Well, you simply can’t be both.
I asked Nithya Raman if she’s a capitalist? She said she’s “both a capitalist and a democratic socialist.”

Black leaders and community members deserve more. They deserve to hear a direct apology from Nithya Raman herself for her comments on Daryl Gates. Accountability means acknowledging the harm and listening to the people who have lived through it. lasentinel.net/black-leaders…

A four-month vision, come to life. Proud to announce our YMCA LA partnership with @CTGLA. Everyone, at every age, and at every stage, deserves access to theater.

“decipher”!? Cursive handwriting?! We’re doomed.
Angelina Jolie left a handwritten thank you note for hotel staff while filming ‘Maria’ in Greece, and the internet is struggling to figure out what it says. The note has resurfaced and racked up millions of views, with people trying to decipher every word. [H/T: lolita]
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The images appear to be AI-upscaled or altered versions of the original note shared by the hotel. The note reads: "Thank you for a restful stay at your beautiful resort. The “Maria” cast had a lovely time here. With love, Angelina Jolie." greekcitytimes.com/2023/10/25/ang… buzzfeed.com/ellendurney/an… x.com/wirelyss/statu…

Just one look at this guy told me all we needed to know.
Art of Play co-owner Adam Rubin speaks to USA Today at his store following Kelly Clarkson’s viral criticism of his store: “Kelly Clarkson put us in danger.”

The way @ossoff dresses Mike Collins down in these debates is exactly how Democrats need to be dealing with Republicans in public. The calmer you are, the more impact the punch.
Ossoff just nuked that Republican into orbit AGAIN 🤣

I’m convinced these people simply cannot read. “Encouraged to apply” “veterans” “working class” who’s being excluded?
Are white men allowed to apply, Senator?

I don’t quite think that’s the American definition…or anyone ANYWHERE’s definition for that matter…@MerriamWebster?
.@VP JD Vance on the definition of socialism: "I think in reality, what it actually means in the American context, is that you want to replace American workers with foreign workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports."

LA is and always has been my home and my priority. From working as a nurse in the NICU to co-founding Community Coalition, serving in the State Assembly and Congress, and now as your mayor, this city has shaped every chapter of my life. And we have so much more to write together.

And he used a discharge petition to force a vote and get a three year extension of the Obamacare tax credits through the House. All while in the minority. Your healthcare was on the floor, and he delivered. It’s time for y’all to stop diminishing the work it takes to get shit done in the minority. A lot of y’all are complainers, but you’ve never been in the room with the doers. This man will be your next Speaker of the House, whether you like it or not!
Health care is on the ballot. Democrats have a four-point affordability plan: reverse the Medicaid cuts, extend the ACA tax credits, take tariff power back from Trump, and stop the war driving up gas prices. Vote for it. #RepublicanHealthcareCrisis

An American President telling foreign adversaries to target American cities, and Republicans will say absolutely nothing.
Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

Illegal pandering from the Oval Office, and a clear lie that he knows is never going to happen considering he’s promised things like this before. The American people know this fraud-in-chief has delivered nothing for families except higher costs from the pump to the grocery store
If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000! Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to signing those checks!

This $5,000 “Trump Dividend” promise was first made in Sept. 2026. Similar prior DOGE and tariff check pledges have not been paid out. It would cost ~$1.2 trillion and require congressional approval. pbs.org/newshour/polit… washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

Maybe, Jack Smith did…

Eric Schmitt accused Jack Smith of perjury during his congressional testimony because Eric did not know the difference between the Hawks and Hawkeyes nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

Absolutely embarrassing moment for Missouri…not just for the Senator and his team.
A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. Watch the whole thing:

This will only hurt the American workforce and families even more, starting with professors, then the university enrollment numbers. This admin does not want people to be educated or cultured. If they want high paying jobs, they should tell their friends to pay better wages.
This is fake news at its finest.    First off, we’re not ‘banning’ any program. The federal government doesn’t set curriculum or programs.    Here’s the truth: we are holding colleges accountable for leaving students worse off than if they never enrolled. Too many graduates report delaying major life milestones like buying a home or starting a family. Why? Because low return-on-investment programs saddled them with unmanageable debt that was never going to translate into a real-world job.    Federal student loans are not a welfare program for failing college programs. American students deserve education and training pathways that prepare them for the workforce – and transparency about programs that will never pay off.

I cannot wait until this cos-playing William Stryker is no longer in charge of our Defense Department. Every day it makes me sad for our military and families.
Pete Hegseth delivers thinly-veiled campaign message to US service members, ordering them to vote in the midterms to overwhelm blue cities like Milwaukee and Detroit: “Keep our nation the land of the free!”
