Sen. Booker to Todd Blanche: "Your nomination should fail. The Attorney General's client is not the president, it's the American people. You've been protecting one person for most of your career…You should not be confirmed to this job."

Meanwhile there’s a shortage of estrogen patches for women going through menopause. Ask me how I know.

Good grief. These people are clueless.
Post by Michael Adams, Kentucky Secretary of State.
We're getting calls about polls being closed. The polls are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year. The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Every politician, every celebrity, every economist, every man-in-the-street who has a microphone shoved in his or her face by a media personality for an interview should ask unscripted... "Why is your news organization NOT reporting on the president's mental decline?!" Every single interview!

Apparently, the only difference between Nazi Germany and MAGA is that Nazi Germany was center-aligned whereas MAGA tends to be left-justified. #TextFormatting

The ACA (Obamacare) is only available to AMERICANS or anyone legally in this country. It is not even accessible without the proper legal paperwork. So the BS about system abuse by 'illegal' individuals is complete crap. And I should know, I was in corp healthcare for over 25+ years.

The ACA (Obamacare), while expensive, gave more Americans access to healthcare than any other time in the 20th & 21st century The ACA included an expansion of Medicaid. It included preventative tests, it removed life-time $ limits. And Republican Leadership wants this to go away. Ask them why.

It's one thing to lament loss of life and decry political violence, but this revisionism is shockingly dishonest and downright offensive to the millions of people Kirk targeted and upon whom he inflicted pain and misery. The man was a liar and a bigot who gladly hurt others to advance himself.

The Heritage Foundation released the following words from the organization's president, Kevin Roberts, about the death of Charlie Kirk: “His martyrdom must be a turning point for our country.” Yes, he said "martyrdom." Remember, we don't even know who killed the man or why.

A sad moment for the Senate and the country. Republicans just confirmed Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Yes, the same Judge Jeanine that even Fox News said was “crazy” and had to take off the air. How can they vote to confirm these people?

When this bill is signed into law it will be a declaration of war against the United States of America. The conservative controlled Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches of the Federal Government have chosen to start a civil war. FAFO motherfuckers.

The idea that poor people aren't smart with money is backwards. If you're poor, you have to be smart with every dime you have. No billionaire on earth could figure out how to live on $20k

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.
