Left-wing nut who believes in justice & equality. I know ridiculous, right? Cycling enthusiast whose spirit animal is a turtle. I keep going, but I’m slow.

John Roberts: lifetime job. No term limit. No election. The man who decided a president can’t be prosecuted for official acts. Here’s the one thing he doesn’t control: Congress can impeach him. Most people have no idea. Spread it.

Ukraine’s future belongs to Ukrainians. It does not belong to an American president looking for a quick political win to bolster his second term, and it certainly does not belong to the dictator trying to erase them from history. -Michael Jochum

I looked at my bank account today and saw that $90 came in from you, the taxpayers. Thank you! You’ll be happy to know that I split that between Troy Jackson in Maine - I so want to say bye-bye to Susan Collins - and El Sayed. That felt good. I’m so fortunate to be able to do that.

I couldn’t agree with this more. Enough with the corporate welfare!

Idea: no corporate welfare, subsidies, or government contracts for corporations whose employees need to rely on government assistance because of low wages.

I cannot overstate the role that these feminists played in my life. I celebrate them.

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word. Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality. Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too. Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

This is just plain wrong. How can we stop this?

Multiple sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln have tried to jump overboard after 8+ months of extended deployment with no end date. Families say their loved ones are burnt out, exhausted, and terrified. No fresh meat or fruit. Rotten food. The Navy keeps them at sea while mental health collapses.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.

Ken Paxton just ran away from a press conference because reporters started asking questions he didn't like. If he can’t even answer basic questions about where he votes and his 15 properties, Texans can’t trust him to be honest or transparent about anything.

In today's confirmation hearings for tRump toady, pedophile enabler, EPSTEIN victims nemesis, Ghislaine Maxwell protector & disgrace to the legal profession Todd Blanche as Attorney General, please vote:

Todd Blanche, Trump’s former lawyer turned acting AG, flew down to “meet” with Ghislaine Maxwell… and suddenly she’s in a minimum security camp where she gets puppy playtime & custom meals. He never stopped being Trump’s personal attorney. He just changed offices. Blanche must not be confirmed.

Speaker Johnson frames reconciliation as debt reduction. It cuts taxes for the wealthy and slashes healthcare for everyone else. That's not debt reduction. That's redistribution. #FundHealthcareNotWars

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.
