Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them theonion.com/democra...

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

“This is very much connected to the rise of authoritarianism that we’ve seen across the country,” said the executive director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center. “They can’t win fairly, so they’re trying to rewrite the rules to get their way.” By @jeremykohler.bsky.social

Come on, people. Have you no decency? Whose idea was it to glitter bomb ICE? ☠️ 😂

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

To every Democrat in office: This is your moment. The country doesn’t need more speeches. It needs a legal, relentless strategy, and the kind of courage we honor on Memorial Day. Deliver it—or step aside. The clock is ticking. (Read my short letter to you, below.) www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Here you go. @everyone #resist This is the precedent to fight back against ANYONE failing to unmask, provide ID, and show a warrant. These arrests, this news article, IS the reasonable doubt that kidnappers are law enforcement. DEFEND YOUR COMMUNITY!! IT IS YOUR LEGAL RIGHT TO DEFEND!

Tolkien’s palantir fell under the control of Sauron. Peter Thiel’s Palantir is falling under the control of Trump. How this story ends is up to all of us. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/palantir-the-worst-of-the-corporate

“Surveillance pricing,” or as it’s sometimes called, “personalized pricing,” is another way for corporations to pull one over on you. Here to explain how it works (and what we can do about it) is former FTC chair Lina Khan. https://youtu.be/-cbtUYshYM8?si=GGq_tBcBaIR3_Wby

If you’re not outraged by this, you really should be.

Donald Trump bombed Iran tonight, not because they are about to have nuclear weapons (they are not), but because he needed a distraction from his tanking poll numbers and his deeply unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill." He doesn't care who gets killed, Iranians or Americans, to help HIM.

Here's the truth about tax cuts for the rich. They explode the federal debt, fuel giant profits at the biggest firms and financial institutions, and stoke a surge in billionaire wealth but do nothing for average working people.  Nothing trickles down.

ABC’s Jay O’Brien is reporting that republicans in Congress were briefed ahead of the strikes, but that democrats were not briefed until after the attack was underway.

Not “ICE” changing license plates in a back lot. They wouldn’t do that, would they? Maybe the authorities should look into this.

A president bombing a foreign country without congressional approval is ILLEGAL.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

NEW VIDEO: Last Tuesday, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander was manhandled and arrested by ICE officials while serving as an advocate in immigration court. Comptroller Lander joined me to discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbY3...

Netanyahu is Trump of Israel. He'd been indicted for crimes & was removing power from the judiciary. Mossad is the best intelligence agency in the world. They knew of the Hamas invasion but let it happen so they could invade & wipe out Gaza & let Bibi change from a criminal to an Israeli hero.

The War Powers Act allows POTUS to use military force in 3 very specific situations: a declared war, after an authorization from Congress or imminent attack. The Iran bombing meets none of those. This blatant disregard for the law has to be an impeachable offense!

Tow truck drivers in LA are stalking ICE convoys so they can tow away all the unmarked ICE vehicles that get parked incorrectly.

By disregarding his own intelligence advisors that Iran was *not* about to have nuclear weapons, Donald Trump has, without any justification whatsoever, provoked Iran to retaliate against American troops in the Middle East and American civilians at home. He is a irresponsible, simpleminded idiot.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
