True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

America needs more courageous political leaders. #AbolishICE

Dr. Marty Makary has quit as FDA chief under pressure from Trump and others. Experts say the regulatory agency is too important for the "pure chaos" unfolding there, part of a larger unraveling of public health under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Democrats see an opening in the Nebraska Senate and Omaha House races as Osborn and the GOP face unexpectedly tight early signals.

📣 NEW: Tennessee Republicans stripped Democratic lawmakers from House committees after they protested the GOP’s new congressional gerrymander that dismantled the state's only majority-Black district.

BREAKING: U.S. inflation has surged to the highest level in nearly three years, outpacing wage growth and intensifying Americans' affordability crisis.

Gas prices have increased by about $1.40 a gallon over the past year. Most of this is due to Trump’s #IranWar. Now Trump wants to pause the 18 cent per gallon #gastax which fixes our roads and bridges. Voters need to explain to him how both math and reality work in Nov. #VoteBlue

Inflation just hit a three year high mark because of Trump’s tariffs and his war. Yet somehow the billionaire thinks an 18 cent tax cut is going to help average Americans. #inflation #Trump #gastax

Higher inflation has persisted as rising prices pressure consumers.

Since the start of Donald Trump’s second term, Republicans have deployed ever more Nazi imagery and rhetoric, and espoused ideas associated with the Nazi Party, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues. He examines how this dark fringe reached the center of the GOP:
