Imagine that young couple, expecting their first child.

They should be excited – but instead they're a bit scared about how they'll make ends meet.

My budget is for folks like them: by cutting child care costs and expanding access to free, high-quality preschool.

Carolyn Bryant, the woman who got Emmet Till lynched, has died.

Anyone who thinks Emmett Till being lynched in 1955 is ancient history should remember that 18 current members of Congress are older than him and the white woman Carolyn Bryant who got him lynched just *today* died—and that without any accountability whatsoever.

In short, this systemic racism and racial terror against Black people is not ancient history. It's not even history.

It's contemporary reality.

“Today, the big-foot Politico column about accepting a Trump nomination quotes a ‘shrewd’ GOP strategist content to ‘go into the basement, ride out the tornado,’ which raises the question, when exactly did you leave the basement, gimp?” thetriad.thebulwark.com/p/brok

"It is incredibly telling that the Tennessee GOP would invite members of the Danube Institute, as it speaks to their intentions to turn Tennessee into a laboratory for autocracy."

The Danube Institute is Trying to Bring Orbánism to Tennessee - Global Project Against Hate and Extremism

"The Danube Institute’s invitation to speak to the Tennessee state Senate is an explicit attempt to bring Orbánism to the United States."

The evidence presented against the Discord leaker portrays him as something much more alarming than a concerned anti-war leaker. So if MTG was wrong about him, is it possible that the Jan. 6 rioters were bad actors, too?? washingtonpost.com/politics/20

👀 Governor Jay Inslee (D-WA) imho is the best and most effective Governor from the West Coast - it's not close. Another powerhouse move. He is getting it done. #uspol

The woman whose accusation led to a child being beaten to death died without ever facing justice because America is a failed state without the rule of law.

Yet another filthy savage gets away with it. Because America. These “people” are not fit to participate in civilization and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.

Air Force suspends leaders of alleged leaker’s unit.

The U.S. Air Force has suspended two commanders of the Massachusetts unit that included alleged Pentagon leaker Jack Teixeira amid an investigation into the unauthorized release of classified documents. thehill.com/policy/defense/397

NEW: Ivanka fires lawyers shared with Don Jr. and Eric in the $250M NY AG fraud suit - and she hires Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer.

Can't make this up.

So the one of the 3 Trump kids with her own money (via Jared) is suddenly changing lawyers, 5 months before trial. Will she settle?

9/ Testimony turns to the Truth Social post that sparked the second count of Carroll's suit: defamation.

Her attorney introduces a string of crude and abusive tweets against E. Jean Carroll into evidence.

My mother works in a nursing home in The Netherlands.

Her co-worker got #covid, which resulted in blood clots, a leg amputation and diabetes. Another co-worker stopped working due to #LongCovid after an ICU stay. Many more have to call in sick very often, my mother too.

Residents are starting to get strokes more often than before.

Most of the nursing personnel didn't get vaccinated because they believed it would make them infertile.

Nobody masks. Everyone there believes #covid19 is mild.

Dear E. Jean Carroll:

Trump only lashes out at those he's afraid of. He makes personal attacks when he has no other defense.

Keep fighting. The more he goes berserk, the more you know you're on the right path.

Love,

Kevin McCarthy and House Republicans want a 22% cut to veterans benefits -- but sure, go ahead and tell me again all about how the GOP is pro-America and pro-military.

So the same right wingers who screech about "free speech" are now banning/expelling legislators for exercising free speech IN A LEGISLATIVE CHAMBER, in Tennessee and now Montana, just because they don't like the content of their speech and, let's face it, their identities? Got it

I’m not ‘average’ in terms of health; I’m 68, have had Multiple Sclerosis over 40 years, have Hashimoto’s disease, kidney problems, and a rare bleeding disorder. I was always in a group at higher risk from COVID.

Please, when you’re out in public, if you’re feeling the least bit ‘off’, wear a mask. For people like me, for people like my son who is my caregiver & is somehow blaming himself for getting exposed at work. . .

Masks aren’t a 100% solution but they do make a huge difference for so many of us.

Please, wear a mask.

If you don’t like the current rules, just change them.

My regular reminder that I did NOT vote for Coach Clueless.

GOP Sen. Tuberville blocked 184 military promotions in his ongoing abortion fight with the Pentagon
