I've only been more upset than this after Jan 6 and 9/11. Today's treatment of Zelensky is embarrassing and infuriating. I'm truly ashamed of my country today. This is a clear call for Europe (and honestly the rest of the world) to stop dialogs with this Admin. We no longer act in good faith.

3 GOP candidates running for the VA governor nom. They all oppose any LGBTQ rights. Chase and LaRock are hardcore election deniers, LaRock was present on 1/6. Chase is so nuts she was formally censured by the state senate. All 3 are practically the same person. virginiamercury.com/2025/02/27/e...

Do not believe that the coup at USAID is about mismanagement and spending. It is 100% a racist political dog-whistle targeting people of color in what Trump thinks are "shithole countries". This includes Musk's own homeland of South Africa, which receives almost $100 billion in aid.

This article is a stunning self-own by Amy Klobuchar. Your #1 goal is reaching across the aisle? WTF year do you think it is, 1987?! She clearly shows that DNC leadership is out of their depth in the Trump era. The Truth About Democrats, According to Amy Klobuchar www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/o...

I swear to God I'm about to cancel my @nytimes.com subscription. This is journalistic malpractice. Petro got exactly what he was asking for, it was a master class in negotiation.

Hey, I've got an idea. How about you reward people who have kids instead of punishing them? Cash payouts, childcare, leave... This the dumbest problem with the easiest solution. fortune.com/2025/01/19/t...

It's sad that her life was defined by self-pity and a martyr complex. Her bigotry led her to "Christian ministry" through using fear to con money out of followers. She wanted to control other's lives so badly that she lost her own. Anita Bryant Is Dead at 84 www.nytimes.com/2025/01/09/a...

This is going to be shitty for a while and no one wants to see our public servants go unpaid, but we need to make the GOP own their fiscal chaos and allow the shut down to happen. Dems MUST message the hell out of this. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/19/u...
