Been deleting/blocking/unsubscribing from emails w Carville in them. Guy just seems to have no judgement.
People's LIVES ARE ON THE LINE and the only answer is TRUMP losing control of the purse What, and I cannot stress this enough, THE F*CK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE Imagine being more afraid of the DSA pushing Jeffries left than letting Trump keep control of the House INSANE

We've got to nationalize SpaceX. We have no choice. We can't operate our military without them and we can't trust them to serve our national interest. There is literally no other option.
The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

WSJ reports that Ken Paxton celebrated NYE 2025 in Dubai with two U.S. fugitives; they’d been indicted on healthcare fraud and failed to return to the country. One had donated tens of thousands to Paxton. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Trump’s making up endorsements because his rubes are too stupid to use Google. SNOPES: ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, MS NOW, NBC News, Newsmax, and NewsNation found no reporting or evidence that Denzel Washington ever publicly spoke favorably of Trump. www.snopes.com/fact-check/t...

There's actually no excuse for charging prisoners for phone calls. If there is a security issue I'm sure that could be handled without much trouble.
1. Contraband cellphones are pretty normal in prisons, which is one of the reasons I and others have called for some kind of approved personal phone 2. In essence, now, only the people with the power or money to have access can use the phones (or control who gets to us pay phones and when)

He's got an ocean of lies which we can just call the Trump Ocean of Lies, though I guess we've already called it that.
Trump: “We need an ocean. So I was thinking of either the Atlantic or the Pacific. We call it Trump Ocean or Ocean of the Americas, something like that.” Courtesy of @acyn.bsky.social
