Buttigieg: You’ve got money from the Middle East going into the Trump family crypto fund while you have Americans going to the Middle East for Donald Trump’s war.

Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Tim Scott want to enact a $200 billion tax cut on capital gains without congressional approval, claiming it will help “everyday Americans.”

Baloney. This overwhelmingly benefits the richest Americans — just like their big, ugly bill did.

10 years ago, Bernie Sanders warned America of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a regime change war with Iran. Watch.

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel!

We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

The dystopian ones are the curved dead-end ones. They were designed to prevent public transportation from penetrating their neighborhoods since busses were associated with access for lower class and minority persons. The history of post WW2 suburban sprawl, red lining, and white flight is crazy.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Just before Christmas, I got a puppy. Her name is Minerva, and we call her *Minnie. I'm still learning how to understand her. Me: Do you need to go outside? Do you need to go outside, little baby? Do you need to do a poo? Do you need to do a widdle piddle? Minnie: Arf! *I just call her "little baby" most of the time. I'm also realizing I can't turn off the baby talk now. Nobody tells you about that.

I got so lucky with my first puppy. Her wonderful foster parents had her completely house-trained by the time we adopted her, so taking her outside for potty time has been pretty easy. I've got the puppy poopy routine pretty much down, now. Me, putting on my coat: Let's see... I got the little poopy bags, puppy treats for bribes, jacket, scarf, phone… I think that's everything… Oh yes! And my passport.

I had been carrying around my passport for a while, but I knew it didn't matter. This is wrong. Nobody is required to carry around their papers. I became a US citizen when I was seven. Since I was born in a refugee camp, I was stateless. The US is the only nation where I've ever held citizenship. It's the only passport I've ever had, and it still felt important. Protective. I would hold it in my pocket like a talisman, like it might ward off ghosts or something. But I realized I was holding onto it basically out of superstition. ICE will pick up anybody. I know that. So I tucked my passport away. And I largely avoid leaving my house.

I live a few blocks just South of George Floyd Square. I was in the neighborhood for that, too. And all the neighbors came together to protect each other. We're already organized. We'll do our best to get through this. Me, to my dog: I hope I can take you for a walk someday soon. Won't that be nice, little baby?

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis.

We hear a lot of talk about “freedom” from my Republican colleagues. And yet these same Republicans are working overtime to deny tens of millions of women the basic freedom to control their own bodies.

That is wrong, and it represents a fundamental betrayal of what freedom is about.

Trump with a straight face: Denmark can't claim Greenland just because "they had a boat land there 500 years ago"

Jon Stewart can’t ignore the irony of Trump threatening to bomb Iran for shooting protesters

Ted Lieu: “The reason Acting President of Venezuela Donald Trump sucks at running Venezuela is because he sucks at running the United States of America — we ask Donald Trump to be the President of America, not the President of Venezuela”

Is neither a choice - I choose neither

What really drives U.S. foreign policy?

Listen to what Bernie Sanders had to say 20 years ago.

Mamdani: "We will answer to all New Yorkers, not to any billionaire or oligarch who thinks they can buy our democracy ... I will govern as a Democratic Socialist"

Side-by-side screenshots of posts on X (formerly Twitter). On the left, posts from Faytuks News cite Russia’s TASS, claiming Vladimir Putin informed Donald Trump of an alleged Ukrainian attack on Putin’s residence, saying Trump was “shocked and outraged,” and later quoting Trump as saying, “Thank God, we did not give Tomahawks to Ukraine.” On the right, a post from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy strongly denies the claim, calling the “residence strike” a complete fabrication by Russia meant to undermine diplomacy and justify further attacks, emphasizing that Ukraine does not take actions that sabotage peace efforts and urging the world not to stay silent.

Trump continues to fall for Putin’s lies, whether by choice or by weakness.

The CDC’s Autism Page Shows Something Is Very Wrong Inside the Agency Something is deeply broken inside the CDC, and the agency’s newly revised autism and vaccine page is the clearest evidence yet.

How the CDC was destroyed from the publication of a fraudulent page.
