Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital.
Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare.
The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.
We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

The BBB gives $45 Billion for expansion of immigration detention (up from $3.9 billion this year) to create a system of mass detention larger than the federal prison system. What is cut instead? $11 billion for Pell grants; $23 billion for nursing home staff; $40 billion for food stamp matching fund

Here's a tariff. Here's a deportation. Here's a Christian nationalist order. Here's the defunding of schools and libraries and museums and medical research. Here's higher prices on every good. Here's a cut to gut childcare. Here's soaring rents and stagnant wages.
Are we great yet?

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

Start here
adorn yourself
in forgiveness
let the first steps of the journey
be kind
and gentle
let the flowers be for you
without guilt
let the breath you hold
be released
let the #velveteen chains
be broken
no matter how alluring they be
you were never meant
for captivity

Trump: Gutting National Parks—And Hiding the Evidence
National parks hit 331M visits, but Trump officials don’t want you to know. A leaked memo bans the Park Service from promoting the numbers—while firing rangers, closing visitor centers, and cutting safety.
This won’t go well—we love our parks.
