Trump calls Somali Americans "garbage" and said today about Ilhan Omar: “She comes from a country that is a non-country." If he'd been alive in 1915, he would've said that about Italians. If it was 1850, he would've said it about the Irish. He traffics in ethnic hate. We have to stop him.

In ‘24, out of approximately 245M Americans who were ELIGIBLE to vote, 174M voted. Trump created an affordability crisis, war, dared Iran to bomb 2 American cities, & attacked our rights to free speech, press, privacy, & due process. Don’t sit this one out! Vote for a better life, & vote early.
Text at the top of the cartoon says: “This is one of THE most important comics of all time. Please vote this year! The comic is a drawing of two groups of people. One group is wearing “I voted” tshirts. The other group are wearing blank tshirts and the dialogue balloon above their heads says: “WE DIDN’T VOTE BECAUSE IT WON’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE!”

I can't even with Thom Tillis and Bill Cassidy - you regret your votes for the most incompetent and dangerous Cabinet secretaries in US history (Hegseth, Noem, and RFKJr)??? Spare me. You knew exactly who you were voting for and you did it anyway to keep the boss happy. Shame on you both.

I didn't hold back. These centers are a blight on higher education and we should say so. dailyiowan.com/2026/09/15/u...
“Center for Intellectual Freedom is a really Orwellian name because they’re forcing mandatory classes on students who don’t want it,” Ray said. “Just as a matter of pure consistency, if closing African American Studies was just a financial decision, the center should be closed.” Ray said universities do a better job fostering free thought than any other institution — including churches, workplaces, and the military.

“You can say and do things at universities that you cannot do anywhere else,” he said. “So the notion that universities are a problem when it comes to free speech is just a lie.”

Apparently it is of no concern to any Republicans that Trump and Bessent are taking in billions of dollars from plundered Venezuelan oil and nobody knows where the money is, where is has been going, if anyone is getting proceeds, with no accounting of any of it made available.

Trump used the presidency to wipe out his own real estate debt while adding trillions to ours. If any worker did this with company funds, they'd be in handcuffs. The Oval Office has clearly become a personal ATM for him. #CorruptTrumpRegime

For the record, as Trump ups the volume on the necessity of denying voters, voter fraud (especially by non-citizens) is not a thing. It's a figment of a deranged and criminal mind.

"I think that we have the ability to do something that the rest of our culture is yearning for, which is make people who are too rich to care about anything resembling the public interest worry that maybe they need to tell us the truth."

Did you know if we add four seats to SCOTUS in 2029, we could bring back the charges against Trump for January 6? They could overturn the immunity ruling and consider tolling the statute of limitations for the duration of Trump’s presidency. We could also resurrect the classified documents case.
