"Who won the 2020 election?" is the sort of question you ask people to ascertain if their brain is functioning. Failure to answer is akin to being unable to address questions like "can you remember your name?" and "what year is it?"

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

Immigrants have paid more in taxes than they have received in benefits every single year for the past 30 years, according to new analysis from Cato. Remember this the next time Trump and his racist lackeys call immigrants "freeloaders."

素晴らしい高校生😭 ICEに怯えている子供たちへのICEが及ぼす精神的な影響は計り知れないですよね。一方で、こんな勇気ある子供たちを見ると、この国の未来はきっと大丈夫と希望の光が見える気がします。

🚨 NEW — Statement from the family of Alex Pretti: "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital... 1/
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man."

Carrying a gun is not illegal and in fact, many would say it’s the most patriotic thing you can do. What is illegal is executing a man after you’ve taken his gun and he poses no immediate threat. It was murder plain and simple.

We created a new tool that uses prescription label information to identify where your drug was made. It also lets you see if and when that factory was inspected for quality and safety violations. Try it out 👇

Where Was My Generic Prescription Drug Made? - Rx Inspector - ProPublica
The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information on your prescription label to locate the factory and see inspection reports.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

He is, instead, a 59-year-old Long Island wine importer named Bill DeBlasio, who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s policies.

“I’m Bill DeBlasio. I’ve always been Bill DeBlasio,” DeBlasio said in an interview conducted Wednesday evening through his Ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida.

“I never once said I was the mayor. He never addressed me as the mayor,” DeBlasio told Semafor Wednesday evening. “So I just gave him my opinion.”

外国人の親を持ち日本で暮らすこどもたちに、日本語教室を提供する活動をしている『メタノイア』というNPO。ここブルースカイで存在を知り、ほんと少額なんだけど、活動趣旨に賛同しサポーターとして参加させてもらってます。 わたしは自分自身が留学で米国にやってきて最初は言葉が不自由で流暢に意思疎通ができず辛くて泣いた経験があるんで、当時のわたしよりずっと幼い子どもたちは、難民・移民として日本に親に連れてこられて、日本語に慣れるまでどれほど不安だろうと思うんです。 そのメタノイアさんから、こんなメールが届いてたので、スクショでシェアします。 metanoia.or.jp/index.html

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

This detail from the WSJ’s new Trump-Epstein reporting also seems pretty bad www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
The Epstein estate also turned over another letter from the book that references Trump. It came from businessman and longtime Mar-a-Lago member Joel Pashcow, who made a crude joke about a woman that Trump and Epstein socialized with in the 1990s, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Pashcow letter included a photo of a posterboard-sized check for $22,500, which had been mocked up to appear that it was sent from Trump to Epstein. Beneath it, a handwritten caption said: “Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women sells ‘fully depreciated’ [redacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500.” The woman’s name is redacted in the image.
