SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

“Muslims don’t belong in American society,” Rep. Andy Ogles declared in March. Bigots like Andy Ogles don’t belong in Congress, Tennessee voters declared tonight.

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” - Archbishop Desmond Tutu One side wants fascism. The other side wants healthcare as a human right. To even attempt to conflate the two is absurd.

Bathroom rug head Rand Paul never gave a shit about the orange felon invoking the 5th amendment 450 times to avoid committing perjury because he’s an actual criminal unlike American hero Dr. Fauci who invoked it to protect his words from being used as propaganda by assholes like Rand.

I stand with Dr. Anthony Fauci …because I value EVIDENCE over conspiracy, DATA over rumors, and SCIENCE over politics. No public official is beyond criticism, but there’s a difference between honest scientific guidance and misinformation. I’ll choose evidence EVERY time. #medsky #publichealth

I’d like to think the working class are realizing that establishment Democrats are indeed worthy of contempt and DSA will fight for what is important to all of us. Hallelujah!

The Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.

E. Jean Carroll spent nearly a decade in court fighting one of the most powerful men in the world. She fought with tenacity and grace — and she won. She is one of my personal heroes. We all owe her a debt of gratitude.

In 2020, Trump lied before the election, lied after the election and -- when he lost in court -- incited a violent insurrection at the Capitol. Right now, he is lying and losing in court ahead of 2026. He is going to escalate and we need to be ready.

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

How About Joining Us For An Active Shooter Drill!!! “Politicians whining about having to wear a Kevlar vest to be safe is funny. Hello, and welcome to the world that you are literally responsible for creating.”

28 years of cyclosporiasis testing Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. All are back because of this science denying administration.

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

ICE lied about how Renee Good was shot. They lied about how Alex Pretti was shot. And now they’re lying about how Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot. Don’t believe their story for a second.

Pam Bondi is out: after debasing DOJ to please Trump, her reward was an abrupt, humiliating firing. Plus, Trump delivers a cryptic address on the Iran war, and the birthright citizenship case unfolds. Bright & early Mon., Talking Feds breaks it all down.

Nothing says expert like a weekend talk show host. When he gets fired the orange balloon will hire Sylvester Stallone as Secretary of Defense because, well, you know…Rambo. 🤨

AND we WIILL ARREST, INVESTIGATE, and PROSECUTE ALL ICE employees who assaulted, kidnapped, stole from, damaged or vandalized personal property, tortured, shot anyone NOT in self defense, maimed, falsely imprisoned, & murdered human beings, our 4 legged companions, & any other living creatures!
