Serving hot takes on today’s news buffet. Equal parts sass, snark, and unsolicited opinions.

In order to try to manage my mental health I've started coming up with a list of things I've learned since Trump and MAGA have taken over this country 1) There are way more low IQ people than I realized 2)There is a large percentage of people that just don't have empathy. What have you learned?

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

I'm thrilled to share some news: Academy-Award winning actress and producer Octavia Spencer will join me and Nancy Pelosi for our June 1 virtual event, Unfinished Business, to help elect women and other Democrats running for office this year. Can't wait to see you there. www.bit.ly/ubjune1

This hits hard. Not because it’s new but because it’s still true! This isn’t just sad stats.This is real life for millions of women and it deserves more than silence! It’s time we start demanding better! Equality isn’t radical ….. it’s necessary! #SheShed #Equality #Feminism #EmpowerWomen

Scott MacFarlane on the WHCD: Celebrating the First Amendment while honoring leaders who attack and sue the press “doesn’t seem like a good fit.” MacFarlane says he’d rather stay home than attend an event that feels out of step with its own purpose.

HUGE WIN! H.R. 1897 the bill that would have gutted Endangered Species Act protections for threatened and endangered species has been pulled from today’s House floor vote. Your calls and pressure worked. Thank you for speaking up.

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading. It was worth it.

Supporting Trump has become a total identity fusion for his followers. He is no longer just a leader they support but an extension of their own ego, morals, and self-worth. Because they see themselves in him, any criticism of Trump is perceived as a direct psychological assault on their character.

Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.  Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.

Breaking News: The YES vote has prevailed. Congratulations, Virginia Democrats! Picking up FOUR SEATS through smart redistricting is a huge win for fair representation and progress. Tell Trump. I want him to know it was every Democrat.

It’s official - VICTORY in Virginia as voters approve new redistricting plan with a 10-1 Democratic advantage This could mean up to FOUR more seats for Dems in House this November Mike Johnson, consider yourself on notice - the American people are about to FIRE you

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

Trump just accidentally filmed a campaign ad for Democrats. He told Virginia voters that if they pass fair redistricting maps, the GOP will lose the House and Democrats will actually pass legislation. Don’t threaten us with a good time, Donald.

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

After our “community standards violation” for asking people to message brands to speak out against the dismantling of the Forest Service, we had a team work all weekend knocking out a website for the same purpose. It’ll be live in a few hours.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇
