Michigan voters have a clear choice: Vote for the guy who opposed the Iran war from the beginning b/c he knew it would be destructive & counterproductive, or vote for the guy who mindlessly supported Trump's war until it threatened to sink his campaign. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

Netanyahu’s Israel committed genocide in Gaza. If you can’t admit that, then you have NO BUSINESS being the Democratic candidate in 2028.

I've never seen Lindsey Graham so happy. We have finally become the bully he has always wanted us to be.

Vaccines save lives. Trump’s best accomplishment in his first administration was Operation Warp Speed, to develop and distribute the COVID-19 vaccine. Now he has a CDC that doesn’t believe in science. People will die if we continue down this road.

Establishment Dems have more energy to condemn CBS for firing Colbert than for Netanyahu for committing genocide More energy to condemn Mamdani for seeking economic justice than for Cuomo’s 13 credible sexual abuse cases Establishment Dems: grow a spine & actually be an opposition party—for once

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat." Yet, hungry people desperate to reach a legitimate food distribution center are being fired upon and killed. The desperation of hunger is not a crime. This is not defense, it’s a humanitarian failure.

You didn't vote for mass deportations? Great. Show me. Call your congresspeople. Take to the street and carry a sign. Donate to immigrant advocacy groups. At the very least don't ask other people to do the work of redeeming you.

Donold is demanding an investigation into his 39% approval rating. I agree, there's no way it's actually that high.

This is a bad take by the NYT. The reality is that the government depends on universities to conduct high quality research on a wide range of needs and challenges. And it has worked out well for the country in the discoveries, innovations, treatments and cure our universities have produced.

AOC is obviously the leader of the Democratic party. The time between now and when that becomes the reality, will very, very likely be more of the same tired appeasement tactics and sad sop losing.

This morning, I woke up feeling disconnected and depressed. When I turned on the TV there was a message on the screen that said: "You are not automatically enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan". Suddenly, I felt much better.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Did someone just get to ABC? They dropped their coverage of the vaccine denier sponsored measles outbreak in Texas after introducing the report.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

My mentions are filled with people insisting Senate Democrats are powerless. They’re not. They can throw up roadblocks by denying unanimous consent, forcing quorum calls, using holds and filibusters, etc It’s so easy to figure out even a dimwit like Tuberville managed to pull it off.
