For years, the Trump admin has launched slanderous attacks against Rep. Omar. This morning, the administration sent federal officials to raid her home. We cannot and will not accept this unprecedented abuse of power. I stand with @repilhan.bsky.social. apnews.com/article/ilha...

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar says she will “not be silenced” and calls a search of her Washington home the “latest escalation” in President Donald Trump’s “intimidation” campaign.

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

I’ve lived in Bost’s district for 10 years and have never seen him in a public setting that might invite scrutiny. Ever. But here is what I know: 1. He regularly votes against his constituents and then lies about it. 2. He’s a failson. 3. He will never show up for this debate (see above).

In trying to grapple with teaching my kids about AI, I point out that AI is not an expert on anything, but just summarizes the most popular opinions on the internet. And opinions on the internet are usually very very dumb.

Armory #datacenterstl devs want the BOA to approve their CBA. The one that was negotiated entirely without the community, where residents can't file any complaints. They also want $390 million break in state taxes. Contact your alder TODAY and tell them to vote NO. The vote could be called any day!

I’m a small beef farmer who has NEVER voted for Trump. We have always treated the cattle humanely, keep prices fair for buyers, and make sure we use processing partners that fairly pay workers. We knew we would never make a fortune, but this might be our death blow.

The excesses of the Woke 1 era mostly amount to cringe public statements, harmless vocabulary updates and loss of prestige for public figures. The backlash to Woke 1, on the other hand, is imprisoning dissidents, dismantling public education and eroding democracy. That's what needs reckoning

A lot of the male response to Platner was along the lines of, “He didn’t rape her, but he messed up because he knew she thought he did.” What’s at stake there is whether women get to name and define rape, or whether that remains an exclusively male prerogative.

Perez is the one missing the nuance. Kids sports have become a capitalist charade, and the activity is only valuable if it results in financial gain. Playing sports for 99.99% of participants will only ever be about love of the game. Trans girls have every right to join in the love of the game.
