📣 38 DAYS TO GO. #VIRGINIA Dems need to keep control of the legislature and regain the Governor's office. Massive protest turnout won't mean ANYTHING unless people also VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS UP & DOWN THE BALLOT. Donate today! #Blue25 secure.actblue.com/donate/vablu...

📣 38 DAYS TO GO. I've created a SECOND VA page focusing on the REDDEST districts in the state. Most of these Dems likely won't win, but funding them means they can run competitive races & force VA Republicans to defend "safe" turf. Donate today! #Blue25 secure.actblue.com/donate/vaval...

I don’t see why JD Vance gets to be the only person who can call Trump “America’s Hitler.” We should *all* call Trump America’s Hitler.

Trump and his spawn are corrupt grifters. Republicans hate things like this, based on their concern about Hunter Biden. I'm sure Republicans will vigorously investigate the Trump family right away.

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

Voters 53 - 41 percent think that the system of democracy in the United States is not working. Democrats (74 - 21 percent) and independents (61 - 32 percent) think the system of democracy in the United States is not working, while Republicans (74 - 22 percent) think it is working.

These are insane numbers. Often the floor on a political question is around 30%. "79 percent of voters say the United States is in a political crisis, while 18 percent say it is not,"

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

My latest #cartoon makes note of how Republican arguments for the "work requirements" they want added to #Medicaid and #SNAP sound awfully familiar... #art #newart #poliart #policartoon #politicalCartoon #editorialCartoon #cartoons #comics #memes #politicalArt #politics #foodStamps #WorkSetsYouFree

We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

Trump is a weak man. His only play when he doesn't get his way is to give up.

Here’s the thing: the government doesn’t have to shut down. Trump backed out of negotiations to keep the government open. He told Republican members of Congress not to bother dealing with Democrats. The ball was in his hands. And he fumbled it.

If Democrats don't make this the biggest story in the country for the next several days - and either force Republicans to denounce it or not, what are we even doing here? Every voter should know about this. (Imagine what would happen if, say, Mother Jones wrote this.) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

The Trump regime is one of the most severe and despicable assaults on our freedoms and liberties in the whole history of this nation. Trump is a rapist, a fraudster, a corrupt politician, a felon, and likely a pedophile.

What a joke. Even if Comey were guilty, he'd be guilty of lying about directly authorizing a leak to the media vs. giving a guy license to talk to the media. The Inspector General found he was telling the truth. This is not up there with slavery and Japanese Internment.

In 2024, 7,100 pedestrians were killed on the road, and in recent years, more than 1,000 cyclists have been hit and killed annually. Safety experts explain how bikers and walkers can stay safe.

banning the cars would surely help

Every day, Trump wakes up and thinks “what product should I make arbitrarily more expensive today?” Truck tariffs means drivers pay billions more for vehicles, companies/consumers pay more for shipping, & the benefits to truckmakers get outweighed by costs to other manufacturers

ICE are dangerous thugs. This is Republican America.

World Contraception Day highlights the right of every individual to access safe, affordable, and informed contraception. It is about agency over one’s body, the ability to plan one’s life with intention, and access to choices without discrimination, barriers, or stigma.

This is a power that belongs to Congress. The United States is no longer a working democracy.

The United States of America no longer has a functioning justice system.

The number of people burned alive inside a Tesla is now .. 148 Statistically that's ~2,5 times more per Tesla (!) than the world's 'most fire hazardous car' ever: the infamous '70s Ford Pinto (Taken out of production for 27 fire deaths After 3.2 million produced) docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

So the gunman in Dallas shot detainees, not ICE, and authorities are calling it an targeted act of violence against ICE. Got it.

After Columbine there was a Buffy episode that was supposed to air that dealt with what appeared to be a school shooting. The themes were similar enough they delayed the episode. In delaying The Savant Apple TV+ is saying that the themes are similar. That Kirk was facilitating an online hate group

Like he always does when things are tough, Trump tried to surrender. Unfortunately for him, he was unable to surrender Ukraine to Russia.

No, NY Times, Trump didn't "pivot" on Ukraine. His whole plan was to tell Ukraine to surrender and get a peace prize. Trump, Vance, and Hegseth said Russia's aggression is Ukraine's fault, and Biden's, so pressure on Ukraine and personal rapport with Putin would make peace. Now they're out of ideas.

This is bad. If we interfere in the elections of other countries, it gives them tacit permission to interfere in ourselves. Of course, foreign interference has all been in Trump's favor, because he's stupid and weak.

Universal Basic Income doesn’t make people stop working. It makes people stop panicking. Panicking about rent. Panicking about bills. Panicking about choosing between medicine and food. Imagine what America could build if survival wasn’t our full-time job. #UBI

Elected office is not an entitlement and having members die of old age in office is failure of party discipline.

Republicans, especially Trump, always lie about everything. I wonder if someone is lying to Trump, or if he lies to himself? "I was very proud to see this morning I have the highest poll numbers I ever had,” Trump said"

Well, that's false.

RFK Jr and Trump are lying… The timeline tells the truth… 📌 Tylenol didn’t hit the market until 1955 📌 Autism was first described in 1943 by Leo Kanner, an Austrian-American psychiatrist. He identified children with social withdrawal, repetitive behaviors, and difficulty communicating.

Trump makes America weaker and our competitors stronger.

Re-upping my post from earlier this year about how ridiculously thin the Court's embrace of the "unitary executive theory" in these cases has been: www.stevevladeck.com/p/153-living...

The Republicanson the Supreme Court are corrupt. The Supreme Court is in desperate need of reform.

They rush when they want to rush and they slow walk when they want to slow walk and it’s an ideological decision always in either direction.

"Fifty-three percent of Democratic voters said they preferred politicians described as similar to Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani, while 33 percent favored those similar to Schumer, Jeffries and Pelosi. Fourteen percent didn’t choose."

Republicans voted for a rapist and a felon.

If you have any doubt that the man is demented, listen to how he pronounces the word "opponents." It happens more than once: He gets out the first two syllables, then fades away. No "ts" sound at the end. It's called phonemic paraphasia. People who slur words when tired or drunk never do that.

Canada has bigots in their government too, sadly.

Leave health decisions to the people involved. You should have ZERO say in anyone’s health care but your own. Back off and leave these already persecuted kids alone. #abpoli #ableg #Daniellesmith www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

Charlie Kirk was a despicable person.

This is how I'll remember Charlie Kirk, along with the fact that he was a horrible person.
