Retired, married democrat in a purple state (NC). Just trying to figure out this entire mess we’re in. Didn't we get this fixed back in the 60/70's? Anyone concerned about what our grandchildren are going to inherit? Please no DM's, Nazis, Crypto, Magats

Trump's big beautiful bill expands the estate tax exemption yet again. While millions will get kicked off healthcare and lose crucial food assistance, Republicans are enabling the super-rich to pass down their obscene wealth virtually tax free. We must stop this bill.

BREAKING: Over 195,000 British people Just signed a petition asking the Government to cancel Trump’s second state visit to the UK

"The right thing to do is not to cut medicaid" - Sen. Hawley. Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Good News, per Democracy Docket! "SCOTUS declined to take a case from Michigan GOP lawmakers who used the radical independent state legislature theory to challenge two voter-approved pro-voting amendments to the Michigan Constitution. The amendments will remain in effect." www.democracydocket.com

The internet is forever, Ted.

. @slotkin.senate.gov has announced her intended support for legislation that would CUT and FREEZE the wages of farm workers - one of the most underpaid professions in the US. This is just wrong! Call Senator Slotkin TODAY! Urge her to withdraw her support. (202) 759 - 4087

Stolen Valor

Ole Trumpo is still doing the same song and dance, praising the non-outcome of another phone call and blathering on about “trade” with Russia. “They know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of”??? Meaningless drivel!

You get both granny.

The United States has become a cautionary tale. The only bright spot in this tale for U.S. citizens is the rest of the world seems to be learning the lesson. What will it take for a third of this country to finally understand what evil they have done?

And when they've broken everything and made people's lives worse in dozens of different ways, the GOP response is going to be complaining that the government is broken and we need to try New Things instead. No, it was working. They broke it. Don't let them weasel out of responsibility.

For decades, there had been whispers of a vast trove of 20th-century guitars, in private hands, somewhere in the tri-state area. Now, for the first time, what is considered the world’s finest collection of vintage guitars will be showcased publicly.

It's getting more unbelievable by the hour. I still think he wants a riot so martial law comes into play

Always follow the money...just take a look at the grifting going on today and follow the money. I hope this is the among the first things to change after the midterms. When is enough enough?

In his words and leadership I find great hope.

I always thought Eric was the dumber one but I’m starting to doubt that.

Anyone see any posts from our Christian and caring president about any of the deaths caused by the recent storms and tornadoes? Yeah, me neither.

Police are reselling their SIG Sauer P320 pistols — alleged in multiple lawsuits to fire without the trigger being pulled — to the public. The latest from our friends at the @thetrace.org:

We know more about Biden's prostate than we do about what Trump gave the Qataris in exchange for that $400 million bribe.
