The Mark Kelly "illegal orders" row is funny. Nothing upsets MAGA more than saying you should follow the law.

White people be like, "my immigrant story is older than your immigrant story" and not see the irony.

Donald Trump has unilaterally decided that one of America's largest media companies must be sold to one of his cronies. Here's why America has a liberal media bias problem.

"When I said the Jews control the weather you said that was antisemitic - that's YOU being toxic." 🤡

Will the Democrats learn? Or do they need to take a punch in the mouth a few more times before they get it? This article in the nyt provides a great overview of the Biden administration's failure to understand the immigration issue. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/u...

The outrage against CA when the TX maps were struck down was always a joke. The supreme court just upheld the maps. Conservatives are actively trying to destroy our democracy. Stop pretending like these are normal times.

Ken Burns' American Revolution was very good, but after finishing it recently I was left disappointed. To me, the revolution wasn't just the war, it was about the idea that all men are created equal. The constitution was created to try and uphold that idea, and the film barely touched on it.

😂

1) Democrats say the military should refuse illegal orders 2) Hegseth issues an illegal order to kill them all 3) Military doesn't refuse illegal order 4) Consequences 5) Hegseth throws the military under the bus Probably should have refused that illegal order huh.

Amazing summary of conservatives and progressives, framed in the context of young and old. By John Wooden. You have to vote. Please. Vote.

Leftists in 2016: "The lesser of two evils is still evil. I'm not voting." Now:

Make Politics Boring Again.

I saw a couple of posts about changing Thanksgiving into a national day of mourning. Couldn't be more on point for the left. Let's take a day of grace and turn it into a day of sorrow, surely that will bring more people to our cause. /s

The idea that we're going to get any kind of truth about the Epstein files out of this admin is kind of a joke. Here's how it will happen: - They'll hide damaging info about Reps - They'll release damaging info about Dems - We'll know it's not everything - Dems will pay the price anyways

"Raising taxes will hurt the economy" is economic orthodoxy, widely used to chastise liberal policy. But the tariffs have shown just how resilient the US economy can be. With the wealth gap so large, the cost of living so high, and the debt out of control, it's time to rethink our tax policy.

Police pursue a vehicle and an accident occurs: national conversation, documentary, political reform. Reality: police call off a chase and the driver kills 2 people anyways. #StopBlamingPoliceForCrime

The last time a party held the presidency for 3 terms was Reagan / HW Bush. It led to a third way conservative Democrat. Imagine if we had elected Clinton in 2016, especially against a clown like Trump. It would have forced a change in Republicans in order to stay relevant. But this is fine too.

We should be perfectly clear: The United States upper class just made backroom deals to protect themselves from the Epstein files. Revolutions often aren't about the system of government, but instead just the people in charge. #ReplaceThemAll

The inability of people to understand statistics and how real images that they see in the media aren't necessarily reflective of reality is a core issue with our modern divide.

Watching Ken Burn's new documentary about the American Revolution tonight. My expectations are high, I hope he can deliver another fantastic piece. 🇺🇸

It is somewhat disheartening to me that character flaws are what is going to bring Trump down. To me, Trump's assault on our democracy is more directly offensive to our system of government. The Republican party's failure to impeach Trump after he tried to overturn an election is pathetic.

Perspective matters.

Can we get conservatives to define a line which is too far? Like, any line, somewhere, which they'll hold. A photo of Trump with naked underage girls - can we agree on that? I just don't know where the line is.

Evidence: Donald Trump rapes children. Media: Why did Democrats make a deal to open the government with someone who rapes children? Stop attacking Democrats you small brained idiots.

Blame Republicans for Republican policies.

Once again we're about to see Democrats get blamed for Republican policy. 1️⃣ Republicans gut healthcare funding 2️⃣ Democrats use the shutdown to demand more healthcare subsidies 3️⃣ A handful of Democratic senators break ranks 4️⃣ Democrats get blamed because they didn't fight hard enough 🙃

I don't get it. They're fighting in court to take away food stamps? Impeachable offense #1017.

Most people here probably haven't heard this, but conservative media ran with the following narrative in 2020: "Kamala Harris wants the 2020 BLM riots to continue" The only problem? She said the "protests" should continue, no mention of the word "riot". Check out the clip, and check the comments.

How it started: don't threaten me with the supreme court! How it's going:

In an alternate reality, I would like to let Republican policies go through unchecked to let the people feel the effects in full. Instead, Democrats keep blunting the worst of it and people keep not realizing what they voted for.

The base idea of undocumented non-citizens voting is absurd. Imagine you're living your life in the shadows, avoiding anywhere where the state needs to identify you. Except you go down to the polling station to... cast a vote? I'm all about voting, but the risk reward there is way out of balance.

nope they wouldn't... give it up fool you've been living in a socialist country since the first public road was paved and the first public school was opened

With all this AI slop and misinformation, we need a way to quickly get accurate news stories. We should have trained people who study the issues, verify information, and prioritize important stories for us. What should we call this profession? Maybe a journal keeper?

Congrats to Mamdani and the other Democratic victories last night. May we all wish the Mamdani administration the best of luck in tackling the issues of the city of New York. Because he is a self described socialist, the success or failure of his admin will be used to describe Democrats at large.

Dick Cheney was a dick.

Do you think they talk about deporting Latinos while Rubio is in the room or nah?

It is hard to describe the stupidity of this era, but this post comes pretty close. We're throwing away everything we've achieved over the last 80 years because the left is mad about capitalism and the right is mad about immigrants? Utterly foolish.

Conservatives: the government shouldn't exist, you're on your own. Also conservatives: trust us, we'll come up with a healthcare plan that works for everyone.

First black president First female candidate White supremacist president Return to normal president Black female candidate White supremacist president Race and gender are the lens through which we will remember this era.

Read an article about Ken Burns' American Revolution doc. Hilarious shade he throws here: And the film doesn’t demonize loyalists, who were sometimes subjected to horrific retribution. “They weren’t bad people,” Burns said. “They were just what we would call conservatives.” 😂 😂 😂

Reagan's "a time for choosing" speech seems highly relevant now. Canada is airing Reagan's words, and the Republican party under Trump adores Reagan.Tariffs can't be both good and bad. Sounds like it is a time for choosing. Reagan or Trump.

Democrats under Biden made the same mistake Republicans did in 2016. They thought the people would bail them out. Of the establishment failures to contain Trump, I still think Republican senators voting to acquit the 2021 impeachment is worse than the Democratic DOJ under Biden failing to convict.

Right wingers are running with the story that Mamdani is a Muslim rather than that he is a socialist. Quite telling. They've attacked socialism for decades, but the moment a Muslim steps forward it takes priority. To them, race and religion are more important than ideology.

What a pair of stories. A true let them eat cake moment.

I'm torn about the WH East Wing renovation. On the one hand, the WH is probably the most iconic US structure, and for Trump to unilaterally decide to renovate it is out of order. On the other hand renovation is not destruction, and this sounds like an overall improvement from what it was before.

"I happen to like the president" of Argentina. One of the more absurd elements of this time is just how open and obvious it is. "I like the guy so I gave him 40 billion dollars". No strategic messaging, no polling or planning, just do whatever you want and let the lawyers figure it out after.

No, I'm not saying everyone involved in this administration should be hanged from the gallows. I have faith in our legal system and sentencing is an important part of the process. Tick tock. ⏰
