Wonder how many repubs are looking forward to the day when that gross moron no longer has a stranglehold on their party?

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I despise the contant comparisons of crowd size at rallies. I hoped we had learned our lesson from the last election. Does rally size really equal votes at the ballot box? I don't know the answer. What are your thoughts?

If you have a dollar for every transgender athlete playing college sports you'd have about $6 which just happens to be the price for a gallon of diesel now. Congrats MAGAts, you played yourselves.

My daughter has a side job creating buttons for local businesses and non-profits. We worked on several for my local Democratic Committee. This is my original contribution. Don't you love it?

Kicking Graham Platner to the curb is not showing you are the party without the hunger to win, it is showing that you are the party, unlike the alternative, that has moral standards. That can only help the party in the long run.

Who agrees this needs to go viral? Justice, accountability, and democratic rights should never depend on who is in government. Watch. Share. Let the conversation reach everyone. #FreeDC #Justice

What matters most is clean air, pure water, and fertile soil. We need the trees, the bees, and the seas. Raise ecoconsciousness Promote environmentalism Embrace biodiversity We must become relentless stewards of our miraculous planet. Nothing else is more important.

Where's Ms Rachel? I'm in DC with 535 packets of children's letters and pictures from Dilly Immigration Detention Center. Members or Congress need to hear their voices and understand the trauma that they are enduring while a for profit prison company, Core Civic, makes millions.

We cannot allow another President to drag us into a forever war in the Middle East again. We cannot murder an entire civilization. We cannot be silent. There must be strong bipartisan opposition to this President’s war of choice.

Y’all are acting like you’ve never seen a 79 year-old sexual predator wake up on Easter Morning, snort some Adderall and insult the world’s 2 billion Muslims while threatening war crimes against a country he illegally attacked to distract you from ‘Epstein Files’ before?

Recently I was attending our local Dem committee meeting when an older gentleman referred to this platform as "blueski" which is what I will now always call it.

Some mocked us online about our small rally in a red Virginia county being mostly "old people" from nursing homes. What they fail to comprehend is that many of our promising and skilled young people have left for better lives for their families.

BREAKING: Iran confirms it has no interest in a reciprocal assassination against Trump because no weapon it could possibly build, not even nukes, could do more harm to the US than the current president. Iran actually sees Trump as a major asset ...Josh Helfgott

A month into the war, Trump is fighting for safe passage through the strait and negotiations to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions, things he already had before he started the war.
