The Republican party is campaigning on nothing. Make that make sense.

An exciting day: I’m testifying today in a Senate hearing about the possible merger between Paramount & Warner Bros. This kind of power consolidation is a danger to freedom of speech and media independence so it must be fully vetted. Hope you’ll tune in and watch: www.youtube.com/live/xETe83T...

I can't get over the audacity of men who commit sex crimes and then run for public office - and win - who think the sex crimes will never come up. I assume that means a lot of them don't. Or they are psychopaths. Probably both.

Draft2Digital actually managed to piss me off this morning. They've been one of the more supportive companies for independent authors. Now they're charging a $20 fee for new accounts, $12 maintenance for author accounts earning UNDER $100 annually. Shouldn't the latter apply to those making more???

The United States of America is the ONLY Nation on earth who's citizens are permitted to have guns SPECIFICALLY in order to rise up against an Authoritarian government and yet they choose to do FUCK All 🤔 This is the feeling we have in Europe.

The GOP asked a North Carolina court to greenlight a deal to create a new system that could send suspected noncitizens from voter rolls to law enforcement and make sensitive data publicly available. If approved, it could lead to wrongful purges and expose eligible voters to legal investigations.

Pretty sure RFK Jr rejects everything that is supported by evidence and exclusively believes that which is not.

BREAKING: Trump has fired Pam Bondi. Under Bondi's leadership, the DOJ became the White House's personal revenge tool. However, as we have learned with the Trump admin, the next appointee will likely be just as corrupt.

The Trump/MAGA worldview says all that exists is perception and will. "Strength" easily gets you anything you want, and if you didn't get what you want it must be because you weren't "strong" enough. That's why they were surprised by resistance to ICE, by Iran, by courts valuing facts and law, etc.

If Kamala Harris were President today, the entire world would be a better place.

Marc Elias has never liked kings. He recoils from them, because the Constitution’s separation of powers is decidedly anti-king. When millions of Americans took to the streets this past weekend and declared “no kings,” they were objecting to Trump’s disregard for these constitutional limitations.

There's not a lot of room left for him to fall. His diehard cultists will stick with him to the end. Nixon still had about 25% approval through his impeachment and resignation, and I bet Trump can beat that. But Republicans who are on the ballot this fall should be in full panic by now.

Vigeland: We talk about how, oh no, they just hate us for our freedom. No, they hate us because we bomb girls schools.

This is probably the least surprising piece of news ever.

Based on the self inflicted and intentional chaos happening in America today, is there anyone who still thinks that the stupid and selfish person in the White House is not taking orders from Russia?

The next president needs to dismantle right wing propaganda media.

The entire Epstein administration needs to be held accountable and brought to justice

BREAKING: Two police dogs at two separate airports have reportedly bitten ICE agents today.

Stop fucking saying the media is being “manipulated” by Donald Trump. It's not. He's not that smart. The media is being “produced” by the same people who fucking own him. And none of them care about the fucking truth. Fuck.

Is Congress aware they can override a veto? I think they have forgotten.

NEW: Minnesota sues federal authorities over Good, Pretti investigations www.ms.now/news/minneso...

A president that admits to hating 2/3 of his constituents and threatens“war” against the people he was elected to serve has violated his oath of office. Totally unfit to serve.

I wish the media would stop being manipulated by Donald Trump. You can’t believe anything that fucker says. Nothing.

So much shit is happening that every day there is less and less talk about the Epstein files. He raped and beat little girls, ffs.

I KNOW it’s hard to accept that democracy is gone. But the longer you count on elections, the longer everyone will suffer. We CANNOT vote our way out of authoritarianism. It’s simply FACT. We must ORGANIZE OUTSIDE OF ELECTIONS to even SURVIVE this, let alone CHANGE it.

Robert Mueller pursued justice and the truth. May he rest in peace. www.npr.org/2026/03/21/n...

Robert Mueller was a patriot who served this country for his entire life. He fought and bled for the United States while many of the cucks who are attacking him did everything they could to avoid service. Nothing any of these subhuman shitstains say will diminish his legacy.

Hubble accidentally observed comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) breaking into multiple pieces after a close solar pass. The rare event, likely caused by heat and stress, revealed fresh inner material, giving scientists insight into early solar system composition

Good morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris.

I don't know how book banning is a thing. The minute a librarian or teacher is asked to remove a book they should ask for that request in writing, with names attached, and go straight to the socials with this fuckery

Maybe American shouldn't have elected the guy that promised to be a "dictator on day one?"

Gomez to Gabbard and Racliffe: "If the president can just ignore what you're doing, why do you even have a job? Why even advise him? You're saying the president can say tomorrow China is an imminent threat no matter what the intelligence says, and then he can take his own action."

Russia is giving Iran our troop locations, and in response, Trump lifted Russian and Iranian oil sanctions. And people still ask why I haven’t changed my name. 🤷‍♀️

There should be a law: when an elected official announces a change of party, there should immediately be a new election. And while I'm at it, we should have a mechanism to remove via a no confidence vote any elected official in whom the electorate has lost faith.

People have to stop calling ICE law enforcement. They are domestic terrorists

We can NOT let any of these people rejoin polite society after this is done. We can’t let ⬜️ people provide cover by calling us divisive when this is over. They need to be treated like the treasonous evil mfers they are or this will happen again. We must fix the mistake of the Confederacy.

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

GOP: the mail is secure enough to receive your photo ID, social security card, your debit and credit cards, your stimulus checks, and your tax returns Also GOP: the mail is not safe enough for voting
