If you're willing to ignore something in one candidate or person that you declared was unacceptable or a "red line" when another candidate or person did it, you don't have principles. You have biases. And what we're finding out that between Planter and Steyer, the left have a LOT of biases.

This is textbook corruption. kffhealthnews.org/health-indus...

Quite literally, this. You're voting for someone to have the power to send you and everyone you love to their death. You're voting for someone to have the power to choose the people who will decide whether you get healthcare or not, at any cost. Policy does not matter in terms of power.

The way Kamala hasn't stopped talking about what we need to do. Them taking away access to voting MEANS that your votes are actually important.🤨 She said to continue to show up and show out voting and you can get results. That's why I'm not listening to any crap said about her. Not one word!

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

This is a KEY point. Look folks, voters chose to pardon Trump in 2024. And in all likelihood, he will never see prison time because of the choices voters made in 2016 and 2024 coupled with the facts that 1) DOJ and FBI will have to be scrapped and rebuilt 2) he's not mentally competent.

Democrats haven't had a "trifecta" since 1970, you absolute potato. The branches of government are: 1) executive 2) legislative 3) judicial Not 1) executive 2) house 3) senate Look, I get it. You fucked around in 2016 and are desperate not to take the blame when we told you the courts matter.

In spring 2021, Biden commissioned a group to examine reforming/expanding the Supreme Court. The results from that commission basically were: "you don't have the votes in either the house or the senate to do so." Which isn't surprising, considering FDR didn't have the votes despite 80% control.

🚨 BREAKING: The Senate parliamentarian struck the GOP provision that would have spent $1 billion in taxpayer money on Trump’s proposed White House ballroom, according to Senate Budget Committee Democrats. The parliamentarian ruled that the provision violated the Byrd Rule.

This is the Make a Wish Administration. Disgraceful.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

Actually Mehdi, they lose because every time Republicans do this exact thing, Republicans defend them. Every time Trump pardons a criminal, Republicans race to his defense, and enablers like you immediately race to explain why it's really the Dems fault because that's what's good for ratings.

TIL

This is such a bad take its almost criminal. Every time Republicans turn to reconciliation, it's because of the filibuster stopping them from passing what they really want. Otherwise, they wouldn't use it. If not for the filibuster, there'd be no LGBTQ+ Medicaid care, no ACA, and a SAVE act.

Bigotry aside, it's December 29th. What's more likely? A) This is their clearance aisle and they're selling their remaining stock from the previous Christmas season. B) The manager deliberately ordered a bunch of only Black Santa merch to piss off this white lady?

Last year, Donald Trump and his lapdog Republicans chose to increase health insurance premiums for millions of Americans on the ACA marketplace. My budget proposal would KEEP $0 monthly plans for low-income Californians to help clean up the financial disaster Trump created.

Basically any candidate for any office whose healthcare plan is anything other than "I will put forth a motion to amend the Constitution to say that "Healthcare is a human right that no citizen can be denied" is lying to get your vote. That's the first step. Anything else dies in SCOTUS.

Huntington Beach is wasting time and taxpayer money defending its illegal NIMBY policies instead of serving its own residents. Enough excuses — every city must follow state law and do its part to build more housing.

You can redraw districts, but you cannot erase the power of the people. This week, I spoke with @justinjpearson.bsky.social about our continued fight for voting rights — even in the face of efforts to silence and divide us.

Your reminder that the actual "rotating villains" are the left wing podcasters who tell you Dems haven't earned your vote while not telling you how much money they make from Republican tax policies or that they owe their entire newfound fame to Trump's chaos. They're not allies.

"But we gave Harris a billion dollars, why couldn't she counter this?" Because you demanded Democrats make enemies of the companies and PACs that run these sort of ads and do this sort of work. Trump probably got 2-3B in free advertising between the mainstream media and algorithm manipulation.

This has "graphics design is my passion" vibes.

The funny thing is that all the polls that they liked to wave around saying that 68% of voters "supported Medicare for All" were actually showing support for a Medicare buyin plan, not Bernie's plan to make corporations richer, unions weaker, and pharmaceutical companies into defense contractors.

