ARE YOU FIRED UP? ARE YOU READY TO GO? ELECTION DAY IS NOVEMBER 3RD. 💙

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

Mamdani: "We are talking a federal agency that is ripping families apart, that's willing to endanger the lives of a 5 year old child as well as any New Yorker in the surrounding area, % then after the fact, seeks to blame the person and the city at large as opposed to reflect upon their own actions"

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

What is going on with our president? Calling people "THE ENEMY" for exercising their First Amendment rights is deeply disturbing. That's what autocratic leaders do, not American leaders. Doing so for such a trivial, vain matter is just nutty.

Dolly Parton was the best of us.  She was an American treasure — a rare embodiment of talent, kindness, and generosity in equal measure.  We’ll always love you, Dolly.

I’d like to think the American electorate has now grasped that it’s a bad idea to put in power a sadist, a malignant narcissist, a sociopath and an uneducated man who despises democracy and the Constitution and cares about money and self-aggrandizement more than anything else.

Eight things happened this week that Trump would pay money to bury.

Nine people. No elections. No performance reviews. No retirement age. No way to remove them short of impeachment. Name one other job in America that works like that. Congress can end it with a simple law ⬇️ actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Trump’s Administration spent nearly $500 million on a fleet of planes it rarely uses. Meanwhile, Republicans are doing nothing to lower the price of gas, groceries, health care, or child care. They’re choosing where to spend, and it’s not on you.

Donald Trump has used up almost all of the United States’ long-range missiles to increase all of the United States’ gas prices. He’s smart that way.

Grew up with four sisters. Now I'm a dad to my beautiful daughter Daphne. You don't look away when women ask to be seen and heard. You just show up. That's not weakness, that's what being a man actually looks like. www.standingourground.us/p/off-duty-w...

Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.

They subpoenaed him. Leaked his diaries. Said they wanted him in a cell. Dr. Fauci walked in anyway, looked Rand Paul in the eye, and said he had an “unhinged obsession” with him. And then refused to fall into the MAGA propaganda trap. Good.

NEW: Republican Thom Tillis says Todd Blanche has to meet with Epstein survivors before he'll vote to confirm Blanche. "This is a very important part of getting to yes. There should not be any reason why … if he said that he would do it today, then he can certainly do it over the next two weeks."

Important statement from the New York Times

This is total insanity. Words fail to explain how anyone let alone a plurality of voters thought giving an obviously demented person control of the most powerful government in the world was a good idea. We will be lucky to come out the other side of this alive.

Should a country that kills athletes be allowed to participate in international athletic competitions? My vote is no.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

"Graham Platner is no Donald Trump, but they are both object lessons in what happens when people choose to ignore an avalanche of red flags simply because someone is on the right team." — @snipy.bsky.social

This is so true.

I wish just one NATO leader (or all of them) would say, "This is unacceptable. The US president has lost his mind. America come get your boy. He's broken and needs to be under a doctor's care back home." I wish someone would tell the damn truth about what's happening.

I think we all know what happened here and it’s best to just not ask questions.

Pope Leo XIV used America’s 250th birthday celebration to deliver a not-so-subtle reminder to Trump that immigrants helped build the United States.

Happy 250, America! The country may be far from perfect, but that’s exactly the reminder that our work is never finished. It will always be worth fighting for. And we will never give up on the values and principles that truly make this country great. Happy 4th 🇺🇸

The Trump show has jumped the shark…

"This Land" family singalong because this land IS our land. It was made for you and me -- because We are America. #WeAreAmerica250 @hcrichardson.bsky.social

👏👏👏

Barack and Michelle reminded us today of what leadership in this nation truly looks like. What an incredible day for Chicago and for Illinois as we celebrate the opening of the Obama Presidential Center.

Michelle Obama to Barack: "How absurd it is to even imagine that you might have buckled under the pressure even once. Lashed out in frustration. Lost your temper. How absurd it is to imagine that you might have done anything but make our family and this entire country proud."

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

This weekend #TakeBackTheFlag from those who dishonor it.

The term “shit-eating grin” was invented for Kevin Hassett.

Katie Phang: "So normally I wouldn't give a shit that Don Trump Jr. got married. In fact, I would feel badly for the person who's dumb enough to marry that fail son of convicted felon Donald Trump."

When we have a real president again, he or she will have to waste inordinate amounts of time cleaning up the terrible mess created by this awful mistake of a human who never should have been allowed near the levers of power.

House Democrats are laying the groundwork for a number of probes into Trump should they win control of Congress in November. Rep. Robert Garcia — who’d chair the House Oversight Committee — said “We’ve got a team on Epstein, we have a team on Trump family corruption, we have a team on DHS and ICE.”

Memorial Day asks something simple of us: remember. Remember the service members who lost their lives, the families who carry that loss every day, and the responsibility we all share to never treat that sacrifice lightly.

The president is negotiating against his own administration to shake down taxpayers for $10 billion. The corruption meter is flashing red and sounding the alarm. ca.news.yahoo.com/doj-consider...

The Trump regime planned to waive 28 environmental laws to bulldoze a 30-foot wall straight through Big Bend National Park. Then, a 29-year-old photographer from a town of 150 people fought back—and made the regime officially cave. Hit the ❤️ and read how she pulled off the impossible:

May we one day have a Secretary of Defense who is not all hepped-up on "death and destruction" and is not driven by rage, arrogance and ignorance.
