Schumer is hoping that enough time will pass and people will forget about this, but we’re not playing that game anymore. We refuse to be treated like fools while Democratic leadership sells us out and expects the outrage to fade. Sign & share if you agree: Schumer must step down as Democratic Leader

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism. From Around the Horn:

to celebrate Jackie Robinson without highlighting his race and the discrimination he faced because of it in every aspect of his life is ridiculous and insulting.

The issue with people like Schumer and Carville is that they refuse to accept that politics is not the same as it was 20 years ago. They refuse to accept they are the remnants of a system that doesn’t exist anymore.

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

Musk is rich because you gave him $38 billion in tax money to make that. He is happy to tell you what you don’t need. He’s also picking a side in foreign policy, and it’s not our side

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

Before yesterday's crash, President Trump: - Fired the heads of the TSA and the Coast Guard - Pushed out the head of the FAA — leaving no one in charge - Gutted a key aviation safety group - Pushed air traffic controllers to quit as he purges the government He's putting Americans in danger.

I spent most of my 22-years in the Army as an aviator in and out of line units flying OH-58's and UH-60's.We lost more aircrews in peacetime training accidents than combat. It's a very dangerous business. Having the President smear them as their families are freshly mourning is unforgivable.

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house." Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded. www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t...

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

I’m so grateful to be sworn in for a second term in Texas 30! Thank you to the nearly 1,000 friends, family, constituents, and elected officials who joined me for Tuesday’s swearing-in. I’m honored by your support and will keep fighting for Texas 30.

Immigrants, the power has always been in your hands. We need you. If you could find a way to survive not working here, for even a short period, you would cripple our economy and force the broligarchs to treat you with the respect you deserve.

Watching these red states attack federal funding—apparently not realizing that most of their states are broke and would completely collapse without it—will always be hilarious to me. “Give it all back to the states!” Sit down, Cletus. Your state can’t buy sandwiches for kids.
