The OK senator interviewed on Meet the Press this morning said Biden "appeased" Putin. So sending billions of dollars to help Ukraine is "appeasement," but Trump wanting to give land to Russia is "strength." His bowing to Trump is disgusting.

It's sad that the same people who argue against removing Confederate monuments supposedly because they care about history, either ignore or don't know the history of the 1930's Germany and how it can be repeated here.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the United States. It is also laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. And the oligarchy is cheering them on. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/paying-off-putin

The problem with Social Security isn't "fraud" like some might have you believe.  The problem with Social Security is that as the rich have gotten richer, more of their income has escaped the cap on the SS payroll tax. We can fix this by scrapping the cap.

📌I see our media has moved on from Trump pardoning 1,500+ violent criminals who helped him attack our country, so that they can standby and do it again. 📌This puts the lie to GOP's "law & order" and "love of country" crap, and is proof they WILL DO ANYTHING to hold power. 📌It's a HUGE story.

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.
