You too?

not much to argue about on this one, I guess

I bet you’ll see a bunch of normal folks with patriotic signs and American flags whose collective protest embodies the foundational truths of this republic.

One down – “Kansas Young Republicans disbanded after leak of hateful, racist messages” The Kansas City Star

Remember when Biden and Netanyahu made a ceasefire deal, and then Trump told Bibi to stall so he could use it for his campaign? And now both of these criminals left the hostages behind, fueled a genocide, and circled back to sign the same deal Biden made? Yep, me too.

You know who hates America The guys who took healthcare away from millions of Americans The ones who CUT billions of dollars for programs like cancer research and FEMA Who sit and watch the president use military troops to attack our cities That’s Mike Johnson HE hates America NO KINGS OCT 18

You would think the Nobel Peace Prize was made out of 13 year-old girls the way Trump wants one so bad.

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home. Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures. Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

"We took freedom of speech away" should be in every campaign ad moving forward.

To be clear, what Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump meant was that the military is not white enough or alpha male enough. They believe DEI has given people of color and women the upper hand. That’s what they were saying. However, these visuals don’t drive their POV home.

Trump promised an infrastructure bill for 4 years in his first term. Said it was coming in 2 weeks many times. Never delivered one. Democrats then delivered critically needed funding for crumbling infrastructure. Now Russ Vought is taking that away. But only in blue states.

Quick reminder: they can still release the Epstein files during a government shutdown.

A la Jeff Tiedrich:

I’m telling you, there’s just not enough outrage about the craven actions of Speaker Mike Johnson.

Jesus Christ, how are you so unbelievably bad at this? A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

I don't know which morons need to hear this, but THESE GUYS WERE ANTIFA, every last one of them. They fought fascists.

Who says time travel doesn't exist? The US has been transported back to 1930's Germany.

“Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.” From the archives:

Breaking News: California passed a bill allowing the names of doctors, patients and pharmacists to be omitted from abortion pills mailed to states with bans. The intent is to protect providers and to reassure patients who fear they could be identified.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

Earlier this year, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed all of the staff that distributed $1.7B annually in Social Services Block Grant funds, which many states depended on for their child welfare, foster care and adoption systems. (Published April 2025)

The labor market is deteriorating! For the first time in four years, the economy lost jobs. Our economy is in the toilet right now and everything in the grocery store is higher priced than it was during the pandemic. This is what losing looks like! Trump’s economy sucks!

Mexico's Supreme Court. Elected by the people. 12 year terms. No Re-election possible!

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

AOC: Millionaires are very overrepresented in congress… If we want a congress that reflects the actual country we seek to represent and fight for, we need to have working class people who work here

"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers

School shootings are only a "Fact of Life" in the only country in the world too stupid to do anything to stop them.

I guess for no reason at all, I'm reposting a piece I wrote two years ago, entitled "Republicans don't give a fuck about children."

The Roadless Rule is one of our most important conservation safeguards, protecting forests from the bulldozer and chainsaw. The move to gut this protection is a handout to logging interests at the expense of clean water, wildlife, and local communities. www.rawstory.com/roadless-rule/

Trump long ago established that he’s a racist to the bone. He and his father wouldn’t rent to Black people. He said, “Laziness is a trait in Blacks.” He said some white supremacists in Charlottesville were “very fine people.” We don’t talk about it enough. trib.al/46GkUnW

These are the “Career criminals” Trump is talking about. Sickening.

A nothing burger. Apparently Trump didn’t“hold the cards”. Surprise, surprise.

DOGE says they’ve saved $53 billion The real number is $1.4 billion, and it doesn’t come off the deficit because it’s still Congressionally allocated money.

Our health care system is close to collapse. Not enough doctors, nurses or dentists. Costs are skyrocketing. Trump’s legislation will cause hospitals, nursing homes & community health centers to cut back services. We need a simple, universal system: Medicare for All.

It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.
