New puppy who dis?

We added a beagle mix rescue puppy to our family yesterday (someone left 6 puppies on the side of a road in a box marked “free puppies” 😢) and he’s a sweet guy.

Please help out dog rescues/rescue dogs if you can. So many need help. And excuse me if I’m here a lot less for awhile.

If Trump gets reelected, he picks more like this. Maybe this should be important to you.

Sorry, Republicans. Donald Trump isn’t the only person on the planet with executive privilege.

Maybe they could go out and put something together for infrastructure, education, housing, jobs, manufacturing, climate change, or healthcare today. You know, do their jobs.

Justice Clarence Thomas calls criticism of him ‘nastiness’ and ‘lies’

Another example of ... 🤔

"Vinegar calling lemonjuice sour"

Justice Thomas gives some of his most detailed comments since the news last year about businessman Harlan Crow paying for his trips, real estate deals and calls to recuse himself from cases related to the 2020 election because of his wife’s involvement with efforts to block President Biden’s victory.

Federal judge halts new U.S. rules limiting credit card late fees ...

This is another reason why voting for a party that has your best interest (Democrats) is so important.

Republican’s have spent decades reshaping the courts because they knew the demographics were changing and their unpopular ideology was losing them votes and races.

So ... they devised a plan to be able to supersede laws they don’t agree with appointing judges in favor of their agenda.

Republicans’ declarations of support for Israel are simple to see through, but this is a good run down on most of the antisemitic tropes I’ve been seeing all my life.

So, don’t believe anything Republicans are saying about it. However, if you read it, you’ll see some portion of the left is using antisemitic tropes, also, over and over. Antisemitism is antisemitism. There’s no excuse for it.

Biden's Cancer Moonshot initiative is Congress' latest partisan casualty

However, with the ever-present dysfunction of Congress, maybe predictably, the program has been stalled. Some Republicans, refusing to give Biden a “win,” voted against the renewal of funding.

Even though this would be a win for all Americans and humanity it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.

Fediverse: Trump did something- 1 billion posts and boosts.

Account on a supposedly well-moderated instance: “Jews only get Germany, maybe half.” (Maybe know what happened there and not where they’re all from anyway, dumbfuck.) - total dead silence here.

This place is shameful.

Thanks to President Biden for continuing to deliver on student loan forgiveness.

This will free these people from debt incurred due to fraud and help them with necessary and discretionary spending. Overall, this will be a fantastic boost.

I was fortunate enough to be able to pay my loans, but don’t want others to struggle like I did. It’s called compassion with the absence of jealousy.

What would a second Trump term really look like?

You no longer need to guess ...

Regardless of one's personal stance on these matters, it is crucial to acknowledge and understand Trump's stated intentions, as outlined in two extensive interviews with TIME magazine. Ignoring these intentions is no longer tenable, as they have been made public and unambiguous.

Louisiana legislators are proposing an amendment to criminalize the possession of mifepristone and misoprostol, commonly used abortion pills.

A federal appellate court in Richmond made a big decision. They said that health insurance plans in states have to cover surgeries that help transgender people feel more like themselves.

This is a huge win for transgender rights, especially since there's been a lot of pushback against them.

Supreme Court appears open to some presidential immunity for Trump, risking delays ....

The Supreme Court justices were like, "Nah, I don't think so," when Trump's lawyers said he couldn't be held accountable for trying to overthrow the government or have someone killed.

I just saw a comment to a mutual that just straight up said “Nothing Joe Biden ever does will ever be enough to get my vote" and then expressed surprise that Biden isn't gunning for their vote.
