A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

Loser Mike Johnson hopes we forgot about extending ACA tax credits while he was on Christmas vacation. Let’s make it very clear how wrong he is:

It's always fascinating to me that the media assumes everyone buys into the blond, blue-eyed ideal of beauty. I know many, many people who do not believe KL is beautiful, and therefore don't hate her for that reason. *If* they hate her it's because she's a cruel liar.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"
