ICE didn’t just kill Wael, they ensured his last months were full of suffering. He knew he would die without his father. His father was the person who made him feel safe. Safety is a rare feeling when you’re disabled. It’s everything. They didn’t even get to say goodbye.

Chuck Schumer is going to introduce a non-binding resolution requesting that federal agents wipe their feet on the doormat before storming into a journalist's home at 2am to arrest them for angering the president.

I had to turn the channel. Watching the Dems sit there in silence as Al Green got kicked out all while holding there little signs. They should all be disruptive and force the SOA to kick them out 1 by 1. Get into Good Trouble you cowards.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are the two leaders of their party now. And they appear to be mainly watching as Trump and Musk mount an all-out blitzkrieg on the government, the rule of law, and democracy. Why are they bringing a teaspoon to a gunfight, asks @davidcorn.bsky.social?

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

If a Dem president was at a car race the day after a major national disaster had 3 states underwater with fatalities, most of the posts on X tonight would be trashing that president. But whether bad or good, Dems politicians don’t seem to like to play that game. But it is effective.

I was led to believe that the two most important issues to American voters were the price of eggs and the risk of dementia in an aging president.

Trump: "Like on tractors that can handle anything from hurricanes to lightning to anything. They use magnets. It's a new theory -- magnets. They're gonna lift the planes up. And it doesn't work."

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Democratic Senators voting to confirm unqualified nominees like Duffy all need to be primaried. Schumer should step aside form leadership. There is no functioning opposition party right now when we need it the most.

I read the other day something I think was smart: "we TOLD you so" is not effective. But "oh my. How terrible. How can he do this? Can we stop him?" is.

I keep getting texts and messages asking me why most Democrats have rolled over and played dead. I’m as baffled as everyone else. They’re not going to gain anything by being quiet or becoming MAGA Lite. All they’re doing is making sure they share the blame when this all goes south.

Anxious Nation Waits For Democratic Party To Do Something, Anything In Face of Republican Assault On Life And Liberty

Democrats in Congress: WHAT IS THE PLAN? Going on Sunday shows and spewing consultant speak isn't going to cut it. Twelve inspectors general fired and there's no sit-in? No filibuster? No direction to voters? And in fact, some of you are actually voting for Trump's agenda?

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience. What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

"The GOP look terrible for committing crimes. The Democrats look terrible for abetting them through complicity or inaction. The media look terrible for ignoring the crimes for decades. The story reveals the US government to be an insular criminal elite over which citizens have little sway."

Remember, despite everything, the Democratic party still absolutely refuses to build its own culture or social media ecosystem. Because they wouldn’t be able to control the messaging. So we will keep losing. Thank you, our intellectual and strategical betters! (as determined by them!)

Biden has an opportunity to cement his reputation in a way he never imagined: Not by being a great leader, but by bringing down an Evil one. Unleash Dark Brandon, there is no obligation to play by the rules anymore, the other side abandoned them years ago.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
