It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I'm really trying not to doom but the military is being nakedly partisan here and its a total deterioration of their oaths and public trust. Like how does a Democratic president trust the neutrality of the military after this? Unconscionable.

My vote in the 2028 Dem primary has one (1) condition and it's consequences for these people

They’re ripping kids out of their parents’ arms—again. In America. In our names. DHS raids don’t just “enforce law”—they shatter families like glass on pavement. A child’s scream isn’t collateral damage. It’s the sound of a democracy losing its soul. This is cruelty by design.

The media considers it deeply inappropriate to accurately describe Republicans and what they believe. On a related note none of you have seen a single news report about OMG GROCERY PRICE SO HIGH since Trump took office.

There is zero proof they're real government agents. Masked faces, no ID or badges, irregular "uniforms." If you want us to believe this, give us some names and faces.

the funniest thing about the “ice agents are human beings with families” line is that there is no evidence to support the claim. oh they’re real people? what are their names? as far as I’m concerned they’re the T-1000 until proven otherwise

Dear journalists. When the US President is openly accused of paedophilia the story is either impeachment or defamation. If not, the story is how words have lost all meaning, truth has lost all value, and journalists are now completely desensitised to lying and corruption.

The way politics works is that Dems pass legislation like the IRA that are explicitly designed to spend more money in red states than blue states, and they get repaid by having the next president illegally seize the money Congress allocated to blue states www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

Personally I think that having some of the most powerful institutions in American life publicly identify themselves as supporters of LGBT equality was (and is) a good thing, and that their retreat from that is quite bad.

The enemy of your enemy isn't necessarily your friend. Sometimes two horrible people hate each other as much as you hate both of them.

With all due respect, my electeds had better be preparing their asses off for 2026 *and* pushing back on the corruption. It is quite literally their job to do both.

It should be noted that the study defines "white" as not having an immigrant parent, which excludes the current (very white) King
