Everyone involved in Trump's Paramount shakedown has an obligation not to facilitate potential crimes. As ethics rules and guidelines make clear, that includes the mediator who reportedly proposed that Paramount pay $20 million.

Our economy SHRANK this year. It takes a special kind of stupid to take 12 consecutive quarters of positive economic growth and make it go negative. Under the economic policies of Donald Trump and Republicans, America is now in decline.

The incredibly stupid thing about Dem leadership is time and time again, voters would rather turn out for a "radical" candidate who speaks to what they actually want, yet they still try to run a centrist candidate instead. That's what you want, not the people.

The news media call Zohran Mamdani a "democratic socialist." That's not his party affiliation – that's his ideology. So why don't the media focus on the ideology of MAGA Republicans and call them "fascists"?

This bill is not something Americans will just “get over.” But a message to anyone who votes for this — there’s a good chance people WILL get over YOU.

Anyone who has dealt with a pathological liar knows that one of the big tells is that the more they say, "Seriously, believe me, this is totally true," the more likely it is to be giant-sized bullshit.

I will never understand how Democratic leadership can see things like AOC and Bernie's crowds and what happened in NY this week and somehow think "lets do the opposite!" If Dems cared about their constituents, they should actually listen to them.

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs. What the hell are we doing?

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Mitch McConnell told Senate Republicans that Americans concerned about losing Medicaid will “get over it." No one will “get over” losing a loved one because Republicans in Congress failed them.

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

Got my fingers crossed that Iran is authoritarian enough to convince their people that their nuclear program was not harmed and that a limited bunch of intercepted missiles shot at a US base was a hugely successful counter-attack.
