🚨 Melania Trump this morning: Proposes an AI system—“Plato”—as a replacement for teachers. “Literature, art, science, mathematics, history… the entire corpus of knowledge… at home.” Replace teachers? With a machine? AI over teachers. That’s the idea. Instead of calling for better pay for our nation's educators/heroes. Sad day!

We cannot normalize ICE inserting itself into our daily lives. Here is a reminder: ICE agents do not belong at airports. ICE agents do not belong at polling stations. ICE agents do not belong undermining our rights and hurting our communities.

Every Republican senator who tried to block the nomination of a qualified Black woman to serve on SCOTUS, calling her a "DEI hire," voted to confirm a white plumber with an associate degree in construction technology and no national security experience to lead DHS.

So TSA agents can't get paid for doing their jobs, but ICE will get paid for doing the jobs of TSA workers with no experience. What an insult to all the dedicated TSA workers! This is a disaster waiting to happen!

Imagine being more outraged by how ICE is portrayed on a fictional TV show than by how actual ICE agents murder people in the streets.

Mexico reported a 64% rise in overwintering monarch butterfly habitat this season, with forest coverage expanding to about 7.24 acres from 4.4 acres last year, credited to conservation efforts and favorable weather

Reminder: if voting requires a $165 passport, that’s a poll tax. We made those unconstitutional in 1964.

This is Dora. She is 22. Maybe even 23. She is my husbands cat. She came with his first rental house, abandoned and hiding inside a dresser left behind by the tenant before him. She's been with us through dating, marriage, 2 kids and a cross country move. She's mostly deaf and blind now, but she will meow excessively until you sit down and pet her.

As the son of a Cuban refugee, I’m all for a free Cuba. But are we talking about dropping bombs on Havana? If Trump sets off a humanitarian crisis, is there a plan for dealing with that? Will Cubans be welcomed into the U.S.? Or will ICE grab them? Is anybody asking this?

Imagine voting for trump because you couldn't afford eggs only to end up not being able to afford anything.

@PATHTrain Is this different than SmartLink?

fortunately US didn't elect a woman president to prattle on cluelessly about interior decorating in a time of war; if so, calls for her impeachment would be immediate.

What are we even doing? LET TRANS PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES. Leave them alone. Stop making laws about them. Stop obsessing about them. They are just people trying to get through the day like everyone else. Their trans-ness does not affect you in any way. STOP HARASSING THEM. STOP.

I’ll save you some time on the State of the Union: • It’s Joe Biden’s fault • Transgender for everyone • Prescription drugs down 1500% • Tariffs are making us rich • Border invasion • We are the hottest country in the world • Canada = 51st state • Some gibberish • Something about Greenland • Nobody’s ever seen anything like it • Fake news • Still Joe Biden’s fault • Witch hunt • Rigged election • I know more about everything than anybody • More gibberish • Greatest economy ever Am I missing anything?

watching that locker room video actually made me sick. hard working, accomplished, talented women who just won a gold medal at the fucking olympics are reduced to a joke and framed as a burden. genuinely fuck everyone in that video.

I strongly condemn NYU Langone for denying trans youth their legal right to gender affirming care. My wife is an NYU Nurse who works with trans patients. I know first hand that this care is the difference between life and death. Shame on NYU for capitulating to fascism.

The people who spent 10 years calling us snowflakes still haven’t recovered from 13 minutes of Spanish at the Super Bowl

NEWS: today I introduced a bill to repeal the U.S. embargo against Cuba. For over six decades, the U.S. has embraced failed, obsolete, Cold-War thinking towards Cuba. Our 60+ year embargo has been ineffective and counterproductive—it hurts the Cuban people, it strengthens hardliners, it gives rise to more refugees, and it undercuts our standing in the world. We have tried the same thing for over 60 years—and it has failed for over 60 years. Let's try something different—let's open things up! Let’s lift the embargo, giving US businesses, entrepreneurs, tourists, and universities more access. Let’s push for freedom and democracy through diplomacy and engagement. Let’s let Cubans who live on the island decide their own future—not Marco Rubio or Donald Trump. mcgovern.house.gov/news/documents…

They'll ban abortion to "save the children." They'll ban books to "protect the children." They'll attack drag queens to "defend the children." But the Epstein files? Suddenly "protect the children" doesn't apply.

The producers of #BadBunny’s #SuperBowl halftime show explain the wedding sequence: “The engaged couple wound up with 15 extra wedding announcements, so they sent most to local businesses with the hope of maybe getting some free wedding perks. But the last invite? They were like, ‘Why don’t we send one to Bad Bunny? Lots of people send wedding invitations to him, so why not?’ Bad Bunny’s office reached out, and they thought, ‘Amazing, maybe we’ll get a signed photo.’ But they were invited to a Zoom call, which they thought was kind of weird. On the Zoom call, they learned the plan: Bad Bunny was inviting them to get married at the Super Bowl. "The couple had planned to make Bad Bunny’s ‘Baile Inolvidable’ their first dance. And so, they went from planning to play it at their wedding to being on the Super Bowl with him live, singing it. And with the bonus prize of Lady Gaga being the wedding singer as well." variety.com/2026/tv/news/b…
