Because they’re not serious about it, and anyone who thinks they were is naive at best and a compete sucker at worst.

Instead of Canada becoming the 51st state, the US should consider becoming an 11th province. Americans would get universal healthcare, parental leave, sensible gun control and fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

For the next four years…

I don't care what TIME says. MY Person of the Year is Kamala Harris. TIME got it wrong. So did America.

Democratic House Rep. Rosa DeLauro on school gun violence: "Our children are non-partisan. Their lives are non-partisan. Saving their lives is non-partisan." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So f’ing dunb

It's not about celebrating murder. It's not about the absence of societal decency or morality. It's about loss of faith. People are losing faith in the rule of law. In its ability to hold the rich and powerful accountable. Keep gaslighting them at your own peril.

To all the people upset about Luigi Mangione being made into a folk hero. Now you know how we felt when you made Kyle Rittenhouse into a hero.

Homeboy stopped the wrong lady (H/T @agirlhasnopres.bsky.social )

Guns are the leading cause of death of children and teens in the United States. I wish the establishment cared as much about their lives as they do CEOs.

Alright, who made this? 😂🤣

Now do Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard & Kash Patel.

BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, more than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services. It's the first time in history that Nobel laureates have come together to oppose a Cabinet choice.

All I want for Christmas is TERM LIMITS for members of Congress and the Supreme Court. 🎄

FACT: The United States is the only developed country in the world without universal health coverage for all of its citizens - and that's absolutely shameful, especially for the most wealthy nation on the planet. #HealthCareForAll

BREAKING: Trump says he will try to KILL birthright citizenship Trump’s plan: - He wants to deport LEGAL immigrants - He wants to deport naturalized citizens - He wants to deport natural born US citizens too It’s ethnic cleansing by forcible removal — and it’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Hmmmm…. They have something in common.

If you think they won’t come after social security, Medicare, Medicaid, or veterans’ benefits, remember how confident you were that they wouldn’t come after Roe v. Wade.

This!!

Exactly

gotDAMN

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Can’t say I’m surprised. Or sorry.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight. The class wars.

Direct government healthcare for all would be even cheaper because we wouldn't have to pay private third parties to adjudicate claims.

After I moved to Canada a couple of years ago I realized that I was no longer constantly running a massive stress routine in the background of my mind worrying about health care and guns. It was weirdly noticeable only when it stopped.

This goes one of two ways: our democracy sinks beneath the ocean permanently (80%) or the backlash against billionaires is shocking in its size, scope and fury (20%) The latter would take people realizing that a very small group of people are destroying Earth, but it's not as fun as owning the libs

There are 11 billionaires who live in Washington, DC. There are 12 billionaires among Trump and his nominees — and counting.

Trump has not APPOINTED anyone. He has NOMINATED them. Presidents do not have the power to appoint cabinet officials or judges — only to nominate them and send them to the Senate for confirmation or rejection. The words MATTER. Don’t give Trump power he doesn’t have.

If you wanna bring prayer in school but not free lunch, you gotta stop pretending this is about Jesus - he would've fed the kids.

No, Chip. We haven’t.

The ACLU gets *zero* funding from the government. A bit disconcerting that the fellow tasked with reducing government funding doesn't know that.

Nearly every single Republican voted against releasing the Matt Gaetz ethics report. Remember this the next time they pretend to care about protecting minors.

This is an oligarchy. The founders never intended people to have this much power… EVER Stop the oligarchy

Senator Sherrod Brown FIGHTING for people's RIGHT to Social Security to his last moment in Congress. That's a CHAMPION.

I think it's cool he has his son with him but let's be clear: if a woman, especially a Democratic woman, especially a Democratic woman ofd color, did this, in Congress, they'd immediately be judged for it.

TODAY’S UNREQUESTED ADVICE …is it good advice? did you like it? Give it a 💙and please RP😘😘

To avoid disappointment, take people exactly as they are, instead of idealizing about what you wish they would be.

Life is fleeting; let go of grudges, forgive freely, trust wisely, love deeply, laugh unapologetically, and always chase what brings you joy.

This doctor’s letter to United Heathcare for denying nausea medication to a child on chemotherapy.

Healthcare should be free for all! As Jesus intended.
