Booker eviscerates Patel: "He's like an 18 year old kid who wants to join a fraternity that he could never be a member of, doing keg stands and chugging with friends. He's an embarrassment. He is a disgrace. This is a mockery and a sham. What's bad are the people enabling him."

Max Rose just laid out the next 90 days in three sentences: Oppose the war in Iran. Expose Trump's failures on affordability. And hold this administration accountable for their horrific corruption. That's the mission. Nothing else.

Ronald Reagan ignored the AIDS crisis—and his “dear friend” from Hollywood, Rock Hudson, who asked for help. Dr. Fauci jumped in and helped. Guess which guy the homophobic ghouls in the Republican Party revere today.

Trump wants people to ‘appreciate’ his Great American State Fair flop
The president is looking for public gratitude in the wake of failure. He is likely to wait a long while.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

The first order error is “We can maintain the infrastructure for AI indefinitely despite it costing a third of the American economy to run and maintain while generating less than $10 billion in revenue. Training kids to be reliant on that, despite documented learning loss, is a huge gamble.

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump: "Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Dear Auston Mathews, Were you one of the lugs on TEAM USA who laughed at the Women's Team? We will know if you show up at the White House to kiss Trump's ring. If you do, don't bother coming back to Toronto. We like real sportsmen. Not MAGA Americans. Ask Gretzky for advice.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Charlie Kirk was a white supremacist who pushed the racist Great Replacement Theory. Kirk was vociferously anti-LGBTQ. Kirk's final words were to besmirch Black people. Stop this revisionism. People who say bad things don't deserve to be murdered, but they also don't deserve to be praised either.
