I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic And what's more leftist than that

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

The moment we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down one agency – we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down anything.

Trump's federal funding freeze has stopped the hiring of thousands of essential, seasonal firefighters. Yes. You read that right. I'm demanding answers from the Trump administration ASAP. They must reverse this freeze.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Sometimes I think no one on Earth hates Trump as much as I do. Like, words can’t even begin to describe the depth of my loathing or how much joy it would bring me if the worst possible things happened to him. But then I log onto Bluesky and realize, oh, I’m definitely not alone in this.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Marco Rubio is visiting Panama this weekend to try to annex the Panama Canal. Panama is currently bracing for an American invasion and is warning there could be mass casualties. The U.S. is acting like Russia when it invaded Ukraine—and is making the world less safe in the process.

Something people may not realize: a lot of the paper used to print books in the US are from China. In fact, a lot of the books are PRINTED in China, esp the ones from big publishers. Expect the price of paper books to really hike soon. If you want paper copies of your favorite books, get them now.

Elon Musk keeps talking about saving taxpayers a few billion and government efficiency but the simplest and most efficient way for the government to recoup hundreds of billions all at once is to just take it from Elon Musk.

Martha Dumptruck is a huge softie who adores being stroked, but what she really likes is to stand about 30cm further than you can comfortably reach from wherever you’re sitting, then whine until you move closer to stroke her. She will not move. You must work for her love

The only reasonable thing Canada and Mexico can do is RESIST The attacks on our friends are clearly designed to weaken the US and it's alliances. The impacts on our economies will be devastating. We're calling on the US Congress to impeach that madman and fast.

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

I think countries around the world should levy tariffs specifically on Tesla in response to US tariffs, as well as banning Twitter as a national security threat driving a wedge between our co-dictators may be the most effective thing they can do

Nobody is paying attention to things like this because the CDC no longer communicates. The current occupant of the White House broke government. He broke the ability to keep America safe. This is spreading, and this administration plans to pretend it doesn't exist. 828newsnow.com/news/228822-...

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and offer them to small to medium size businesses. Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations . Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ? Thoughts ?
