There are masked death squads roaming our streets & a genuine madman occupying the White House. Ousting and punishing as many actual-fascists as humanly possible needs to be the top priority of Democratic leadership. If you can’t do that Rep. Jeffries, for the sake of our Republic, step down.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who is in line to become House speaker if the party wins power, said Democrats will be united "right out of the gate" on reinstating ACA tax breaks, reversing Medicaid cuts, holding votes against the Iran war and undoing the president's tariff regime https://to.pbs.org/4B3jZ6E
Hard to overstate how much Hegseth's execution stream mirrors the U.S. military's traditional description of ISIS propaganda: broadcast killings designed to send a message, strike fear and create a social media spectacle. Will almost certainly be repurposed by online terror cells
A truck driver working 40 hours a week making $50,000 pays $3,800 in federal income tax.
An investor making $50,000 in capital gains pays $0.
That is the rigged tax code in plain English.
"Testosterone testing on top" sounds like an alliteration from a particularly gay Gilbert & Sullivan aria. Which would be nice, in circumstances other than these
Excellent idea, a daring solo parachute mission into IRGC headquarters in Tehran would give him the chance to show his true warrior spirit. I'd pay handsomely to watch the livestream and at a guess so would around 2.8 million service members, reservists and National Guard.
Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection to reject the peaceful transfer of power & deny the people's will. He never should have been able to run again. GOP senators condemning Jack Smith for conducting a fact-based investigation as politics & worse are engaged in treachery of the worst order.
Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."
Trump's nominee to lead the FDA refused to say whether she thinks mifepristone—which has been approved by the FDA for DECADES—is safe.
Medication abortion is the most common way women access abortion in America. Every Senator must vote NO.
Talarico torches Paxton for his desperate lies:
“Every accusation is a confession for Ken Paxton... I'm sure I'm going to see a TV ad saying that I've been impeached by my own party, that I own 15 homes on a government salary. I'm sure there's gonna be an ad saying I stole someone's $1,000 pen.”
A man from West Virginia called into CSPAN letting them know that the people who live there & voted for Trump are now walking around scared. He’s a diabetic & under President Biden he paid $6 dollars for his insulin & now it’s 80 because the Inflation Recovery Act was canceled.
The new newspaper is called "The Washington Sun" and I shall subscribe to help make the paper BIGGER than the Washington Post.
Even Kathryn Graham & Ben Bradlee would approve.

California is showing economic growth and decreasing carbon emissions can go hand-in-hand!
The 4th largest economy in the world running 9 out of 10 days on 100% clean energy — two thirds of our energy is clean energy!
Charlamagne tha God slams JD Vance for begging for "another chance":
"What happened with the chance you already had? If you were doing the things you promised, you wouldn't even have to ask."
Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "
The fact that these minor parties always try to go directly for the presidency and nothing else tells you they're not serious about even trying an alternate path to power and just want attention, are an op and/or grift, etc.
“Twenty-five years ago today it would have been hard to imagine that the World Trade Center would be redesigned into a new complex. It would be hard to imagine a future president who lied about being in the rubble.”

I've been arguing that the left should pitch their morally superior policies as economically superior policies. They're almost always both. SNAP generates $1.54 in GDP per $. Head Start is $4. NIH is $2.5. Free Child Care $4.25.
Moms: Remember when you could buy real hamburger beef that was under $10/lb? Remember when you weren't afraid your kid would get the measles? Remember when you could make a co-payment for a dr visit without a payday loan? Remember when you weren't afraid you could die because of a miscarriage?
Everyone in the Trump administration, every Republican elected official, every Republican candidate, every Trump donor, should be asked what they think about Trump inventing heroic stories about himself on 9/11.

Genuinely, good on you Bill. If we had more people in the world willing to reflect and change their mind, we'd probably all be in a much better place. Best wishes from over the pond - we're rooting for you.
People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024?
It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment.
The tent is big enough for all of us.
