At least it’s not just kids cancer research Republicans are trying to cut. It’s also $215T worth of cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, veterans benefits & nutritional assistance. All while adding $5T more to our debt so billionaires can make more billions. Is America great again yet? Did I miss the memo?

Nondisclosure agreement by victim of alleged Hegseth assault can't prevent truthful answers to questions from the FBI--it has to yield. So any professional background report will include it and Hegseth's statements, which if false would be crimes. www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

Today the great divide is not between left and right. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. Let me explain.

For crying out loud. NO. His role is to represent the interests of your constituents and district. It’s MIGHTY clear in the Constitution that he swore to protect. The President isn’t a CEO and our government isn’t a business. It’s supposed to serve US—the public.

No women will lead a House committee for the first time in two decades. No people of color either. Exactly how does this make America great again?

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm RFK Jr. The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice. But Kennedy is a threat they could not ignore, one said. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/h...

The success of our democracy rests on an effective opposition movement. We all must play a part in offering additional ideas and approaches and not being afraid to take risks. I plan to be a part of that effort. I hope you will too. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...

It looks like we’re going to have some great news as 2024 ends. Because Democrats passed the first gun bill in 30 years, gun violence has been decreasing every year since 2022!! 2024 has followed that trend. Thousands of lives have been saved, and we’ve had fewer mass shootings.

"The future of collective bargaining in Wisconsin now depends on the future of the state supreme court, just as unwinding the gerrymander did. That’s precisely why the multipronged, incremental approach that Wikler and other Dems have undertaken is so effective."

Discussing blanket pardons draws us off of the real issue, the concern that Trump will pervert the criminal justice system & use DOJ as a political tool, which is forcing the Biden administration into these considerations. Don't forget why we're here.
