We are being robbed. Of our homes, our healthcare, our retirements, our recreation, our very futures. They lay off 1,000s and use the saving to buy back stocks. Aren't you tired of these thieves taking money out of your pockets?

"I think it's ironic that we control the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling, 'Election fraud? I mean, if there was election fraud, how did we win all the damn elections? I think all of this talk about the SAVE America Act is a distraction." #ThomasMassie

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

In 2016, Leslie Stahl interviewed Trump and questioned him about his constant attacks on the press and why he did it. Trump replied: "I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so that when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you" THE. MORE. YOU. KNOW. 💫

Wheat Hits 23-month High Wheat increased to 661.75 USd/Bu, the highest since June 2024. Over the past 4 weeks, Wheat gained 12.98%, and in the last 12 months, it increased 27.18%.

Agree with this. Also and I could be wrong but I think we will win some seats in red states simply because the GOP is so unpopular

Let me be blunt: Democrats should gerrymander the ever living shit out of every state where we have unified control of government. If we need to gerrymander our way to electing a Congress that will ban gerrymandering, then we should fucking do it. open.substack.com/pub/santiago...

Spain made history by meeting 100% of national electricity demand with renewable energy for nine hours, driven by strong wind output, abundant solar generation, and flexible grid management.

Incumbent German electricity suppliers said in 1993 that renewables could not provide more than 4% of electricity in the long run. In 2025, renewables provided 55.9% of Germany's electricity — 14 times the predicted ceiling.

This is Classic Republican Strategy: They are more eager to reward perfectly solvent entities willing to NOT produce rather than provide a hand-up to vulnerable segments of the population to offer THEM solvency. Think CRP in the ag industry. www.npr.org/2026/03/23/g...

The Supreme Court ruled that Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs are unconstitutional because they obviously are. If Trump tries to impose any other tariffs, Congress needs to impeach (and convict) him forthwith. If a President is permitted to disregard the Constitution then America is done for.

From trailblazers like Jackie Robinson and Octavia Butler, to the proud historic community of Altadena, California's 28th District has a rich Black history paved by incredible leaders, past and present, who have broken barriers and changed our nation for the better. Happy Black History Month.

Recieved i think my fav compliment on a DJ set tonight 1 hour in 'how long can you keep playing' 'as long as you want, this slaps'

The result has been a sustained gaslighting campaign in which truth is no longer something to be verified, but something to be declared by political authority and echoed by partisan media. That is not healthy for a democracy, and Republicans in particular, need to reckon with the damage.

One of the most corrosive things Donald Trump did was weaponize the phrase “fake news.” Beginning in January 2017, he shifted the term from meaning fabricated stories to meaning any reporting that challenged him.

My friend Lizzy Mae Robson wrote this on her FB page. On the surface it's a little chuckle, chuckle but underneath it hit hard: "Denmark said they would buy California & give us free healthcare, and I guess it’s a joke but I really got excited for a minute. That’s all I want."
