Trump is infatuated with Putin and is being used to delay any sanctions on Russia for continuing the war against Ukraine. it shows how weak Trump really is in that he is not prepared to stand up to Putin and protect Ukraine's sovereignty. He probably does not really care.

Why does the POW/MIA flag continue to be flown on government buildings? Isn’t there a better way to honor service men and women who were imprisoned during war and those who are still missing? The flag seems to be an ugly relic of the Vietnam war.

Brad Lander and Zohran Mamdani were obstensibly running against each other to be New York City’s next mayor. But their cross-endorsement and alliance showcased what parliamentary-style coalition politics could look like in the age of so much vitriol and polarization.

trib.alHow Brad Lander Helped Push Zohran Mamdani Toward VictoryIn New York’s mayoral primary, Andrew Cuomo was no match for the energy of progressive rivals who saw a virtue in unity.

The Democratic Party needs more people like David Hogg. DC Rep Norton is the reason why.

As the DNC eyes a vote to oust Vice Chair David Hogg, the 25-year-old Parkland shooting survivor has thrown his support behind a progressive candidate in an upcoming special election in Virginia.

I am an immigrant from Australia I used to love this country as a place of equality of opportunity. With Trump and his authoritarian sycophants in power that sentiment is fading.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Why not get rid of the arcane plastic recycling symbols and just have a "RECYCLABLE" & "NON-RECYCLABLE" and "COMPOSTABLE" & "NON-COMPSTABLE" designations on all containers. This would make it easy for consumers. Also ban black plastic containers. #recycle #plastic #microplastic #reuse #circularity

@karaswisher.bsky.social I don't get the constant criticism of Teslas. I leased a Model 3 (before Musk and DOGE) and despite the bad vibes find it amazing. I tested all the other offerings and had a Polestar 2 3 years prior. It has all the features, is comfortable, energy efficient at a great price.

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

Agree entirely, it’s all about money and what access it can buy.

Mountains of shame on Shari Redstone and everyone else involved here trying to settle such a ridiculous and baseless legal action. They’re so poor, all they have is money and they will eventually pay the price for their grotesque behavior.

Bill Owens, executive producer of “60 Minutes”, resigns: “I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes’, right for the audience.” We’re falling into fascism. — Deeper and deeper.

Trump promised to end the war in 24 hours. He lied. Again.

Marco Rubio is now acknowledging that it might not be possible for Trump to end Russia's war on Ukraine (Trump promised to end it before he took office!)
