Hoping that Israel turns away from Netanyahu today and toward a path of peace and human rights for all Isaelis and Palestinians. Perhaps new leadership in Israel and the US Congress can help bring the Iran War to a close.

Ramasmarmy never had any core values but for one; his own ambition. He's just a bag of meat in a suit. Vance and Rubio are the same.

Trump says leakers of military plans should be shot. Question: Is Hegseth going to have himself publicly executed?

Trump violated US law and betrayed Ukraine and our European allies for a shitty diesel deal that won't do fuck all to affect prices at the pump. So much winning...

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations... It’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from."

Hegseth wants to livestream an execution. What a ghoul. The gap between the US and North Korea is shrinking by the day.

Angela Paxton endorsing her unfaithful and corrupt husband is a move to put party first in service of her personal ambition. It has nothing to do with what is best for the country. The humiliation these GOP politicians will endure for power is endless.

The President offering every American a $5000 bribe to vote for GOP candidates is illegal and impeachable. I know it sounds obvious but, why don't we hear anyone in the media saying that? Are they that numb to Trump's criminality? Are we?

Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

This is the video Fox News refused to air. They are complicit. Trump-enabling Republicans want to erase this from history. Continue to retweet and share the truth about January 6th. #NeverForget www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJp0...

NEW from me: "In America, the Law Should be King." Jack Smith’s findings, Trump’s own words, and the evidence behind two federal prosecutions — in plain English. #NeverForget #NoKings #January6th medium.com/armedwithrea...

Senator Kennedy, protecting the insurrectionist President, denigrated Jack Smith's knowledge of the Constitution. He should shut his friggin' mouth. He has no business lecturing anyone about the Constitution.

Even if Senator Schmidt could prove that Smith was in Atlanta for a basketball game, is that enough evidence to call him a "dirtbag?" The only thing worse than a hatchet man is a clumsy one.

AI can't go "rogue." It doesn't have a mind of its own to break rules. It can be sloppily developed and released without guardrails by greedy companies who put profits over safety. We need internationally recognized limits on AI. Please stop writing that "rogue" nonsense. It clouds the discourse.

We are witnessing Trump's end stage mental deterioration in real time. Tired of listening to people in the media pretend something else is going on with him. Conversation should be: He's nuts. What now?

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Joe Manchin, greedy polluter and man who single handedly sent millions of children into poverty, wrote an Op-Ed in the Washington Post. Don't read it. No one should listen to him about anything. He's no moderate. He and his family are wealthy parasites. Have a nice day! Except you, Joe...

Rather than spend our time punching logical holes in the claim that the Trump arch will double as a drone and sniper base, can't we just call it fucking crazy? Maybe we should get a 12 year old with a Lego set to design it. Next project: Convert the Capitol Dome into a missile silo.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
