100% Agree. These are Dem propagandists and gaslighters. These same people telling you Biden was fine until they couldn't hide it. Telling you Kamala could win when internal polling showed she had little to no chance. They're just in on the grift. Where do you think the Dems spent $1.5 Billion?

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

"Donald Trump's personal fortune has increased by FOUR BILLION DOLLARS since his second term. This is more than the total net worth of every single president who served before him (45 Presidents). Trump is using the presidency to plunder the American people's money." Rep Jaime Raskin, MSNOW

This just be the best representation of the corruption happening in the Oval Office right now.

Everyone gets richer after the White House—time, access, opportunity. But one didn’t wait. Same office. Different timeline. Skip the politics. Look at the pattern.

Meanwhile, both parties are still funding a genocide.

NEW: 153 House Democrats voted with the Republican majority to pass the Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026 which includes an additional $3.3 BILLION in aid to Israel.

The U.S. dollar is on track for one of its worst annual performances in more than half a century in 2025, having lost roughly 10% of its value against of major currencies as of late December, a decline not seen on this scale since the early 1970s when the currency’s gold backing was abandoned.

So the fine folks (bots?) over at X can go F themselves. Apparently they just decide that content/replies they don't approve of will just get you shadow-banned. So much for "Free Speech"

For the “war = offense + defense” crowd…the U.S. dropped “War Dept” in 1947 because it carried the wrong signal to citizens and the world. Calling it “Defense” projected restraint in a nuclear age. Switching back now isn’t semantics, it’s a deliberate rebrand toward aggression.

This is what manufacturing consent looks like in 2025. Elite media is asking you to believe that Democrats literally losing means they're winning, and elite media is also asking you to believe a Democrat who is actually winning is too risky.

Last week, the IPC, the world's top food-crisis authority, made it official: famine is occurring in Gaza. And still, nothing changed. This is the most widely reported, predictable, avoidable, and intentional famine in living memory.

American taxpayers spent $6 billion to develop Ozempic's key ingredient & yet now a foreign corporation gets to use our patent laws to charge Americans the world's highest prices for that drug that we already paid for. What stage of capitalism is this? www.levernews.com/youve-alread...

Sorry I don't engage much on Bluesky. In one regard it's nice not to be in such a toxic Hellscape as X, on the other hand this place feels overly sanitized and my feed is getting co-opted by Dem Establishment stooges. Michigan needs Ranked-Choice Voting to pass so that we get better representation

8 years ago, a billionaire Trump donor said his “dream” is to have private equity access Americans’ 401k savings. Today, Trump is reportedly signing an executive order to make his donor’s dream come true. Your 401k will now be private equity’s bailout. www.levernews.com/your-401-k-i...

Okay Michigan. I know Senator Slotkin was too busy trying to fix her image by going on the Colbert Show instead of showing up to vote on the bill (She would never vote against it anyway) So where the heck was Senator Gary Peters? Was he too afraid of AIPAC repercussions to attend and vote? Coward

Trump out there praising our US Military while also actively cutting funding to the VA is entirely on brand for Trump and Republicans. I've said it before and will say it again. There hasn't been a decent Rep President since Eisenhower. It's also the last time they presided over a balanced budget.

It's hard to focus on Israel's airstrikes in Lebanon due to Israel's invasion of Syria, which is hard to focus on due to Israel's atrocities in the West Bank, which are hard to focus on due to Israel's genocide in Gaza, which is hard to focus on due to Israel's war on Iran.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Pam Bondi lobbied for Qatar & a private prison company, got paid $115K/month, then failed to disclose it during her AG confirmation. Now she’s gutted foreign lobbying enforcement under FARA and signed off on $400m planes. The corruption isn’t even subtle anymore.

The Dem machine is worried about a messy Primary (one in which they cannot control the outcome). Haley Stevens is expected to announce her bid soon heavily backed by AIPAC. Mallory McMorrow, who has already declared, upset Establishment Dems by vowing not to support Schumer as leader of the party.

Abdul El-Sayed is expected to run. I like him and his policies, but wish he would run for Governor instead. My concern is that in order to beat Haley Stevens, McMorrow and El-Sayed will end up splitting the Progressive voters while Stevens runs past them with that mountain of AIPAC funding.

Commentary: "Trump, a man who dodged the draft with phony bone spurs, and Hegseth, who has spent his career exploiting veterans for personal and political gain, have done more to dishonor military service than any foreign adversary’s propaganda ever could."
