The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

This is a good example of the fear that ICE has engendered in so many. A man here completely legally with nothing (on paper) to fear from ICE took off running when they showed up at a gas station and was struck by a passing truck. Awful.

In the fake picture of McConnell in his hospital bed in jeans and a button-down shirt, and a hostage-style current newspaper, not only does he look extremely healthy, vibrant, and 20 years younger, but the lighting on his face does not match the lighting on his wife's face.

I'm glad that Graham Platner is out. But it is so disturbing to contemplate that the man who was *twice* elected president makes Platner look like an amateur when it comes to serial sexual assaults.

If Mitch McConnell is indeed brain dead.
Then every one of The Senators and Congressmen Who said They Spoke directly To him should be impeached.

I'd like to be alive when children don't fear this! An estimated 1.5 to 4.2 million children and youth experience homelessness in America each year. Researchers estimate that roughly 1.3 million infants, toddlers, and preschoolers—about 1 in 18 children under age six—experience homelessness annually

Kasie Hunt asked Scott Jennings on live TV if McConnell would be willing to call in to CNN. The discomfort on Jennings’ face while he tried to bullshit his way around that answer was really something. Methinks we still aren’t getting the whole story.

Mamdani is close to going 3 for 3 in his Dem congressional primary endorsements, unseating two incumbents and one incumbent's chosen successor. This is a huge moment that confirms that progressive populism is not a fluke among the Democratic base, and Mamdani is the party's legit star and kingmaker.
