The GOP’s priorities are insanely off. Sen. Kim is right: Spread the word. Then let's kick these feckless cowards out of office.

This is PHENOMENAL! Thank you for sharing it Corrina! This gives me HOPE in this crazy world! Something we could all use more of!

Creepy scumbag JD Vance continues to threaten Pope Leo by saying he should be careful when opining on theology. The Pope’s duty includes opining on theology and unlike JD, Pope Leo is highly qualified for his elected position. JD can STFU.

After big dams on the upper Klamath River in far northern CA were removed in 2024, Chinook (king) salmon migrated upstream for the first time in 100+ years--and now they have hatched.

Everybody asks -- "What can we do?" Look at Hungary -- that is what you do. Organize. Make alliances. Write. Speak. Network. March. Wave signs. And help raise each others voices. Here is a Starter Pack for just that! Sentd it around. go.bsky.app/RXFLYri

Viktor Orbán created the global blueprint for authoritarian populism and became a MAGA hero. Today, Hungarian voters sent him packing after 16 years in power. There is nothing inevitable about these guys. Organize. Vote. Fight back. It works.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war. Art of the deal, baby.

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Is it any wonder? I have always been a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age, same height, share the same values, but she can sing better. And she has more Grammys. I've always wanted to meet her!

Started out with a bankroll from Daddy. Multiple business bankruptcies. How anyone ever thought he could run our country is still beyond me.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

Interesting story. Could be worth following—who knows? oglobo.globo.com/google/amp/m...

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies -Cracked down on predatory landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

In some of his strongest criticism of Donald Trump yet, Keir Starmer explicitly blamed the US president for pushing up the cost of living in the UK. The PM compared Trump to Vladimir Putin, telling ITV News he is "fed up" with both of them.

Imagine if US auto manufacturers had embraced EVs years ago instead of fighting them

NHK World confirms Japan has perfected a process to extract high purity lithium from dead batteries with a 90 percent recovery rate. Great

Draft dodgers shouldn’t have the power to impose the draft.

First Lady Melania Trump has complained about "mean-spirited" comments about her. Last month her hubby depicted Michelle Obama as an ape.

I'm officially calling for the Cabinet to remove Trump from office under the 25th Amendment. If they can't, Congress must return from recess today and begin impeachment proceedings. Read my full statement below. quigley.house.gov/media-center...

Springsteen's crusade. The arts prevail.

Biggest increase in inflation in 4 years. Biggest monthly increase in gas prices in 60 years. Trump’s war in Iran is costing Americans big here at home.

Notice how Melania is calling on Epstein survivors to go through the grueling and humiliating ordeal of testifying in Congress when she knows her husband is covering up the evidence that would cooberate their testimony? Melania is just as big an asshole as Donald.

Where Congress should be a check on Trump’s every abuse of power—this Republican Congress is shamefully absent, even when he threatens to wipe out an entire country. My message to every American: you are voting in the fall. Your voice and your vote matter. You are not powerless.

Happy Dolores Huerta Day. Since 2020, we've recognized this state holiday in Washington. As Governor, it's an honor to celebrate her work fighting for farmworkers, who do backbreaking work, helping ensure safer working conditions, more benefits, and better wages.

Unless I missed it, the one thing Melania didn't do is say definitively that her husband didn't do anything wrong relating to Epstein. Like it was fully a defense of her and her alone.

GOOD TO SEE dem leadership bringing up the 25th amendment and other accountability mechanisms!

Just a reminder that the DOJ is currently violating the law by withholding large portions of the Epstein Files

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

I'll bet Ghislaine is threatening to release stuff on Melania unless she gets a pardon. Remember: all the really bad Trump stuff that's been released came from Ghislaine's discovery files, and those stories leaked to the WSJ came just before her sex offender status was waived.

Credit where credit is due: Congressional Democrats showed up during recess - they came back early - to introduce a war powers resolution. Republicans blocked it.

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites

The death of a nearly blind refugee from Myanmar who was found on a Buffalo street in February — five days after Border Patrol agents left him at a doughnut shop — has been ruled a homicide, authorities said Wednesday. https://to.pbs.org/3NZGHsz

Washington will not stand idle as the federal government retreats from global public health, undermines science, and threatens our wellbeing. We're joining the World Health Organization’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network. Health of our people over politics.

Anna M. Johnston was the first woman to run for a non-educational office in Tacoma — in 1911, just a year after women gained the right to vote in Washington state — running an "insurgent" and "spirited" campaign against an incumbent.

The 14th Amendment could not be more clear: if you are born in America, you are a U.S. citizen. Doesn't matter what Trump thinks. He can't rewrite our Constitution on his own.

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

As gas prices soar in the US, anger is growing at Trump's war in Iran.
