Welcome our new sister, Luna😻 She has an amazing gotcha story: Dad was driving over the Indian River and saw her tumble out from under a truck. He ran thru traffic to grab her just as she dove into a drainage hole - seconds away from falling into the river😱 She’s happy, healthy and loved!

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

I have at this point written literally hundreds of stories about Trump since 2015. I make it a point in the bulk of them to point out he was the lead proponent of the racist birther conspiracy. The mainstream media has all but disappeared this yet it is the main reason he became potus.

Donald Trump has spent at least $45 BILLION on his Iran war. $30 billion could've extended ACA tax credits for a year and kept premiums from skyrocketing. $13 billion could've paid for Head Start for a year. AND we'd still have money left over.

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

For-profit prisons for unaccompanied minors - during a time when ICE is separating children from their parents in the interior and mislabeling them unaccompanied. Think about where we’ve seen this before and under what conditions.

Barack Obama just endorsed Angie Nixon for U.S. Senate! She may not have the full backing of the Democratic establishment, but she’s building support from the biggest names in the party. LFG! 🔥

The most fucked-up thing about bird flu being discovered at a Utah mink farm is that there are still mink farms. Ugh. How much suffering are humans willing to cause for vanity?

We’ve never seen corruption like this. Under Trump, a whole pardon industry has grown up around the White House, with wealthy criminals paying well-connected insiders for a shot at clemency. Some have paid up to a million dollars. This case blows past all of them.

Mr. Trump - if you’re looking for fraud, I’ll help you find it.  As Florida’s Attorney General, Ashley Moody stole $10 million meant for sick kids and spent it on a partisan political slush fund. You can start there. #AngieforFlorida #WheresAshley

What the Attorney General of the United States seems to not understand, but the people who matter do, is that Congress hasn’t given DOJ any authority to block states from certifying the election. This isn’t a thing. And we don’t have to pretend it’s a thing just because he says it’s a thing.

Severely ill people in need of urgent medical care in ICE custody. Deportation flights as early as TODAY. Destination? African countries they've never set foot in. Which ones? Nobody will say. According to The Guardian, that’s what advocates and families are reporting out of Florida. No answers.

A Leon County grand jury found that high-ranking state GOP officials diverted $10M meant for children to the GOP's own PACs in the Hope Florida scandal. But if you talk about it, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who is on the ballot, wants to have you arrested. So, def don't talk about it.

In any other admin, this would probably be the most outrageous official statement ever made by a sitting FCC director: Strongly implying that the government forbids broadcast networks from reporting on the president's falling poll numbers. (Sorry to paste from twitter but that's where he posts.)

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

The fact that Amy Acton was removed from her mother’s care and went on to obtain an MD and flourish in public health makes her even more of a hero in my eyes. This type of trauma never really goes away. Yet when there was a fork in the road, she chose the one where she helps others. Hero.

Let's be clear: Ukraine did not start this war. Russia did. What American national interest is served by helping an imperial dictator at the expense of a democracy fighting for its survival?
