We don’t want flying cars or folding iPhones or data centers. We want an end to mass shootings, healthcare, free and fair elections, and our planet and people to be cared for.

Pence is 1000% right

“America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine…Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine.” — Mike Pence I briefed him as Vice President. He’s right. Lifting sanctions doesn’t buy peace. It funds the war. Slava Ukraini.

Alarming — 🇺🇸 Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social denied access to military facilities in the Middle East: “Unprecedented. Hegseth is trying to cover up the extent of the damage from a war spiraling out of control. This should be unacceptable to everybody, Republican or Democrat.”

Someone recently shared with me a comment from their pastor. The pastor asked, "What if Trump was sent by God? What if he was sent to test the American people, especially Christians?" I've been thinking about that a lot lately.

Last night, I made a Tik Tok quoting what our President said he wanted to happen to Los Angeles and San Diego. And my video got removed because it “violated community guidelines”. Let me repeat. My video got removed because I quoted what the President said.

This is the part that should stop everyone cold. Trump: “Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.” THE CROWD APPLAUDED. Americans cheering while a so called “president” talks about American cities being attacked by Iran. #USDemocracy abc7.com/story/trump-...

abc7.comTrump suggests letting Iran ‘take out’ Los Angeles and San Diego at campaign event"They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles...," Trump said about the Iran war. "This is a very small price to pay, and it's going to be over with very soon."

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

The most bizarre thing about this idiotic, embarrassing line of questioning by Eric Schmitt is that it’s totally irrelevant Even if Jack Smith went to a basketball game in Atlanta-he didn’t-there isn’t even a scintilla of proof that he met, much less conspired with Fani Willis 35 days

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

🤡 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:

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

This really was a huge, disgraceful moment for our country. Trump walked Xi past the presidential portrait display in the West Wing colonnade and said, “Trump, and then Trump, and this is the autopen… Biden. It’s Biden.” Xi can be heard laughing in the video.

Michele Tafoya: Republican US Senate Candidate, political opportunist, and liar.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

CNN pulled a clip of Michele Tafoya recently saying "I've never said I was embarrassed to be from Minnesota" and then displays an unearthed and deleted tweet of her saying "I am embarrassed to be from Minnesota" 🥴

Too many people online seem to conflate left politics with being obnoxious and scathing and Mamdani is such a model for combining a principled ideological vision with civility and grace. You shake hands, you act like a grown up even whether others aren’t. You show up.

You know who really did show up? Canadian police officers, firefighters, and medical personnel came to NYC, on and off duty, traveling independently or in groups to stand with Americans and help shoulder the enormous burden of recovery and cleanup at Ground Zero. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Huge corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Uber are among the top employers of SNAP and Medicaid recipients. Meanwhile, their CEOs are raking in multi-million dollar pay packages. How is this not a bigger scandal?
