Congresswoman AOC has introduced a bill that would ban Supreme Court Justices from accepting lavish gifts from the ultra wealthy. Love that, but what I find insane is that this isn’t already illegal.

We didn't. We bought a small house with a small yard so that it would be easy to care for as we aged. We're having a much easier time than our big-house friends.

According to Donald Trump, the Chinese can steal US elections when he's in power, but not when a Democrat is in power. So I think we know the best way to avoid China "stealing" elections. Vote Democratic!

Let’s be honest, if tonight’s speech proves one thing it is that the 25th Amendment was an empty exercise, a sad waste of ink.

They’re at the “He was just having a really good time with a pedophile” stage.
Screenshot of an X post by Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis, 5h). The text says Deputy AG (and Trump’s personal attorney) Todd Blanche was asked directly whether anyone who had sex with a minor on Epstein’s island would be prosecuted, and claims his response was: “It’s not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein.” Below is a video thumbnail from Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle showing a man in a suit on set; a banner reads “DOJ RELEASES MORE EPSTEIN FILES,” with “WASHINGTON, DC” and a time stamp.

#ShowMeYourKnits I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth Doherty, AKA Blue Bee Studio. I've really refined some of my techniques from knitting her exquisitely detailed, beautifully written patterns, and her top-down sweaters have added stability in the shoulder area, which I really appreciate.

If a company gives a trillion dollar payout to a CEO who is the reason their profits are down 37% this year, are they exercising fiduciary responsibility?

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.
A tweet from Robert Reich states:
“The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?”

Donald Trump is drowning at Mar-a-Lago. You can either shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo or you can rescue him. Here's the question: do you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
