A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

There is little meritocracy or competition when it comes to Democratic consultants—they get paid the same regardless of how their candidates perform in the election.

Remember when Trump claimed his cruel deportation agenda would help American workers? He couldn’t be more wrong. Watch.

There is a very disturbing trend being seen in early voting. Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio are reporting difficulties getting the machines to accept democratic votes.The machines change them back to Republican unless the voter persists, pressing several times to get the correct vote to go through

The CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Ineligible votes are exceedingly rare, yet treated as a grave threat to our elections. But when far more ballots from eligible voters get rejected over technicalities, nobody bats an eye. And the imbalance works to Trump's advantage: https://demdock.com/4zfOYLe

California electeds sold the nation down the river on the Paramount merger in pursuit of guaranteed film production jobs, which is the thing they think people care about the most. If you don't want a repeat of that, kick Bass out of City Hall and make sure Newsom doesn't exceed 3% in South Carolina.

You'd think the fact that the son of the President of the "party of family values" 2nd marriage is to the daughter of Epstein's banker and it was funded by a Rusisan oligarch involved in the mass kidnap of Ukrainian kids during a KGB agent's illegal war Would be bigger news..

It doesn't neutralize Republican attacks. So you end up with Republicans making the same attacks, but now your supporters are deflated. And I genuinely don't hard to say, "The party hiding the Epstein Files seems to really want to talk about teenagers' genitalia. I want to talk about the issues."

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

Democrats should be at the microphone right now noting that this is a Hatch Act violation that they'll be pursuing in January. I don't care that the nation's become numb to this shit. It's still illegal and if Democrats should run against it and then act to crush it.
