"dropped a historic globe reportedly used by former president Dwight D. Eisenhower... rather than wait for artifact specialists" This is just another example of wholly unqualified people in control of our government. Vote people! We are the only ones who can make a difference.
“It’s time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine.” -DJT I think most of the world thinks someone else should be negotiating on behalf of the USA. Putin (via Trump) is doing a shitty job.

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣
This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

It's sad to see how @cbsnews.com has become just another right wing outlet for the most nonsensical conspiracy theories. Murrow and Cronkite are surely spinning in their graves.

“Do you want the voluntary departure?” she asked a 15-year-old boy from Guatemala during the September hearing. Far too often, children, even younger than 5 years old, are forced to appear at immigration proceedings by themselves. It needs to stop. Now!

A friend in California Central valley told me she's worried about the immigration raids increasing there. I told her about Valley Watch Network. They work with immigrants in that part of the state. You can share activity with them to help track ICE. 559-206-0151
I also suggested she hand out Red Cards (Know Your Rights cards) to her neighbors. Many local groups have them available. You can also buy them at Amazon if needed.

Paid sick leave doesn't exist, including for #cancer patients like me. #MitchMcConnell took 92 PAID days off (and frankly continues to), directly benefiting from a policy he denies the rest of us. Meanwhile I'm teaching 5th grade every day so I don't lose benefits & income. Please help & SHARE! ❤️
Fighting #cancer is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's been an 18 year battle - now stage 4. I need to raise $ for my full body PET scan & the $4,900 Signatera tests (4x a year) insurance doesn't cover. 🔗 www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-mom... Please SHARE and help if you're able. I'm grateful. ❤️
"Yet enrollees of Arkansas’ Medicaid expansion ... are overwhelmingly white," MAGA hates it when you bring cold, hard, undisputable facts to the table.

Well, well, well… 😂 A MAGA “election integrity” candidate was just convicted on NINE election-fraud counts. They spent years screaming about election fraud. Turns out they should’ve been looking in the mirror. #USDemocracy newrepublic.com/post/215928/... via @newrepublic.com

Netanyahu made a trip to UAE yesterday, pleading with President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed to publicly deny Haaretz and NYT reporting that he personally warned him, 10 days before October 7, 2023, that Hamas was planning a major attack. The UAE refused. apnews.com/article/isra...

"In 2018, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal. Others involved in the deal, particularly its European partners, tried to keep the deal running without the United States" Bottom line: we're we're in a war with Iran because Trump knows Obama was a better man.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.
Rubio was on the Today show complaining that media treats Iranian statements as true while treating American statements as false. Gee. I wonder why that would be.🤦♂️
California voters: Ballots are dropping in 2 weeks. California offers Ballot Trax to let you know the status of your ballot from the date it's mailed to you through the date your vote is counted. It's reassuring to know that your ballot has been received, and that your vote has been counted.

"It'll end up being ripped down" Donald Trump TELLING US what he's going to do next to the Kennedy Center. Johnson, Thune, and the rest of GOP electeds are ok with this. I'm not. Are you? We need to take to the streets again. In Washington.
