As a girl, she watched a Native woman die after a white doctor repeatedly failed to show up. She decided to become the doctor her people were denied. In 1889, Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte became the first Native American woman to earn a medical degree in the U.S. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #SheShed

- Obtain Greenland - Make Canada 51st State - Rename AI/Gulf of Mexico/Lake Ontario/Atlantic, Pacific Oceans - Declare War on Iran - Kidnap Venezuelan President - Build Ballroom/Triumphal Arch - Want Face Carved on Mt. Rushmore - Buy Putin's Oil - Remove Russian Sanctions - Deploy ICE Goons

Folks have insulted:  My Southern drawl.  My loc’d hair.  My clothes.  My shoes.  My intelligence.  I’ve been called a ghetto Black b!t€h. Now @JDVance says I don’t belong and should leave the very country my ancestors helped build. This is a lot y’all. It is. #AngieForFlorida

Remember when it was still weird that the president’s wife refused to travel with him?

I don’t remember anyone giving Jerome Powell a check for $100 million. Who gave it to Kevin Warsh, days before he was confirmed and why?

🚨NEW by me: New ICE facility for unaccompanied migrant kids is about to open in Louisiana. While ICE is sanitizing optics, calling it the "Alexandria Family Staging Center," lawmakers and child advocates are raising the roof warning of child trafficking risks. www.thequeenzone.com/new-ice-faci...

Mf’er is like Batman.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration Monday filed its response to the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) lawsuit seeking records about any plans to seize or inspect ballots, voting machines or other election materials during the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It's been 155 days since Trump said Iran's oil infrastructure would spontaneously explode in 3 days due to the U.S. blockade

Sarah Huckabee Sanders using a white male actor in her welfare fraud ad has almost caused a bigger MAGA meltdown than a black woman playing Helen of Troy.

Tens of thousands are gathering in St. Louis for the beatification ceremony of the late Archbishop Fulton Sheen, a pioneer of religious broadcasting.

Marco Rubio: “Iranians are radical religious lunatics.” Also: Have you met Paula White, the White House faith advisor?

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

Hey my fellow North Carolinians, while we have a chance to elect Roy Cooper to the Senate there is so more on the ballot that needs your attention. First off please also vote for Justice Anita Earls so we can keep her seat on the Supreme Court and also vote NO on the amendments. Here’s why!👇👇

Rep Lauren Boebert (R-CO) attacks the LGBTQ+ community and says Christians are being persecuted for speaking out against them. With the new ethics complaint that came out showing Bobo had sexual relations with 3 staffers and only one was a man. Lauren love is love, amirite? 🤦🏼🤦🏼

Bensky: I had met one woman who had been to 42 Trump rallies—she’s very well known in the community. And she said that when Trump had said, “Are we still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” that something in her switched. She said, “I can’t support him. I can’t support MAGA.”

They’re likely trying to prevent defections, but I understand why everyone thinks this is ominous - there’s a lot of intel out there that Putin is planning a major escalation, likely in the Baltic States. Which would be an absolutely moronic thing for him to do, but here we are.

James Talarico @jamestalarico.bsky.social is simply 1 of the greatest, most inspirational candidates to emerge in years, running against Ken Paxton, one of the most disgracefully corrupt politicians of all-time. So the Texas GOP responds by doing what comes naturally to them, of course: CHEATING! 🤮

🚨 BREAKING: The SEC has opened an investigation into Daktronics concerning Kawhi Leonard, according to the scoreboard-maker's CFO on their earnings call today. This is in addition to requests for information, re: the Clippers, from the NBA. "We take these requests seriously and are cooperating."

What Pablo Torre did was ridiculously impressive. Uncovered a conspiracy between rich guys, withstood a propaganda campaign by one of the richest guys in the world with a pretty good reputation, didn't buckle or panic, and just kept reporting. That's some Pulitzerin' right there.

a post from President Trump: "I don't think the GOP fully grasp how badly they are fucking up right now"

If a con man is capable of convincing you that CANADA is our enemy but NORTH KOREA is our friend, then, intellectually you are in serious trouble.

Dolly Parton... -Gifted millions of free books to kids -Ensured musicians she worked with got union benefits -Helped fund medical research, including the COVID vaccine -Donated millions to communities hit by natural disasters -Quietly funded high school band programs We lost an incredible person.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

From the Royal Family: “Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.”

