Don't laugh, be disturbed. These are deeply uneducated, ignorant people. They don't understand social democracy (what FDR was about and was WILDLY popular with the people), they don't understand democratic socialism, and they don't understand communism. But they are quick to say "yes, gimme that

So if you’re furious as you fill up your tank, just remember Exxon is making a lot of money off you.

Trump: "While oil prices are temporarily high ... the United States oil and gas business is making hundreds of billions of dollars"

Apparently I’m not the only one who finds the Billy Bob Thornton T-Mobile commercials to be especially annoying.

This is such a stupid thing to say. Because if it were true, we wouldn't need a Constitution and Bill of Rights written by humans. And every country would have had the same Constitution and Bill of Rights from the beginning of time.

MINNESOTA: “I don’t think about myself. The youth are the most innocent. Anything you can do to save them is worth it.” ♥️ Endless stories attack the MN Somali-American community— but Ebro Ahmed🦸🏽‍♂️saves a bus 🚌 full of kids and stories mostly leave out that he’s Somali? 🤔

These sick fucks have to be stopped at all costs. That means you, me, WE must go out and vote. There's no sitting this one out, Y'all. Not unless you want more of this nightmare we've been living through. Get it done and push others to do the same.

WITKOFF TO PUTIN (yes, that Putin): “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian — you are a humanitarian also, sir. I salute that. I commend you.” 🤯 we are so cooked. Russia was never a hoax.

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event Supercut:

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

John Roberts’ greatest hits: 2010: votes to let unlimited corporate money flood our elections 2013: guts the Voting Rights Act 2024: hands presidents immunity for official acts That’s not a judge. That’s a demolition crew with a lifetime contract.

It’s funny watching Ken Paxton insult the manliness of James Talarico, while not having the balls to debate him. Likewise, our tough guy, Governor Abbott is too chicken to debate Gina Hinojosa. I’m starting to think they’re just scared little boys, who know their records won’t stand up to scrutiny

El-Sayed: JD Vance called me a little weasel today. No, what you’re talking about is a fucking wolverine.

Do you need a nice little cry? Here you go.

So we fly a pride flag in our front yard in a very conservative neighborhood and it’s been there for the last few years. Someone put this in our mailbox and my goodness…

here's Bruce Blakeman tonight claiming "I never said that I would cut Medicaid in half" -- immediately followed by a clip of him saying on Fox Business in June that "we make sure we cut Medicaid in half"
