Stop invading our cities! There is no grave widespread emergency that warrants sending the National Guard into our cities. Leave us alone.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

I would have gotten my Covid vaccine by now as I head into a big event this weekend if it weren’t for RFK Jr. I got my Rx, but it’s too late. Utah has a high prevalence of active covid cases. I’m under 65 with a qualifying medical condition and was turned away at my pharmacy when I went last week.

Happy Friday to everyone who might be concerned that he has possession of the nuclear codes, blames the messenger for tanking the economy & would gladly pardon a monster to save his own thin orange skin.

With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

In addition to the all horrific thing this Republican Billionaire Bill does to Medicaid and health care and nursing homes, it also gives an obscene amount of money to create a massive police state that will terrorize Americans. People need to focus on that as well.

It always bugs me that people put the blame on things mostly on the women senators Collins and Murkowski. Sure they are often disappointing and this was a big one. But what about the men who voted yes like Sen Curtis and others. It’s not like it didn’t hinge on their votes either.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

the trump administration, obviously concerned with racial equality, thinks its illegal discrimination to spend federal dollars protecting a predominantly black community from raw sewage

Calling it "illegal DEI," Trump issues EO to shut down a program redirecting human waste away from a rural Alabama area regularly flooded with sewage during climate-change-amplified storms. The area's population is over 72% Black. www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...
