Trump mismanaged Covid helping drive a global supply shock that drove up inflation, which Biden administration had to manage - and did - leaving Trump with an inflation rate approaching 2% when he took office. It is now back up to 3.8% because Trump is mismanaging the economy and world once again.

Yeah- pathetic endgame of random use of charges of antisemitism is calling the NY Times antisemitic It's like calling the Vatican anti-Catholic

Back in 2009, the rightwing successfully destroyed the organization ACORN for daring to register poor people to vote and take on subprime mortgage companies. Now they are trying to destroy SPLC. Dem leaders should be standing up and defending SPLC with every tool they have.

Every political case is a 6-3 GOP-Dem Justices split. The Court is nothing more than another partisan legislative chamber - just one with no checks or balances. Adding Justices to the Court is the ONLY check on the Court and has been done in the past - so ZERO reason not to do it in 2029.

While Labour won far more individual seats, the Greens actually received a slightly higher share of the popular vote. Reform takes power only if Starmer's Labour insists on keeping First-Past-the-Post with no proportional or ranked voting. Any UK fascist turn is solely Keir Starmer's choice.

AOC going full religious left in the home of MLK Jr. Seems likely she's going for it- and win or lose the nomination she can help build a movement across the nation that will strengthen the progressive movement everywhere

Chuck Schumer is promoting a Senate candidate who is the darling of a dark money PAC also promoting Susan Collins - and of course is linked to AIPAC Fire Schumer, now. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Pure corruption from end to end in Trumpworld

Pure corruption from end to end in Trumpworld

Seems like a criminal illegal immigrant who should be arrested by ICE at the border. But won't be since criminals get pardoned by Trump. It's only hardworking non-criminals with brown skin who get arrested in Trumpworld.

Musk is the enemy of every American family. He wants to strip them of their pensions and health care. Taxing these ass----- is the COMPROMISE. Since many people would like far more done to them.

If AOC said she would veto a bill to expand the Supreme Court, and Gavin Newsom said he supported the bill, I would support Newsom over AOC. This is the absolute litmus test for 2028. If you don't support this, everything else you want is useless.

The right answer is "yes" So take Booker off the potential list of 2028 nominees.

Classy Donald, making a national monument look like a suburban toilet.

This Mother’s Day, nearly 150,000 mothers will spend the day apart from their children. 58% of all women in U.S. prisons are mothers. 80% of women in jails, including many who are incarcerated awaiting trial simply bc they can’t afford bail. Read: www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2023/03...

This is fascinating- and Tennessee may have passed a dummymander could deliver six or even seven seats to Democrats if the Dem wave is big enough. Hopefully TN Dems can find some strong candidates to run in all these districts.

The country led by the man who has killed nearly a million people in the last year alone by cutting off food and medicine should not have a nuclear weapon. We are agreed. Iran probably shouldn't have nukes either.

Yeah- "what about all those freeloaders paying subsidized fares on the Metro" says the man driving on government-provided free roads and free bridges for his car. Bezos WashPost is now a complete rightwing clown show

Klobuchar sells out the voting rights, abortion rights, immigrant rights and labor rights of the rest of the nation in hopes of a couple of points margin in her own election. Just pathetically selfish political stance.

The Alabama House Speaker says he wants the 14th Amendment overturned as he pushed for racial gerrymander. But the MAGA Supreme Court will say they see no racial animus or consciousness in the gerrymander.

One law 2029 Congress needs to enact is a corruption law that makes any contract awarded to donor to a President absolute evidence of corruption.

Or how about bulldozing it. No even repurposed monuments built by Trump since it's an invitation to Trumpists to reclaim the White House to restore it to Trumpian ballroom glory. Carthage. Burn everything Trump built to the ground.

As Trump payoffs cronies through "settlements", this is a critical decision by a judge NOT to rubberstamp such collusive settlements. www.aol.com/articles/jud...

This is an insane solution. And needs to happen immediately. VA legislature should retire the whole state Supreme Court and appoint a new set of judges who will uphold the vote of the people.

