Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

I am currently on so many anti-inflammatories for lower back pain, that when I touch a social media post by our alleged president, it disappears. (No wonder he can't pronounce acetaminophen.)

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

Instead of closing the Kennedy center after running it into the ground, has Trump considered instead just renaming RFK Jr as "Childhood Disease Promoter Trump"? 🤷‍♂️

With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

If you see celebrity cameos on social media attacking Democrats, it's almost certainly fake, part of a new Russian disinformation campaign. Unless, of course, it features Susan Sarandon. She's always been happy to attack Democrats to keep Trump in power. 🤷‍♂️

Yes, there is no evidence Mitch McConnell is alive and was well enough to authorize a colleague to cast his decisive vote to confirm Todd ("Heil Epstein") Blanche as A.G. But, in fairness, it's not the only time Mitch has simply acted as a puppet for monied interests.

Your reminder: Trump promised us each a $5000 DOGE dividend to be paid in 2025 from DOGE cut savings. There were no substantial cuts and deficits ballooned. Trump promised us each a $5000 tariff dividend paid this year. Then...nope. Now: More promises, more lies.