Your friendly reminder that NATO is a DEFENSE treaty. Not a WAR treaty. Maybe they need to rename it to the North Atlantic Defense Agreement so this government of LARPers can better understand.

You can stop the noise. Vote for Becerra for Governor today.

It's time to remind everyone that when a certain senator said that you could override the Parliamentian with a simple majority vote - he lied. So that entire tirade towards Sinema and Harris about the minimum wage increase being stripped from the Dem's reconciliation bill ? That was a lie too.

Hakeem Jeffries: Well, the American people absolutely should be deeply concerned. We need a wellness check on this guy. He continues to exhibit signs of decay. Something is really wrong with this guy, which is why I’ve publicly called for a wellness check, an intervention.

Been on this train for a LONG time.

Escalating conflict with Iran is driving up costs for Californians — gas prices, airfare, and energy bills are all climbing as instability in Washington hits family budgets.

Trump and Republicans demand we pay tens of billions for wars nobody asked for and to bankroll ICE to terrorize our communities.

Biden tried to stop his nomination, but a Arizona Democrat named DeConcini broke with the party and caused it to pass the committee.

Here are the facts: People have always had and will always have abortions in all 50 states. Abortion pills are safe, effective, and have been used by millions of people. No court or politician can change either of those realities.

Voters need to stop being such fucking cowards and blaming Demcrats who THEY put into the minority from not being able to stop the damage that Republicans do. Dems aren't responsible here. The feckless, limpwristed voters who decided that voting wasn't worth it deserve everything Trump is doing.

The inconvenient fact is that in America, policy DOES NOT MATTER. Trump winning twice despite having no policies at all proved that. We are a nation that picks our President like they're a potential match on Tinder. The only people who care about policies are those needing an excuse to stay home.

Have any sociologists or psychologists examined the disconnect between how people increase access to anecdotes but not also increase their scales of time and population involved in said anecdotes; and how that disconnect has been weaponized to sell us guns and home security systems?

The reason Trump won is something Democrats hate to admit : Votes AGAINST a candidate count the same as votes for them do. They didn't vote for Trump. They voted AGAINST the Democrat. And Republicans never need to earn their votes. They earn their votes through winning the primary.

"California is turning purple"

To put that into perspective: 35 GWOTs. 1.5 Vietnams. 12 Revolutionary Wars. And that's not US casualties. That's COALITION. Just consider the US casualties, and that becomes even more lopsided. Or, if you prefer - 5% of all allied deaths in WW1.

Jane reverted back to the old ways today. And chose VIOLENCE.

If only there were clues why his late wife had an affair. Total mystery that went to the grave with her. But not to her funeral.

Happy Jewish American Heritage Month! This May, we honor the generations of Jewish Americans whose leadership and culture have helped shape NJ-10 and our nation.

Tired of hearing "get out and vote"? Well that's just too bad. It's the way we do things in this country. It's either vote, give up or violence. None of us want violence. I don't want to quit. And I'm going to be pissed if you throw your vote away again if the perfect Democrat isn't the nominee.

All I know is, we’d all have more money if Kamala was president.

2020 convinced a lot of people that they were good at communicating online when the reality was we were all captive audiences with no alternatives. Streamers, podcasters, bloggers all blew up because of audience capture. Then the lockdowns were lifted and they fought to stay relevant.

Jeffries: "We're gonna win back the House ... the ghost of the Confederacy has afflicted the Supreme Court majority, & is invading & haunting the nation right now, & we take that seriously. Which is why Democrats are committed to launching a decisive and overwhelming response in advance of 2028."

The reality here is the contract is being handed over and the expected "outage", if any, will be measured in minutes as they transfer control of the transmission from one provider to another. This is as pedantic as claiming because you sold your house and are moving to a new one, you're "homeless".

The biggest problem Biden had is that he ALSO presided over the (unsurprisingly) contraction of the tech and journalism sectors after COVID ended. And guess which two industries have the largest, loudest presence on social media? They turned their shitty economy into THE economy.

This is also a very key reason why the DOD refused to ever let Congress do a full audit. Because those camera whores would see lines of accounting for countries that we have current (but classified) operations in, and go run to CNN and endanger everyone there for a soundbite.
