Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

Jeffries: He’s been a failure. Republicans have been a failure. And to the extent that we need regime change at this moment, it is going to come in November.

We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.πŸ‘‡

Let's be clear: banning mifepristone = a national abortion ban.

Mifepristone has been safe, effective and FDA-approved for 20 years.

Extremists won’t stop until abortion is banned everywhere. I'll keep fighting to pass my Women’s Health Protection Act to restore the right to abortion nationwide.

Randy Fine has been spewing anti-Muslim bigotry, calling for the execution of mainstream Muslims.

Republicans have gone after Omar and Tlaib for years, resulting in death threats.

This spiked in the summer against Mamdani.

Dem leadership never censured any of them.

Now GOP is fully emboldened.

Damn. This is not how it’s supposed to be, and I’m ready to fix it.

WARREN: Has Rubio made any request for transcom to help evacuate Americans out of Middle East?


REED: State made a request on Feb 28 & we have provided some assistance

W: When we called them yesterday, they said they haven't asked you for assistance. Can you explain that?

R: I cannot explain that

I can see why. Life must have been good in Oklahoma in 1925, the girls look joyful.

Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet β€” and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now β€” never be the first to stop clapping.

It’s not because of security. These aren’t secured houses. They’re mansions normally saved for high brass, with butlers and whatnot. Their security β€œissue” is just the paper justification, because it is completely *not* normal or okay for appointees to live there, for free.

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to β€œfederalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

I love the original Hoagy Carmichael singing Stuart Gorell’s lyrics to the tune he wrote for it, but some musicians like Ray Charles, cover it in such a way that what’s best about this song is much much clearer and more beautiful. Like Chris Smither’s cover of Dylan’s desolation Row.

This is silly and false. The only operators of Tomahawk missiles are the U.S. Navy, Royal Australian Navy, Royal Netherlands Navy and Royal Navy. Iran has no Tomahawk missiles. If it did, it’d have no way to launch them.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.

The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets β€” more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