Trump made $2.2 billion for himself and his kids while sitting in the Oval Office. Meanwhile you're deciding between groceries and gas. But sure, tell me again how he's looking out for working people. Every dollar he pocketed came from someone else. #TrumpsCorruptionCostsUS #Pinks

A $900 million defense contract lands in Trump Jr’s portfolio company. Months later the boss cuts a $450,000 check to Republicans. Call it what it is: a kickback dressed up as a campaign donation, paid for with your tax dollars. #TrumpsCorruptionCostsUS #Pinks

🇨🇦 🎶Oh, we’re going to a trade war… They thought Canada would fold without a fight. Instead, we rally side by side🍁 Never mistake Canadian politeness for weakness. We can say “sorry” AND stand our ground🇨🇦 #CanadaStrong #ElbowsUp #SheShed

Oh my god

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

There is no one better at calling out #TrumpsCorruptionCostsUS than Bobby De Niro. He has this administration pegged as well as Congress and SCOTUS. ‘The Executive has descended into a cesspool of corruption, stupidity and cruelty.’ You’ll want to watch this, it’s pure🔥🔥💥💥💥

🥺🙏💔

THIS is how you deal with data centers. Randy Villegas in CA-22 just called for at least a ONE-YEAR MORATORIUM on new data center construction in the Central Valley. FLIP THIS SEAT

MS NOW: "The Talarico campaign is filing a legal motion to unseal two depositions Ken Paxton gave in 2019 and 2022. A source tells MS NOW the Talarico campaign has reason to believe Paxton admitted to crimes in those depositions."

These posts from America First Policy Institute show that Enes Kanter Freedom not only colluded with the Trump grift on his WNBA stunt but is also on the take from MAGA. He's literally the paid protester Republicans scream about. (h/t @timmiller.bsky.social for pointing this out on his shows)

a million pieces/segments sneering at hasan piker and the co-chair of the DSA, meanwhile a republican congressional candidate in upstate new york named peter oberacker is the grandson of an actual nazi germany soldier and his former staffer was part of the 'i love hitler' young GOP group chat

Annie Andrews: "What she [Darline Graham] said there was that her healthcare plan is, 'you should work hard until you die' ... I believe Darline's parents deserved better."

As of today, thousands still remain without power in Gary & Northwest Indiana. Why did it take so long for an adequate disaster response? Gary-born and -raised native son, Chester Gregory, joins me with the latest out of the community, including resources to help: youtu.be/kg-56Jyicbw

🚨 Must-read from @jvl.bsky.social about bizarre backstory of Natalie Harp & how her too-good-to-be-true tale about Trump saving her life was crafted to get attention in the MAGA media ecosystem The fact her biography is fabricated helps explain why she's resisted trying for a security clearance

The 19th Amendment guaranteed voting rights on paper in 1920, but the fight for true equal access didn't end there. Progress is real, yet still unfinished. We must keep organizing to protect democracy and close the gap for EVERY woman. #WomensEqualityDay

This is a concern that I’ve spoken about several times as well, and Twitter randos always told me I was “overreacting” or “fear-mongering” I said this at the time, but it’s nice to have official confirmation. And I very much worry about US leadership in that scenario today.

This right here is a campaign issue the entire Dem party should be running on right now. Invoke our beloved Dolly and point out Republicans don't want you to read ... for obvious reasons. www.rawstory.com/dolly-parton...

My grandma died of pancreatic cancer and, as I recall, it's one of the swifter, more devastating forms of cancer. She was gone within a couple months of the diagnosis. This is absolutely incredible.

✅ 2.7 million credit reporting complaints just sitting there unanswered, ✅ $2 billion lost to Medicaid fraud, ✅ electricity up 20% in some states, & somehow Trump’s regime found time to help the family rake in… ✅ $2.3 billion off crypto. Those $s come out of your pocket! #TrumpsCorruptionCostsUS

This is the final week for the California legislature to pass the COMPETE Act, a major new law that could rein in out-of-control corporate monopolies. If you're a fellow Californian, call your State Senator today and tell them to vote YES: t.co/VZEERv2pLT

Well, that was quick. 24 Democratic-led states and D.C. just sued to block the USPS’s new mail-voting rule, which was officially published today. The rule comes directly from Trump’s anti-mail voting EO and gives USPS new power over how mail ballot requests are handled ahead of the midterms.
