Our media system is a classic example of “you are what you eat.” It sucks because WE suck. We are politically cultured to love our rights but also to ignore our responsibilities for self government. Our media is a reflection of the unserious people it serves.

My greatest concern is that people in Democratic base will start peeling off because they don't see Democratic leaders fighting against the Trump agenda in ONE LOUD VOICE. Yes they are some great fighters but what is missing is a unified, VISIBLE strategy.

Listen, you may want to save Medicaid, an essential lifeline to 80 million Americans. But verily I say to you, wouldn't you rather give the richest dork ever to live massive tax cuts & billions in subsidies while buyng a bunch of his shitty trucks that even his fans don't want?

As I read HCR this morning I can only say that Trump is a Domestic Enemy and should be impeached for his actions. He has violated his Oath of Office repeatedly. Also there is no harm in shutting down the government since thanks to Muskrat there’s nothing left to shutdown anyway.

Betty Boop — a whitewashed cartoon character, was inspired by Esther Jones, a Black jazz singer affectionately known as "Baby Esther." Her youthful voice and distinctive "Boop-oop-a-doo" scat singing style significantly shaped the cartoon character. 👇🏾📚

Missouri Republicans are planning to overturn the will of the voters. We passed a constitutional amendment to legalize abortion — they plan to pass restrictions effectively re-banning it. I will be in Jeff City this Tuesday to testify against HJR 54. Join me. secure.everyaction.com/zW_Z_RTOL0Ci...

On Ayman's show last night I also stated that since I'm from New Jersey I have to speak bluntly: "Donald Trump is a scumbag." The stakes are too high for timidity. We need to call Trump what he is.

This raises another important question: why are Democrats not screaming from the rooftops about the impact of billionaire fat-cat Musk having access to social security numbers and financial records for everyone in the US will be - the corruption/lawlessness is profound and unprecedented.

It's amazing how badly most congressional Democrats are misreading the mood of their base. On the bright side, if you're ever considered running for Congress, the 2026 Democratic Party primaries are going to be a prime moment for "throw the old guard out" insurgents.

Kaine: "He let Musk force the resignation of the FAA administrator. He disbanded an aviation safety committee... he's got an OMB director who's pushing a hiring freeze & saying 'I want to traumatize the federal workforce'"... he's got an anti-safety agenda..that's why he went the race-baiting route"

We’re 12 days in. After promising to lower prices, Trump’s tariffs will raise prices on gas, avocados, tomatoes, cars and more by at least 25% starting tomorrow. When Canada and Mexico are hit with tariffs, it raises prices for us, not them.

Just renewed my drivers license for RealID. I advise every transgender person, just as I did with passports, to not wait to renew your ID. Get that done now - many states let you do it online, schedule appointments, etc. Don't get caught flat footed if/when Trump turns RealID against us.

As far as I’m concerned not one of Trump’s nominees deserves a single yes vote from Democrats. Trump is already grossly violating the constitition, why are we working with him? FIGHT HIM EVERYTIME.

They’re testing. It wasn’t a “glitch” that turned off Medicaid portals. They’re seeing which things they can delete without a fight. Vets benefits? Abuse shelters? Aid to children? Cancer research? They don’t care who gets hurt. Just what they can get away with. Keep. Fighting. Back.

There are plenty of ways to criticize the left in recent years. Many. But one thing they have right that liberals are now just figuring out is that Democratic Party leadership is completely worthless in dealing with the contemporary crisis of the rise of the right.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Donald Trump is going to be “ending funding for public schools” if they teach CRT or “other divisive measures.” It’s almost like we warned them that Donald Trump was a total fascist who wants to erase and rewrite history.
