Democrats allowed Donald Trump to keep himself out of prison, run again, and get elected again, despite mountains of unethical, corrupt, and even illegal behavior. Youβre not with us at all. Not even a little.
I wonβt share RFK Jr.βs lies about autism. Itβs disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nationβs greatness. To every kid with autism, Iβm in this fight all the way for you.
100%. And it can definitely be argued that 9/11 was what began American authoritarianism. It was that singular event that led to so much power being granted to the Executive Branch by Congress.
there is no fact-based evaluation that does not hold George W. Bush and Barack Obama partly responsible for where we are with Trump. For decades we let these guys extend the power of the executive and no one with power ever pushed back. We are reaping those consequences now.

Then reform the fraud and abuse. Thereβs a lot of fraud and abuse in the banking system too. How do we address that? We certainly donβt abolish it. Bottom line: If youβre rich and capitalist you get the benefit of the doubt. If youβre poor, we slash your shit.
REPORTER: Can you say unequivocally that down the line, there won't be cuts to Medicaid programs? MIKE JOHNSON: Medicaid is hugely problematic because it has a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse.
The media approaching the WH as hostile could backfire though. It would lead to more of them being ousted, giving the WH more potential to spread outright propaganda. Would also confirm for Trump supporters that the left is βout to get him.β
Just an amazing lack on introspection. You don't reach this point without years of acquiescence. And even now, there are no plans to approach the administration as hostile.
We are seeing the results of sensationalism and misinformation play out in real time and legacy media still canβt stop feeding it. American Capitalism has no values other than making money.
The headline that 21 DOGE staffers have resigned is a little misleading. These were employees of the United States Digital Service, which existed pre-administration and was absorbed into Muskβs team. These arenβt the young idiots; these are actual civil servants.
Then with all due respect, thereβs other ways we need to attack this problem, right? I am progressive as hell but that means ALL people get an equal opportunity. Filling quotas has never felt like a great solution to that problem. I agree 100% in continuing to reform things in a more effective way.

At a certain point they should perhaps be more concerned about the collapse of their own country or maybe being jailed for treason down the road. Right?
I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesnβt excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

Let's not beat around the bush. Many men, both in our government and in the general population, do secretly seem to support much of what's going on. They have gone hard right in response to identity politics. It's not about standing up to Trump, I think many of them also want to see retribution.
Once again we find a woman standing up bravely to Trump when men crumble.
