I don't think Trump has much hope of winning the Nobel Peace prize as long as he continues threatening to use military force against Venezuela, and Brazil, and Panama, and Afghanistan and Denmark and Canada and Chicago and Portand and Los Angeles....

"She said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., encouraged her to run" I have no problem with Janet Mills, but she's 77 years old, and it's absurd that the Democratic Senate leadership hasn't been cultivating a new generation of candidates in a very winnable New England state.

5/ But here's the even darker kicker. The House Republicans aren't even in town. Speaker Johnson told them to stay away from DC. They haven't been here in nearly a month. Refusing to show up for work. An unprecedented, unplanned 4 week recess. And why?

Jared, last heard in March, fantasizing about building a Mediteranean resort in a conquered Gaza strip, cleansed of the local population. "I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up" apnews.com/article/jare...

See something, say something. It's worth calling your local rental company if you see a band of masked men using their vehicles to abduct people off our streets.

22 year old science fiction author, Isaac Asimov, figured out the need for "Laws of Robotics" in 1942. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Personally I think, "We will not fund the Republican budget while the President is declaring war on American cities" would be the best soundbite to get out there.

It’s decision time. If we are going to fund the government, it should only be a government that respects our democracy, that isn’t corrupt, that doesn’t treat people and places that oppose President Trump as enemies, deserving of indictment or military deployment.

This is not about a "college student". This is about a deliberate and openly stated political campaign to target college professors, organized by right wing groups with the protection of Republican politicians. Actual students are being suspended, expelled and deported for "wrongthink".

Last time this happened it was Trump who gave in. We need to remember that he and his party need to get a budget bill signed. Otherwise he's going to be catering the grand opening of his ballroom with 800 orders of McDonalds takeout hamburgers. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

When our outrage translates into withholding our consumer dollars, a big corporation like Disney is forced to listen – and respond. Next time you’re feeling powerless, remember this.

Evangelical Christians have convinced me that the Rapture is god's way of giving the rest of us a breather from his most rabid fans.

How is Trump's Khrushchev impression playing overseas?

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

What’s at stake here is free speech. Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel. We need to all stand up and speak out.

The explosion of school shootings all happened after a Republican President allowed the Assault Weapons Ban to expire, and I don't have much patience for people who default to arguing "well, it wouldn't have prevented this particular murder, so there's no point in trying at all."

The Deputy Secretary of State has declared he will use Kirk's death as an excuse to arrest and deport "foreigners", and I was just surprised he didn't add "it's what he would have wanted".

Apropos of nothing.

Just read a CNN article that claims tariffs won't really be that bad as long as we keep buying stuff at higher prices. So "No Worries!" I guess.

More leaders like this please.

AOC: If anybody says “this isn’t fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congress” maybe you should stay home.

As a governor who cares about the well-being of my people, I can’t live in a fantasy land where I pretend Trump is not tearing this country apart for personal greed and power.

The United States court system is actually doing a very good job opposing Trump's assault on democracy, with one conspicuous exception.

Who can forget the day Michelle Obama fired 20,000 medical professionals and cancelled funding for cancer research?

every day i see hundreds of comments of people spinning elaborate scenarios to explain how trump can control everything and all opposition is futile. a) i think a lot of you need to log off and stop following professional doomsayers. b) i think a lot of you are cowards

"Unlike Monarez, O’Neill, a former investment executive, does not have a medical or scientific background." An investment executive and a conspiracy nut lawyer running our nations health agency. That should instill confidence. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Rep. Veronica Escobar: "We need more people marching in the streets."

“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful,” (2/23/2022) Trump knows who started the war. He blames Zelenskyy for fighting back.

"When you call something a distraction you're implying that we shouldn't pay attention to it" Democrats have people who know how fight against the rise of fascism. The party would go a long way to repairing it's credibility if it put them in front of a microphone at every opportunity.

More Dems like this, please.

stop calling everything a distraction youtube.com/shorts/yyFjN...

For the love of God, Democratic leaders need to stop calling Trump's assault on cities a "distraction". This should be a rallying cry to get people activated in opposition. How are you missing this point? bsky.app/profile/atru...

So Trump's power move is getting a convicted sexual predator to vouch for his character.

Just saying, the Democrats really need to be seen fighting and you've got the perfect civil liberties fight for political freedom going on right now in Texas. Are national Democrats going put up a legal fight against Texas in defense of State Rep Nicole Collier?

It's great that Gavin is fighting back against Trump in California, but I really wish he would stop with the "What would it look like if I acted just like Trump?" schtick. Keep mimicking an a**hole and pretty soon you just look like an a**hole.

I implore every elected Democrat to drop the word "Distraction" from your vocabulary. It's your job to stop these abuses or, at the very least, prove you will fight against them if you ever regain power. Calling it a "distraction" signals you can't be bothered to worry about it.

Popular politician could be a problem for National Democrats according to media site known for paying off our corrupt president.

Rep. Adam Smith: "Look, it's pretty clear the president wants his own domestic police force and step by step he's trying to create it. We should be deeply alarmed by that regardless of how you feel about crime in DC or any other city ... it's a huge step toward an autocratic government."

The people running the instititions that are folding are owned by some of the richest people on the planet, and that is not an accident. This was obvious back in October, when most major media suddenly abandoned presidential endorsements. We're in a war waged by the oligarchs against democracy.

The facts are that the planet is 0.6 C hotter now than it was in 2009. Every year in the last 10 years has been significantly hotter than every year before that. We're well out of the uncertainty zone now. weather.com/news/climate...

Excuse me, WHO are these workforce development organizations? And how is it that they are being paid $50 million in any settlement at all? Doesn't this seem like a pretty critical detail to just brush past, considering the level of graft and extortion occuring in this administration?

This is moving. Kamala Harris feels the pain we feel. Not just from her loss, but from the trauma and abuse our country is living through. What could have been…

Politicians complaining about playing politics is the the oldest political game there is.

"Johnson Bucks Pressure on House Vote on releasing Epstein Files" according to the current headline on CNN, which is an odd way of describing a man who just days ago was demanding that the government "put everything out there". "Johnson caves to Trump again" would have been more accurate.

American media assume that anyone who disagrees with Republicans /and/ Democrats must be a "centrist". But Musk was only upset at the Republican budget bill because they didn't cut social spending completely.
