If Iran and Donald Trump don't open the Strait of Hormuz by the time I finish watching Step Brothers on TBS, I will be forced to also close it myself. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"

Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing: Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs. What the hell are we doing?

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Can't believe that anyone is stupid enough to think that Trump went to California and just turned the water on. If there was a valve you could just turn on, the dems would have done it. Ffs, we have machines that can cause hurricanes. You think we couldn't open a valve?

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Bernie Sanders: "We are moving rapidly into an oligarchic form of society ... we can't go around the world saying, 'in Russia Putin has an oligarchy.' Well we got an oligarchy here too."

Across the board, more union members voted for Democratic candidates than the general public. As Democrats decide on their new leadership and next steps, they must re-center working people. Working people must be at the table. And we've got a plan. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

thenation.comIf Democrats Want to Reconnect With the Working Class, They Need to Start Listening to UnionsThe Democrats blew it with non-union workers in the 2024 election. Unions have a plan to get the party on message.

We did a great job challenging previously unopposed candidates in 2024. Let's build on this progress in 2026.

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #literacy #libraries #librarians
