This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

Tonight, the Empire State Building lights will sparkle pink at 9:25 to honor Dolly Parton. A global icon, her seven-decade career touched generations. She leaves a legacy through her Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, providing millions of books to children.

This is random, but I wanted to extend my gratitude to Democratic Congresswoman Joyce Beatty for her tireless effort in protecting the Kennedy Center from being fully destroyed by a vindictive jealous petty classless criminal. 💙👊

Unacceptable. Jonathan Ross should be in custody awaiting trial for the murder of Renée Good.
Screenshot of a Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) tweet reporting that the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good has been quietly relocated to another state and allowed to return to work. The embedded image shows a three-panel composite of a man's headshot, a street scene with a circled figure near a police car, and a photo of a smiling woman, with a caption reading "ICE Agent Who Shot Dead Unarmed Mom Quietly Reassigne..."

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

He is correct. It is right-wing news saying one outlandish thing after another to get stoopid people to agree and educated to debate. Causing debate and division. "Left wing news" spends its time countering with overly polite reporting, not to offend right wingers.

I think the 2028 Democratic winner of the presidential election should declare, before taking office, that they will disregard any SCOTUS ruling that any illegitimate justice participated in. The justices and Congress can solve that as they see fit.

Trump was quite explicit about his racism and misogyny. People didn’t care, because “the price of eggs” or some stupidity like that, and voted for him anyway So while we might be disgusted by Hegseth’s bigotry, we shouldn’t be surprised by it And if you think-like I do-that it’s unacceptable VOTE

Reminder that DHS funding has lapsed because Trump and Republicans have refused to accept modest reforms for ICE — a rogue agency that has killed American citizens, brutalized immigrant communities, and detained thousands of residents (both citizen and noncitizen) while violating due process.

Here is what you need to know about the SAVE Act: 1. It started as a stunt to protect Mike Johnson's speakership. 2. It has evolved into a massive voter suppression bill. 3. It won't pass. 4. When it fails Trump will escalate. 5. We will fight and win. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

The SAVE Act started as a political stunt. Now it's a real threat.
As we entered 2026, it became clear that Republicans were set up to lose control of Congress in the midterm elections. What followed was predictable.
