A post-NATO alliance is needed, as the US can’t be trusted. Instead of duplicating resources, common equipment like tanks should be used against a shared threat like Russia (which regardless of Ukraine still IS a threat) to avoid unnecessary spending at expense of welfare.

I love movies that have read the brief and know what they're about. I also love movies that are better than they have to be. I would count Predator Badlands amongst these. Funny with a great subtext about family and belonging. Who would have thought a Predator movie would be heartwarming?

Time for Mamdani and Obama to go to a baseball game with the Pope. Let’s just blow this whole thing wide open.

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

This image is a political illustration from the German newspaper Die Zeit depicting a confrontation between a Pope and a US President. The artwork is titled "Pope Leo XIV" and portrays a tension-filled scene between the two figures.

I imagine this how trump's negotiations with Iran are going.

Oh this really pisses off DNC leaders and their corporate donors.

Pay attention folks. This is how it's done. Trump sues his own DOJ, run by his private attorney, for $10 billion. Normally that would go through the courts with the DOJ arguing AGAINST giving Trump $10 billion. Instead, his DOJ will negotiate a settlement OUTSIDE of court. Literally inside dealing.

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room. The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction. The Health guy collects raccoon dicks. It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

I Completely Support This Petition….

Robert Kennedy would now be 100 years old. But his tragic assassination in 1968 denied him the privilege of watching his children grow up. However, the Senator would have been heartbroken to see the morally indefensible harm RFK Jr. is doing to the nation.

C'mon, people—I was kidding when I posted this!

Food banks are not part of a safety net. they are proof we do not have a safety net.

People complain that Democrats don't fight back. Redistricting in states like Virginia is exactly that and yet some voters are squeamish about voting for it. To be blunt, fighting back doesn't just include public officials but you too. So, if need be, hold your nose and vote YES.

I hope Dems are prepared to no longer take bribes if they plan on tackling corruption & be taken seriously. Voters don’t appreciate hypocrisy.

Agreed. I often compare my life to theirs, knowing they raised 8 children during these hardships & took in several cousins to their small house whose families couldn't care for them. I know many others have similar family stories, or stories that are even more harsh. Don't forget this history

A traitor to both his party and his country.

Please don’t forget Gaza. Israel is still bombing and murdering Palestinian civilians while the world is distracted.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

Russ Vought specifically calls out USAID as something he's proud of (illegally) dismantling. The cut foreign aid has likely already killed hundreds of thousands of people and will eventually kill millions.

Between the dismantling of USAID and the war in Iran, plus the shredding of the social safety net, this administration is on track (easily) to be responsible for more deaths than any since the Vietnam War.

Any democrat who continues to support subsidizing Israel’s military is, I think, DOA for 2028, as should always have been the case.

J.D. Vance: "Martin Scorsese should be more careful when he talks about cinema."

I’m sure we can add to this list….

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

Democrats across the country can use their commitment to anti-corruption values to talk to everyday Americans who are fed up with this Republican oligarchy. That's what our #UnrigWashington campaign is all about.

You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.

HOWLING

EVERYONE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THIS: Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to cover it. Chad Bianco really seized over 650,000 ballots based on conspiracy theories that don’t even hold up to basic scrutiny. No credible fraud. No real discrepancy. 🧵

If this is true, and I have no doubt that is, it is jaw dropping in the fact that the billionaire-owned media is not reporting on it everyday.

Democrats take heed: “That is because Orbán’s ouster represents a new triumph for a particular brand of disruptive politics: one defined by reformist candidates who launch new parties and blow up old ones…” www.politico.com/news/magazin...
