Republican candidate: I think for myself. I don't have to do what the president says, I can disagree with him-- Trump (tweeting): Everyone has to call Congress "Toilet" now! Republican candidate: --and that's why I'm running to be your next Toiletman

This is outrageous. Un-American. Straight from an authoritarian playbook. ICE has no business knowing how you voted. It’s time to wake the hell up. Our democracy is under threat.

We can verify the daily physical status of a specific Seattle raccoon but apparently we're completely unable to determine whether a United States Senator is alive or dead.

People are making fun of AOC for having a slight southern accent while speaking in Memphis but they clearly don’t know the pain of habitually and unconsciously imitating the speaking style of the people around you

There’s a fire in our area and the sun is setting through the smoke. I noticed the light through the window left a vivid orange streak across our puzzle of the earth hanging on the wall, so I took a picture. I dunno felt kind of apropos

Tonight, you will likely hear the president claim there was foreign interference in the 2020 election. To be clear, there were attempts, but there was no evidence they changed any election outcome. From a joint DOJ/FBI/DHS/CISA report in 2021: www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul...

‘Melissophobia’ is a fear of bees. ‘Mel’ is Latin for “honey.” The name, ‘Melissa,’ comes from the Greek word for “honeybee.” In Greek mythology, Melissa was a nymph who fed the infant Zeus honey instead of milk. Later, the gods turned her into a bee (spoiler alert).

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
