The thing about Republicans’ baseless accusations is that there’s no reason for the SPLC to manufacture hate. Donald Trump and his administration do that on their own.

BIG NEWS: the House just voted to end the war in Iran!

@barbmcquade.bsky.social hit the nail on the head with this one… Donald Trump found his new Roy Cohn and it’s Todd Blanche. From covering up the Epstein files and getting Ghislaine Maxwell moved to “club fed” to this slush fund for Trump’s foot soldiers, Blanche is at the center of it all.
What are you even talking about, Doctor Oz? If Americans are having fewer kids, maybe it’s because people don’t think they can afford to have a family right now. Maybe if you took off your gold-colored glasses, you’d know that for yourself.
I know some of the news has been discouraging lately, especially when it comes to voting rights and our democracy. We’ve got to keep our eyes on the prize and do all we can to make sure everyone’s voice is represented.
Future generations will ask us where we stood, what we said, what we did when we had these platforms. They will ask us if we bowed down to a tyrant, to a bigot, to a man who spreads hate. I know where I stand.
I saw the report that RFK Jr. looked into banning SSRIs. Perhaps if he had any medical expertise, he’d know that these medications are lifesaving for so many Americans. Yet again, this is the Trump administration trying to insert itself between patients and their doctors. I’m not having any of it.
This corrupt slush fund Trump created to give payouts to his allies, including the violent attackers who beat police officers on January 6th, isn’t a settlement. It’s theft.
Clearly this admin doesn’t want you to know about how their Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, is tied to Jeffrey Epstein. I’m glad the House Oversight Committee picked up on that thread this week. He needs to go.
The quickest way to stop Trump’s corrupt insurrectionist slush fund is for Republicans to stand up for themselves for once and stop it. We hear them expressing their discomfort behind closed doors or anonymously in the media. But it’s time for them to put their money where their mouths are.
Wanted to bring you some good news: the House overwhelmingly passed a major housing bill yesterday. Expanding access to affordable housing for Vermonters is one of my top priorities in Congress. This bill would be a good step in the right direction.
I’m glad to see California is taking Amazon to task for price fixing. At a time when American families are struggling to afford the basics, no company should be able to wield so much power that they shape the market like this. We need an economy that works for all of us.

Here's an angle I got of Cheryl Reeve's ejection last night #WNBA Two Lynx fans, I believe, were yelled at by Reeve, who also cursed at some fans in the stands.
We asked Cal Raleigh to rank his top home runs of 2025, and here were his favorites⬇️ No. 60 No. 57 No. 55 No. 49 No. 38 Did he miss any?
None of this should be happening right now. We need to force our elected officials to open the fucking boxes. This isn't about changing what's already happening, this is about securing the future. This is about letting them know that we know what happened. The collaborating evidence is in the boxes

If you hate Israel or Jewish people please do me a huge favor and fuck off. That also includes all you idiots who think we are bombing the shit out of Iran just because Israel said so. I really don’t care how many of you unfollow me. I am tired of hearing this nonsense. Sincerely fuck off.

Brooke Rollins stripped food benefits from 4.3 million people and told Congress she doesn’t have exact data on what happened to them. The One Big Beautiful Bill cut $186 billion from SNAP and added paperwork requirements that end benefits if you miss a deadline. She guessed it was probably fine.

It is amazing, considering how bad Donald Trump's acting skills were in his cameos, and unfortunately, watching 90s TV, every once in a while he's mentioned in a propping way🤯, which is why 👩🔬 needs to work harder on her time machine—👩🔬:I told you, it's a lack of funding!!!

Still in disbelief about how thoroughly Julian Hall BAMBOOZLED Rodrigo De Paul before creating the equalizer in Red Bull New York's plucky 2-2 draw at Inter Miami. This young man only just turned 18 and he utterly hoodwinked a World Cup winner. Bilked him. Swindled. Full-fledged flimflam.

What Reform and the Conservatives won't say about expanding North Sea oil and gas: it won't make bills in the UK a penny cheaper! A diverse mix of UK-produced green energy is how we lower people's bills and provide the true energy security we need.

American system is broken and is unsustainable. From an unaccountable president starting wars to sky-high mortgages and fuel costs. The status quo is failing YOU. We don't need to go back to "how things were"-we need a total structural reform, even a constitutional amendment.
