I'm a doctor and a dad. I rebuilt Detroit's health department, led Wayne County's Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services. We put glasses on kids, took on corporate polluters, eliminated medical debt. It just shouldn't be this hard to get by in the richest country in the world.

This is such a stupid thing to say. Because if it were true, we wouldn't need a Constitution and Bill of Rights written by humans. And every country would have had the same Constitution and Bill of Rights from the beginning of time.

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

He and his larvae need to be investigated 100 ways from Sunday, and most of his wealth needs to be disgorged to pay to repair all of the damages that he's caused. Fuck the opinion of SCOTUS.

Trump may be gaming taxes for personal gain: he claims deductions on golf-course development rights, yet keeps the clubs. Forbes says easements may shelter $1B+; a new write-off could reach $825M. He sued the IRS as president and got a settlement limiting IRS scrutiny. www.forbes.com/sites/danale...

"She was 11- and 12-years-old, and to think that that's somehow a talking point—shame on Vivek,” Stearns continues. “The contempt he has for Amy is the contempt he has for Ohio. He's not fit to lead." If Trainwreck Rama-swampy wins, then all hope for Ohio is lost.

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks look at the GOP Midterms plan to win hearts and minds… lol With the Midterms advancing apace, The Repubs find the worst to embrace. With no message to sell, There’s one thing they do well: Serve chicanery, lies, and disgrace. time.com/article/2026...

Let's hope that he has a massive, fatal stroke or coronary in office before he signs those pardons and Vance decides that giving them all pardons would hurt his chances in his future presidential runs.

"Certainly I'd be allowed to" -- Trump leaves the door open to pardoning a wide swath of administration officials

Unless they cancel him at the ballot box, they're still guilty of platforming him. Any business that had him scheduled as a campaign stop needs to be punished. You fucking knew who he was.

Venues Start Canceling on Vivek Ramaswamy Over His Disgusting Ad: ‘People Don’t Want Him There’ Businesses have begun pulling out of Vivek Ramaswamy’s bus tour with other GOP candidates. ‘It’s that damn ad,’ a top Ohio Republican tells Zeteo.

The Republican nightmare is accountability. And it can't come soon enough. Impeachments & convictions may be off the board in most cases (we won't have 60 Senate votes). But Congressional investigations may gather evidence of state crimes that can be handed over to Dem state AGs for prosecution.

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Israel, Russia, and the 1% are all working to destroy our democracy.

We must wake up & realize that Israel has been planning 4 a long time with its puppets e.g. Trump to increase corruption, expand its control over the U.S. & strip Americans of their freedom of speech & voting. This is happening gradually, using the "boiling frog" method. The solution is in my pinned
