Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

The attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan is horrifying. My thoughts are with the congregation and all who are shaken by this act of antisemitic violence. I am continuing to closely monitor the situation. Out of an abundance of caution, the NYPD will continue to deploy high-visibility patrols to Jewish religious and cultural institutions across the five boroughs.

Horses 'still dying' after flights from Canada to Japan β€” and regulator seems unaware | CBC News A new investigation by animal rights advocates shows horses being flown for slaughter in Japan continue to suffer injuries, illness and even death, reigniting the call for Canada to ban the shipments.

It seems government ( #CFIA ) records stating that #horses flown to #Japan for meat land in good health are untrue. This must stop now.

Don’t look away. Please read the article and learn the facts.

On a chilly February morning, a group of people are looking at a young tree. They all have their backs to the camera and are wearing purple jackets. The sky is a clear blue.

Trump has made billions from the presidency and he is now using the services for our military dead as an opportunity to sell his branded merchandise (the cap). He should not be wearing headwear of any kind at this moment, let alone something he sells on the internet. This is indecent.

JUST NOW: β€œIt was done by Iran.β€πŸ€”

Despite NYT analysis that a πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ bomb killed those Iranian school girls, Trump insists Iran did it. (Hegseth hesitated to agree)

Color us unconvinced.

Good riddance (again) to Vinay Prasad at the FDA. The only problem is that under this administration we can only expect him to be replaced by someone as bad or worse.

@msnowcomms.bsky.social Hey! I am a big fan of Nicole and Ari but the repetitive ads are really getting to me. Not sure I can keep watching. Sometimes the same ad 3 times in a show. And most are like public service ads not even for a product … so so boring. Please change!

Our economy is bleeding jobs. Prices are up, especially for gas. Yet the White House prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires, while launching a reckless new Middle East war.

It doesn't have to stay this way - not if the American people make our voices heard.
