Speaker Johnson frames reconciliation as debt reduction. It cuts taxes for the wealthy and slashes healthcare for everyone else. That's not debt reduction. That's redistribution. #FundHealthcareNotWars
Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness.
But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.
Hey congress, if Lutnick – or anyone else – is lying, we need to judge for ourselves. A transcript leaves out the vast majority of the communication. Do not treat us like children. It is our right to see and hear any and all such videos.
AOC: Companies like Palantir are mining endlessly the data and privacy of the American people—keeping track of everything that they say and do. And sending it to a militarized government.
Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.
AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do
Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"
If ever there were a time you might want a separate but equal branch of the United States government to run a check on the president, it would be now ….
The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.
It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...
Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”
I came home and opened the news.
russia launched a missile attack on the city of Dnipro and the surrounding region, striking civilian infrastructure and a passenger train.
At least eleven people were killed, and more than 100 were wounded.
I want the world to know.
Hot take: people should be able to call the police to verify if they think they’re being kidnapped by men in masks who won’t identify themselves in unmarked cars without it being a “resisting” crime
The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.
The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.
The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.
This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
"Your timely reminder that Obama negotiated a great deal with Iran (JCPOA) which had halted its nuclear program in its tracks.
Trump ENDED that deal in 2018. Iran then resumed enriching Uranium, and now, here we are, with another preventable war on our hands."

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects.
We the People.
W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.
Murphy: "Everything that's happened in the last 7 days - the fight w/ Musk & now the deployment of the National Guard - is probably also a distraction from the main story, which is that Trump is trying to pass probably the most unpopular piece of legislation he will attempt to move through Congress"
"Trust me, we understand the Russians much better, the mentality of the Russians, than the Americans understand the Russians. I know for sure Putin doesn't want to stop the war."

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes."

One minute in Kyiv.
Where nature meets history.
At the end of the video, you can see the Holodomor Museum.
To remind you, Holodomor is a man-made famine, genocide of the Ukrainian nation in 1932-33.
Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil.
It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men
