David Axelrod and David Brooks clutching their pearls because El-Sayed didn’t roll over for a racist is such a perfect example of America’s white guy politics that it would sound made up if you put it in a novel

Maine voters passed an overwhelming ban on foreign money in elections. A federal court struck it down last week — on Supreme Court precedents. Now a Republican Texas state senator is leading the push to overturn Citizens United. This is what a tipping point looks like.

Kavanaugh wrote in Trump v. United States that presidential corruption was no concern because of "the safeguards" of democratic accountability. Trump just posted an image of himself trading stocks at the White House bragging how much money he's made. What safeguards, Brett?

The federal minimum wage has been stuck at a paltry $7.25 an hour since 2009. Guess how much the wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

We're getting closer to the justice we deserve! In recent days, even more members of Congress have committed to investigating Elon Musk and DOGE after their rampage of federal funding cuts, theft and misuse of our personal data, and self-dealing. Let's look at some highlights...

Taylor Farms' parent company has given $2.2M to GOP PACs this election cycle. That includes $1M to Trump's own PAC, just 6 days after the FDA delayed new food tracing requirements last year. Money in politics is sickening.

Alito flew an “Appeal to Heaven” flag linked to Jan 6 outside his home. He refused to recuse from Jan 6 cases. Alito made $2.9M off of oil and gas. And a case is coming up that will decide whether oil companies can be sued for climate damage. He's refusing to recuse again.

There are constant ads on tv for Randy Fine the zionist for florida who got $126,000 from AIPAC and ads for Strada a far right trump ass kisser. I can't peacefully watch TV without getting outraged at the money the Republicans are spending on their boot lickers.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

I looked up how many countries have nationalized healthcare.I was surprised it was over 150. The richest country, the US, says WE CANT AFFORD IT. Here's why; 1. wealthy investors in weapons and oil make billions from war. 2. Heath insurance companies give MILLIONS TO POLITICIANS for elections.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Watch Alito and Thomas. Republicans are foaming at the mouth for another SCOTUS vacancy to lock in a new lifetime appointment before voters can respond in November. We’ve seen this play before with Kavanaugh. No rushed confirmation. Let the people speak.

So why isn't Fox news televising interviews of all the happy people who live near data centers so we can hear what a treat it is to live with the constant noise, lights, increased utility costs and non-existent new jobs?

“We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low-wage job.” —Justice Sotomayor in response to the Roberts Court greenlighting racial profiling.

I'll be willing to buy the desirability of data centers once they locate one in Beverly Hills and one next to Mar-A-Lago.

Funny. Ashley Moody. Every time you send a petition it has to go to her useless self. You get back the same useless form letter that has been coming since her term began. So then you go to her site and pic" opinions and petitions". you are confronted with a list so long I gave up scrolling and quit
