It's not just Russia, and the sooner US democratic voters accept that, the sooner they'll be able to regain control of the democratic party and remove foreign influence from Israel and other states that enable fascism and protect Trump. Stop being doormats.

We do not have to tariff our economy into oblivion to get good-paying manufacturing jobs here in America. We can invest in things like national high-speed rail and diversifying our energy sector to create jobs in every state while allowing us to compete with other nations.

The ruling class wants the working class to argue over which party is better for the people. The reality? Working class people have been left behind by both parties. We don’t have to accept high costs and low wages. We can have a better America.

I’m curious about how many “centrists” who STILL continue to blame progressives for focusing on fringe identity issues at the expense of so-called kitchen table issues will admit that’s exactly what Trump’s been doing by attacking “DEI” while throwing the economy and government into chaos.

Every time I get an email from James Carville asking for more money for the Democratic Party, I remind myself that Chuck Schumer still hasn’t stepped aside. So no.

National security ain’t supposed to be a family affair, but apparently Pete Hegseth missed that memo. Leaking classified military plans—TWICE—the second time on a personal Signal chat to friends and family? That man has no business being Defense Secretary. He’s a threat, not a leader.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

. Korea’s parliament vowed to impeach their president every single week until his party stopped covering for him or he resigned in disgrace. No other business got done. Meanwhile in America, we’re just…vibing through the collapse. 🥴 .

If you pay attention: everything they say they don’t like for Black people: affirmative action, diversity hires, quotas, identity politics, ideological litmus tests, they are trying to mandate and enforce for white people.

Absolutely terrifying. “Legal experts agree that sending American citizens to prison in El Salvador would be flagrantly illegal under both U.S. and international law — and that the idea itself is shockingly authoritarian, with few parallels in our nation’s history.”

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

There is a way that this could be — and in fact should be— framed where this is not about political victories but human rights, the rule of law and what is just in America. When will we learn to stop treating democratic crises as mere horse race politics?
