Well, Donald Dingleberry obviously didn't listen to Jimmy's wise advice. He thinks he knows everything when he actually knows nothing.

How many days have you worked this year? For the Republicans in charge of Congress, the answer is less than 80 days on the House floor. The average Kentucky worker spends three times as many days on the job. While Kentucky Democrats work for you, Republicans aren’t even working.

Thanks to the community speaking up, Wilber has left the detention center to get medical care. This is important news & a positive first step. Now, we have to make sure he fully recovers, is reunited with family, & gets to tell law enforcement the full story of how he was shot in the back by ICE.

Civil rights groups want a federal judge to block Trump from deploying federal agents to polling places for the midterms. The lawsuit states that immigration officers have previously violated laws against law enforcement at polling places — and are likely to do so again.

Clarke: It’s hard to take Justice Thomas and Justice Alito seriously. They are not engaged in independent interpretation of the law or our Constitution. They are solely focused on putting their thumb on the scale of Donald Trump’s agenda each and every time.

New video of ICE agents ramming into car during traffic stop in Texas. Then shooting man in his back—from several feet behind. Agent who fired his gun does not appear to be in any danger from a "weaponized vehicle."

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Basic income is our share of the capital we all helped build.
It's a social media "screenshot" of BIA's earlier post.

When a handful of companies control the economy, a handful of CEOs dictate what you watch on TV, which doctor you’re allowed to see, what you eat, whether predators get online access to your kids, and what apartment you can rent. That's exactly why we need to block mega-mergers.
