In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government. But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd. Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage. Another reason for Medicare for All.

As we confront the reality of violence against unnecessarily domestically deployed armed guard on our streets, resulting in two people shot wounded at least, how many have died while in custody as we round up law abiding victims? No one asked for this deployment, this is on Miller and Trump.

Ummm… so much for the Grandpa Shitzinhizpants claim that crime has been eradicated in DC since the National Guard has been deployed. Yet another real life example of how what his administration does not reflect reality.

Since we’re now going full Nazi in a least 1 Armed services department, does this mean we can go full Nuremberg style Tribunal for crimes against humanity when the serious people take our government back?

S, I guess we have moved on from Health Care access and affordability and outing the Pedo Cabal to now threatening sitting members of Congress with the hang man’s noose. What is it with MAGA and hanging people? Obsessed.

Yesterday’s gambling conspiracy case involving sports athletes and a coach and many others is just another brick in the wall of the corruption of America. It’s relentless. If you follow the law and have decent morals you are a like a unicorn.

Texas back in the lead for the biggest Fuck you award. Whoever is leading the command structure and every Guard member that volunteered for this detail to Illinois will be tried for treason. You are violating your oath. You do not have to follow illegal orders.

ANTIFA is not a formal “organization” let alone a terrorist one. The original and still active domestic terrorists? The KKK. They call themselves different labels now but they haven’t changed in 150 years.

To all the people who since 2016 were quietly whispering to my wife when I was out of the room worried that I was catastrophizing the reality of MAGA, I’d say it’s time for an apology. You didn’t want to believe it, but the fascist authoritarian take over is 90% complete.

At what point does one of the Dems hearing Kennedy’s testimony today, play back his confirmation hearing promise of supporting vaccines? It’s only 7 months old. I’d say he committed perjury. C’mon Dems, do we have to still teach you everything?

Where is the tipping point? When will the Social Media giants and their insistence on allowing bots a platform make them irrelevant? The algorithms then leverage the bot data in creating countless targeted individual user scams. Where is the end?

Putin should be arrested as he steps off the airplane, but no, the criminal in chief will bestow gifts and fanfare. The level of corruption and collusion among this generation of Oligarchs and Dictators is unprecedented.

We are a nation lead by utterly contemptible morons. This is a man who supposedly holds a BA in Political Science who actually has negative understanding of basic economic concepts. That is, his “understanding” actively undermines his constituents’ understanding of good economic policy and action.

Tim Scott: "Our employment? Almost at full employment, 4.1 percent. What else do we need to have this economy on fire? We need lower interest rates."

Just a reminder that the US produces more oil than any other country by a long shot. Our fossil fuel industry, car manufacturers and Federal government would like you to forget about climate science and just buy their gas guzzling cars without consciousness. Climate science is real. Stop the madness
