US federal judge said that a 'mountain of evidence suggests that the dominant purpose' of the subpoenas was to 'harass [Jay] Powell to pressure him to lower rates', in a major blow to the justice department's criminal investigation into the Fed chair. ft.trib.al/ezvHaJT

Trump is a demagogue who not only targets Democrats with bogus criminal charges, but goes after conservative Republicans like Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

Powell’s “crime”? He didn't bow to Trump.

Today, a judge appropriately blocked the Justice Department from issuing subpoenas.

cozy animating session. I think she needs more layers. pun intended 💀

This is the kind of Christian nationalist b.s. that inspires generations of violent hate. This type of rhetoric inspires people to fight until their death against people like Hegseth (including Americans & especially Jews). It will endanger everyone worldwide & provoke endless wars & insurgencies.

Kentucky is one of only 10 states without a compensation law for exonerees. This leaves innocent people who lose years — often decades — of their freedom, waiting for justice.

Along with the Kentucky Innocence Project help us change that. Support S.B. 131.

Every commanding officer in the US military that gives the orders to bomb civilians, desal plants, non military targets needs to be court martialed and sent to prison. A strong message needs to be sent to our military that they took an oath to the Constitution. Iran is a war crime.

The Republican Party's Nazi Problem Is Getting Worse. It Should Care Young conservatives are increasingly expressing support for Hitler and aligning themselves with Nazis. The GOP has largely shrugged in response.

Trump's Department of Transportation is publishing a rule to eliminate core civil rights protections that govern how federal transportation funds are spent.

As a transit dependent person, I know how important it is for transit agencies to consider disparate impact on the communities they serve.

The American death toll in the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran climbed to 13 on Friday, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth would like everyone to tell him he’s doing a very good job.

The former Fox News host’s briefings have amounted to Fox News “performances,” replete with braggadocio and empty phrases like “we’re playing for keeps” and “death and destruction from the sky all day.”

Poland marks the 27th anniversary of joining NATO on March 12, 1999, alongside the Czech Republic and Hungary, a move officials say remains central to the country’s security and its role in the alliance’s eastern flank.

Tucker Carlson says that there will be another 9/11 to justify ground invasion

“The neocons know air strikes won't topple Iran. They need American ground troops. And the only way they will get them is by waiting for or manufacturing another 9/11 style terror attack on US soil to justify it.”
