Under FDR the Democratic Party once embraced strong social programs and was rewarded for it. People like Zohran Mamdani are in that tradition. The question isn’t whether his ideas are too radical, the question is whether the party still has the courage to fight for the people the way it used to.

I have a feeling Americans will be far more open to free, lifelong, universal healthcare, once they get a taste of massive cuts to Medicaid. Dems need to NOT be chickenshit. ACA was a compromise position. If the GOP is willing to go to the wall to hurt Americans, we need to go to the wall

Trump just said the B-2 pilots called him the other day because they were “devastated by the press.” “Sir, sir…” they said. Bull. Fucking. Shit.

This is so true!!

I put together a bunch of Trump's full Truth Social posts in this column because it's important that people see the sum-total of his lunacy. Most never do. If you have a place to share this where others might see it, I'd appreciate it. ✊ www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Do you actually sit next to strangers on the train and tell them that you think their shoes are ugly, that you would rather read a different book, and that they’re definitely living their lives wrong? No? Then don’t do that shit on the internet either.

And I bet trump mobile has one ready to sell you.

A Masterclass in Sarcasm: Congressman Jared Huffman's Brilliant Roast of the Trump Administration

I don’t believe a single goddamn thing coming out of this administration. This is absolute gaslighting madness. It’s as if we’re watching toddlers run through the White House screaming and smearing Gogurt into the carpet and the entire world has to pretend it’s the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

I have been screaming this for weeks. The constitutional crisis isn’t with the executive branch (though yes it is acting lawlessly), it’s Congress. The calls are coming from inside the House, as it were

Nothing from his social media should be repeated by the legit press. That’s what he wants. To be able to lie on social media because everybody does it and then have it legitimized.

We are baking in North Carolina. I wish trump would do something to help us like putting a social media post declaring climate change is over and that it will forever be cooler, thank you Mother Nature for your attention to this matter. It might work.

"Their worst hour" - that is the way to describe the media's coverage of trump and the Israeli-Iran conflict the last 24 hours. Trump's social media posts were treated as diplomatic masterstrokes when it was clear they were delusional rants of a madman. The media expressed no skepticism at all

A truly great country knows its full history — this is strength. Denying that history is weakness and weakens that nation going forward. A president who erases our history attacks our strength. op: kyleclark9news

Absolutely. The last 24 hours of the media pretending social media posts are somehow groundbreaking diplomacy has been especially nauseating

I'm gonna say it again: I am done with the "why are you surprised" trolls. The capacity to remain shocked and upset by what is happening in our country is a sign that you are not numb to fascism. We have good reason to be shocked by SCOTUS endorsing the sale of migrants into slavery, for instance.

I mean this is what it would sound like if you asked a fourth grader to imagine what a ceasefire would be like. and yet our entire political class is committed to never mentioning that the man is an imbecile

They both get to finish their final bombing runs? Iran goes first and then Israel stops 12 hours later? There’s gonna be worldwide celebration? “God bless Iran”? The guy is literally terrified of the war he started, out of his gourd, and has a child’s grasp of the world. Why can’t anyone say it

He’s a mentally ill idiot and nobody in MSM is saying anything about it and instead they’re behaving as if all this is normal. This is not normal, we are all in danger.

Maybe Congress could pass a law or something. You know, do some legislating

Ever think about the fact that all the strife in the world is caused by a handful of assholes playing with everyone's lives. And people who don't want any of it outnumber them by the billions, yet the people on the same side are divided by stupid shit so we do nothing about it? I do.

Oh sure...Reagan caught hell for letting his wife’s astrologer whisper in his ear. But Trump? He’s out here taking strategy tips from Loomer like it’s the golden playbook. At this rate... we’ll be lucky if his next cabinet pick isn’t a Magic 8-Ball. I wish I were kidding.

Trump was played by Netanyahu, and then played by the Iranians. Just wait

That fucking hat, always modeling the merch

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

Put a mad man in power The media ignores his madness Treats his mad actions as normal Nothing will stop this until we collectively recognize he is clinically insane. No hyperbole. Just days ago he was lamenting he should have won the Nobel Peace prize 4 or 5 times for things no one knows about

Mahmoud Khalil is free.

An American president told a city of 10 million people to evacuate it immediately as he urgently leaves the G7 to fly to DC and then … nothing. But people still treat him as if he isn’t insane and a threat to everyone. Oh, and Biden was old.

Too Weak Taco

Too Weak Taco is Trump's new nickname

This is spot on, protests must focus on Rs in Congress as trump enablers

Kristi "Puppy Killer" Noem gets carted to the hospital in an ambulance and the corporate media has zero fucking questions. They just print she had an "allergic reaction" and is fine. Sure it wasn't an eating disorder? I mean you could ask a question or two. abcnews.go.com/Politics/dhs...

Basically, trump saw that israel was kicking Iran's pants and decided to jump in to claim the credit.

Protests need to pivot to focusing on the Republicans in Congress who are enabling trump. We need a "Do your job or go home" nationwide protest

Bluesky won’t let me post this here directly for some reason.

He is detached from reality which cannot have a good ending

Need you more evidence trump is not really in charge?

One thing that always needs to be pointed out when discussing his parade is that the Army deserved better. The Army deserved to be commended for 250 years of service, trump and the republicans dishonored the Army tradition.

Old but still highly valid approaches in this his 2nd (far worse) admin. I have tried to follow these recommendations, but admit to having fallen on #4 "policies not orange-ness" recently. Pay extra attention to #8 as I've seen MANY pro-Dems posting AI spew recently. We are all imperfect humans.

At the same time he is saying don't go to the agricultural sites, or hotels or restaurants. Only go after criminals. How is this going to work?

When mommy and daddy spend a fortune on your quinceañera and nobody from school shows up.

Haven't seen photos of the actual parade route yet but a local NBC reporter just posted a video showing very few people seem to have shown up for the kickoff.

"I cannot say this strongly enough: until 2026, only two things stand between the authoritarian project and its objectives: the judiciary and a popular protest movement. We have no control over the former. We must not surrender, or abandon, the latter."

Look at Trump’s Truth Social post. Consider his call with Newsom. He is incoherent, insane. Failure of corporate press to say that every day as he is taking us down the road to a police state is the gravest journalistic malpractice in American history. They will never redeem themselves.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Read this carefully, Noem is basically declaring war by the federal government on the state of California and Los Angeles with the goal of removing their elected leadership. This is no longer (if it was really was) about immigration.
