Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional.

Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

House Republicans release new farm bill text Agriculture Chair Glenn Thompson borrowed some Democratic ideas, but the panel’s ranking member called it a β€œcharade.”

A new draft of the farm bill from House Republicans is being used to advance protections for pesticide manufacturers. The proposal includes language that would shield companies from state-level penalties or court rulings if their product labels don’t spell out potential health risks.

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

It isn't an empty gesture, it may not do anything now, but it's a signal to history, and to the world and to ourselves, that this is not ok.

Alright folks, gotta stop there for now!

Thanks for spending part of your Saturday with me. <3

Reminder: they’re going to try to make voting harder this year. Start planning now. Have all your documents in order. Make sure you’re registered. Make sure your friends are registered, etc.

Dog kicked by Memphis Safe Task Force member on the mend as US Marshals defend action The dog’s owner told Action News 5 that the deputy U.S. marshal seen punting her pup had no reason to do so, but officials with the U.S. Marshals Service say otherwise.

Small dog suffers broken rib after being repeatedly kicked by U.S. Marshals deputy. "Action News 5 obtained two videos that show the marshals service employee kicking Yoshi not once, but twice." www.actionnews5.com/2026/02/07/d...

β€œMemorial services are nothing new to staff at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. But this week our chapel hosted a memorial like none that preceded it. The memorial service was for Alex J. Pretti, whose sudden passing left a significant impact on the entire medical center.β€œ

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Hi, what you saw in 2020 was states expanding access to mail in voting in response to the pandemic.

Republicans found out what happens when they make it easier for people to vote, and now they’re doing everything they can to stop that.

Hope that helps.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Face it.

ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, wearing mask, not identifying themselves and using aggressive β€œGestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens alike. Americans are resisting, as they should.

It is time to defund ICE!

Repost if you agree. #BlueCrew

10 Companies Have Already Made $1 Million as ICE Bounty Hunters. We Found Them. And they stand to make millions more in cash bonuses for surveilling and tracking immigrants in service of ICE’s deporta

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?
