Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

The Invention of β€œSesame Street” Renata Adler’s 1972 review of the program that revolutionized children’s television.

β€œSmall children from poor or middle-class families who watch β€˜Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

ActBlue fires back at GOP investigation, saying it appears unconstitutional and partisan In a new letter obtained by POLITICO, the Democratic fundraising platform says committees investigating it may be improperly collaborating with the Justice Department.

EXCLUSIVE: ActBlue is firing back at a House GOP investigation into its workings.

The Dem online fundraising platform says the probe appears to be an unconstitutional abuse of power to help the White House.

Let this sink in.

Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence.

During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as β€œdisgusting”

"I’m becoming a Democrat because I’m pissed off. I’m pissed off at the ignorant, lying madman in the WH who’s using his position to only enrich himself and his fat cat friends..."

Donald Trump just approved the largest meat company in the world to be listed on the New York Stock Exchangeβ€”completely ignoring its history of corruption and bribery.

Why? Maybe because they donated $5M to his inauguration.

I'm pressing for answers.

Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet All the lefties fled to Bluesky following Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover. But CEO Jay Graber says the app is for everyoneβ€”and could revolutionize how people communicate online.

Had a great conversation with @jay.bsky.team about the future of Bluesky, which she hopes is a future where Bluesky becomes one small part of a much larger ecosystem: www.wired.com/story/big-in...

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Judge Permanently Bars N.I.H. From Limiting Medical Research Funding The decision came as an initial win for a broad coalition of academic institutions that had argued the policy jeopardized ongoing research, but it set up an almost certain appeal.

When we fight, we winβ€”for everyone whose lives can be saved by groundbreaking medical advancements, & for all the researchers in Massachusetts & across the country who make it happen. I’ll keep doing everything I can to defend our investments in science.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
