Idaho teacher ordered to remove signs saying "Everyone Is Welcome Here!" School district lawyer said because the hands pictured were different skin tones, "not everyone would agree they are welcome." Adding, "In today’s political environment, it's considered a personal opinion…
Keep your eye on the ball. The whole "arrest Obama" play comes suddenly out of the blue as Trump runs out of Epstein options. If they do a deal with Ghislaine, we all know what she will (not) say. It's the files. The files don't do deals. What do they say?
BREAKING: James Talarico went on Joe Rogan and made the best case we've seen for why to be a Democrat. Every American needs to see this.
BREAKING: Joe Rogan saw this clip of State Rep. James Talarico demolishing Republican hypocrisy and said he needed to have Talarico on the show. Talarico is one of only three Democrats to get on Rogan and is a rising star in the Democratic Party. Let’s go.https://t.co/BVASvjUYyS
Biden sure was crazy giving his son a pardon. Clearly Trump wasn't going to abuse the FBI in any way whatsoever
JUST IN: Citibank reveals in a court filing that it has been asked to freeze funds for a Biden-era climate program by: -The FBI -The EPA administrator -The EPA IG -Treasury documentcloud.org/documents/2555…
This right here completely vindicates Biden’s decision to pardon those people
"Even" the New York Post gets that it's nuts to let the government take anyone off the streets and deport them to a foreign prison, with no right to call their family or a lawyer, based on a mere accusation. BTW, no one in America carries proof of citizenship everywhere they go.
NEW: There’s a dire situation in Vietnam, at the largest Agent Orange spill in the country. When Trump and Marco Rubio cancelled foreign aid, froze funding and began dismantling USAID, those who were cleaning up the Bien Hoa air base had to halt work. 1/
Casey: There’s this whole mentality that MAGA has painted—like you’re either MAGA or you’re drinking soy lattes… But there are a lot of people who are just like, “We’re just regular people—we don’t want a dictator, we don’t want to see people’s benefits ripped away, especially…
So... How confident are we that those guys Trump moved from US prisons to El Salvador's prisons weren't born in Chicago?
ICE picks up random Latino man who was born in Chicago while buying a pizza.
Busy day on the campaign trail, but celebrating last night’s win with a Culver’s stop.
I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.
The Trump admin. is openly threatening PBS and NPR. This is how @NewsHour opened its program on Monday. The network accurately reported how Trump's tariffs will hurt Americans. This is journalism. This is courage.
They are so impossibly out of control on this. 5 alarm fire.
Stunning interview with DHS deputy secretary Troy Edgar and Michel Martin just now. The conflation of protest and terrorism stopped me cold. npr.org/2025/03/13/nx-… @NPRMichel
What kind of person goes out of their way to be this unkind to a colleague they work with on a daily basis? Why is this acceptable behavior among Republicans?
There are a lot of Trump-aligned voices telling people to calm down. Selloffs happen. And it’s true. People tend to regret panicking. But this is one of the fastest selloffs of the last century, while the President pursues a policy that virtually no economist will defend.
White nationalist Nick Fuentes says that Trump is a "populist demagogue" who is just "stirring up the rubes" to empower himself: "As much as I hate to admit it, liberals were right fundamentally about Trump."
"All the Lefty overreach was annoying as hell but the MAGA disdain for science is 100X worse."
Just got the following message from a scientist at a top 25 school. He was one of a handful of scientists at his university who voted for Trump, and reports they're all now completely ashamed of it. I am an NIH-funded biomedical scientist with conservative leanings. I know at…
