Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

We must not allow the richest man on earth to simply buy the American election.

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

Please don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision today Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes cannot be made to voter lists! Yeah it's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal with it. More to come...

On the ground at the Kennedy Center where people are gathering ahead of tonight’s “Hands Off the Arts” protest. Activists are expected to hold hands to form a human chain around the center, and musical performances are expected.

We're devastated by the news of Duncan Sheik's death at age 56. We spoke to the SPRING AWAKENING composer back in 2006 about his work www.americantheatre.org/2006/05/01/t..., and we put the show on our April 2007 cover.

The Getty Center is reopening to visitors on Friday, September 11 after a brief closure due to a nearby brushfire. Huge thank you LAFD for your hard work. Book your free reservations: getty.edu/visit

Texan: The other day I bought ground beef and it was $25 for 3 lbs. That's wild to me. A lot of people right now are struggling with gas prices. The government has money for bombs and ballrooms but isn't working to make food more affordable.

I would imagine that this sound bite + the photos and names of the servicemembers who died would make an effective campaign ad.

These sailors are being put through this for a war that is unauthorized by Congress and for which funds haven’t been appropriated by Congress, a war that is now utterly pointless and which Trump simply doesn’t have the courage to end. Disgraceful. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Maureen Dowd on Trump: “He is willing to undermine and destroy any institution, law, norm or ideal cherished by Americans in a bonfire of his vanities. ………He puts his own ego above everything else, even democracy.”

On a double, Pages' throw fades on Mookie, who goes to get it and make a great relay. Rushing redeems himself by making a great tag on a throw that's way behind him. Dodgers still lead. Wow.

Deportations of children dramatically rose under the Trump administration — 61% of detained children in California were deported, compared to 8% under the Biden administration. 🔗: vist.ly/5bi5i ✍️ Emma Gallegos | EdSource 📸 Carlin Stiehl/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images

Asking for a friend….. were Trump’s victories in 2016 and 2024 fair and square? So all the illegal, cheating, conspiracy stuff was only in 2020? Then the deep state genius crooks laid low so Trump would win in 2024 but now are about to strike again? It’s all so confusing.

Enough with the manufactured distractions, made up lies, and rewritten history. Lower costs.

Today the adjudicated-rapist-in-chief finally had to pay the piper! Trump shoved his fingers in a woman’s vagina w/o her consent. A jury unanimously found Trump liable for sexual abuse. A judge called it “rape.” And SCOTUS refused to overturn their decision.

DOJ has agreed to lucrative settlements with plaintiffs who are politically aligned with this White House―Taxpayer money payouts: Ashli Babbitt, $6M; Michael Flynn, $1.25M; Mark Houck, $1.1M; and in settlement talks with tRump for his $10B lawsuit against the IRS. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo... #PINKS

Billions in foreign real estate deals while serving as head of state. Billions in crypto deals while gutting regulation of the industry. Suing his own government and negotiating a settlement funded by the taxpayers. We're so numb to Trump grifting off the presidency that hardly anyone notices.

And they remain mystified as to why it's so hard for them to find real lawyers who will work for him... Eastman: disbarred Giuliani: disbarred Chesebro: disbarred Clark: facing possible disbarment Ellis: law license suspended www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The Pentagon is expected to send thousands of soldiers to the ‌Middle East, two people familiar with the matter tell Reuters, adding to a massive US military buildup even as President Trump talks about a possible deal with Tehran to end the war reut.rs/3PJ8i1L

Both parties are playing chicken with air safety and national security. We are vulnerable to Iranian terrorists attacks yet our Department of Homeland Security has no approved budget. Time to negotiate an urgent solution that includes reforming the excesses of roving ICE agents.

White Christian Nationalism is the most powerful force in my former political party. It’s now fully out in the open. White Christian Nationalism is scary & dangerous bcuz it’s utterly un-American and utterly unChristian.

Less than 72 hours after the first U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, the conflict had ricocheted well beyond the original targets, threatening some 300 million civilians across more than a dozen nations.

Last year, the U.S. was the only major destination to see a decline in international travelers. With increased scrutiny at the border, ICE violence and unpredictable policies, the new year isn’t looking better. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/t...

As FBI agents equipped with a signed warrant prepared to document blood spatter and bullet holes in Renee Good’s SUV, they were ordered to stop by officials in Washington worried that an investigation would contradict Trump’s version of events. @londonoe.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

USC names Beong-Soo Kim as its 'next generation' president

With 789 cases reported as of Tuesday, the South Carolina outbreak surpassed a massive outbreak in Texas, which reached 762 cases before it ended in August last year. https://cnn.it/4rj7cY9

Gov. Mikie Sherrill: "This is an unaccountable, untrained, lawless organization that is terrorizing American citizens. We need them off the streets immediately."

The global order cannot survive a president who treats sovereign nations like real‑estate listings. Donald Trump’s worldview is a direct threat to alliances, stability, and the basic rules that keep the world from sliding into chaos.

A moment of silence for all that we lost this year… - Presidential ethics - Checks and balances - Freedom of the press - Due process rights - American global leadership - A competent DOD - Operational security - Reliable government statistics - Academic freedom

She was absolutely right. And she would have been an amazing President.

Introducing the highest U.S. tariffs since the Great Depression, President Trump made a clear promise in the spring: “Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country.” They haven’t.

This is not even the first Fed member that Trump has accused of criminal wrongdoing. He has also made false accusations against Lisa Cook. The source of these attacks is an unqualified political hack Bill Pulte. Which is emblematic of how this admin works. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trump-uses...

Federal judge blocks Trump administration's freeze of $10 billion in child-care funds

A federal judge has blocked efforts by the Trump administration to curb diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within Head Start early child care programs, which included attempts to revoke funding from providers who use words like “women” and “race” on grant applications.

Now THIS is what Jesus would do.

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

Today marks 5 years since the attack on our Capitol on January 6. There have been a lot of efforts to rewrite history, but I was there that day. The building that represents American democracy was attacked by a violent mob, incited by President Trump, with the goal of...

The January 6th attack on the Capitol was an attempted coup orchestrated by Donald Trump. We owe it to the officers who risked and sacrificed their lives, and to future generations, to ensure it is never rewritten and never repeated.

This is a very helpful look into Venezuela, their oil and their politics. There are two parts due to the video being >3 minutes so scroll down for part 2. Worth watching.

The federal agency’s posts on Christmas—“We are blessed to share a nation and a Savior"—appear to violate the Establishment Clause, which prohibits government actions that favor one religion. Increasingly, it seems the administration disregards separation between church and state. trib.al/bnYyjHF

Some Head Start early childhood programs are being told by the federal government to remove a list of nearly 200 words and phrases from their funding applications or face denial. The words include "accessible," "belong," "Black," "disability," "female," "minority," "trauma," "tribal" and "women."
