It is a hell of a lot easier to do a general strike and shut a country down if you have guaranteed health care whether or not you have a job or can afford it. I think one reason they deny Medicare for All so much is that the GOP knows fear of loss of health care keeps people from rising up.

Even as MO AG, he never let facts get in the way of whatever he was pulling out of his ass.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

It really isn’t that difficult to stand up for decency and compassion and frame it in a way that makes it vital to our future.

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

Hello, TruBluCru! It has been a surreal week. Without going into any details, Karen has been dealing with an unexpected family health emergency that requires her care, therefore, which is why you haven’t seen any “daily” episodes this week. She & Anita are hoping to return on Monday.🙏🙌💙☀️Stay tuned…

What comes across from this article is that Fetterman is just a dick. He's an unapologetic dick and a simpleton who only cares about Israel and his appearances on Fox "news" where he can gleefully shit on Democrats while claiming he is one.

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com

Behind closed doors, John Fetterman dodges constituents, alienates fellow Democrats and shows little interest in the work of a senator.

The only meeting Hakeem Jeffries should be having with Jared Kushner is to tell him he’ll be subpoenaed by the House for a corruption investigation on day one of Democratic control of the House. This is just pathetic stuff from the House Dem leader. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/u...

Glad my posts slamming Hakeem Jeffries for meeting with Jared Kushner were included in the article. Jeffries must explain why met with Kushner and were any deals made to protect Trump and Kushner when Dems take control of House?! www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

At this point, I think it’s fair to say that if you work for ICE, you are guilty of committing atrocities or covering them up.

A lawsuit alleges that ICE beat a man, causing his existing disabilities to worsen and get new ones. Once he was in ICE detention, the lawsuit says, he was mocked by detention staff and didn't regularly get his medication. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