Just to note every Democratic appointee to the Supreme Court joined the majority in 1976 in Buckley v. Valeo that said wealthy people could spend unlimited amounts of money in elections as a First Amendment right- creating much of our corrupt modern politics.

Courts suck because judges generally suck because lawyers generally suck, mostly spending their lives defending racist, anti-labor and criminal corporate behavior before becoming a judge. Good judicial decisions happen because a President or Governor accidently pulled a flower out of a turd patch.

No one can "earn" a billion dollars. You can exploit other people, steal enough of their labor to enrich yourself, but no one in the world performs a billion dollars worth of work. Every great fortune is a theft of someone else's labor.

Even Fox viewers learning Trump lied about ending foreign wars AND lied about cutting the deficit - largely because he wants to increase the debt to pay for foreign wars.

PM Pedro Sanchez of Spain is just flat out one of the most impressive - if not the most impressive - progressive leaders in the world right now.

UK's Starmer threw immigrants and trans people under the bus - and voters decided that they rather have the real thing and voted Reform Or defected to Greens to get actual progressive politics. Lesson for Dems- Implement Third Way politics and get slaughtered www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There is no debt problem. The US GOVERNMENT has a debt of $31.26 trillion But the richest 1% of Americans are sitting on $50–$55 trillion in wealth. Any significant wealth tax could address any deficit issue AND made investments in families to grow the economy. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/b...

America First in this case means "give us your minerals or watch your babies die" Just the most immoral imperialist evil possible www.nytimes.com/2026/05/07/w...

Trump hasn't just killed his own support among independent voters. He's destroyed Vance and Rubio by association

Has Trump thought about going to Congress with a plan and getting Congressional approval? Radical concept but what every 19th century President did with their tariff plans - you know the tariffs he loves babbling on about.

Excited to live in a country where you can mail someone a handgun but not an abortion pill

And "pro-business" GOP are silent because they are fascists first; business can have freedom only to the extent they serve the wishes of the fuhrer.

As southern states use gerrymandering to deliberately erase black representation from Congress in multiple states, the Dems need to make anti-gerrymandering a real part of messaging. yougov.com/en-us/articl...

The US as a nation deserves one last try to see if we can recapture it for decency in 2028- but if not, NY, CA and other blue states need to secede so we can collectively fund initiatives like this and stop sending our taxes to DC to fund ICE and bombs. bsky.app/profile/forb...

Trump is threatening to extinguish Iranian civilization So seems like Iranians will suffer whatever deprivations months of the blockade impose to keep inflicting political pain on Trump.

Partisan political vandalism, meant to blind policymakers so corporate interests can write the laws without data to challenge them.

That Trump pardoned a drug lord & former President of Honduras as part of a conspiracy to bring down the government of neighboring Mexico should be blockbuster top-of-the-fold headlines in every newspaper.

Trump supporting conspiracy by Argentina & convicted (and pardoned) drug lord Juan Orlando Hernández to launch disinformation campaign to destabilize governments in Mexico and rest of Americas. Trump may be using govt payments to Israel to in turn fund effort. english.elpais.com/internationa...

Why the hell is jelly - preserved fruit - not a fruit? Yes too much sugar but it's what most families can afford. Actual fruit is f----- too expensive for most families and getting worse given costs of delivery are skyrocketing. Just more assaults on affordability for working class families.

The straightforward effect of adding more administrative burden on stores will be that fewer stores will accept SNAP. These are the equivalent of abortion TRAP laws, like mandating the width of a corridor.

Fascinating differences between AOC & Mamdani on communication skills. Both are fantastic and both have videos with kids TODAY- but Mamdani always has an intensely professional feel where AOC has this calculated casualness. And both "professional" and "calculated" meant in laudatory meaning.

Kind of incredible EV truck growth in China- even as fuel price hikes will spike inflation in the US as higher diesel costs increase delivery costs for all US goods.

The undertold story of the Trump administration is how criminal law enforcement has collapsed - from gun violations to white collar crimes - as DOJ resources focused instead on nonviolent immigrants.

Translated- much of the income of AI companies are not from customer-based revenue but from owning OTHER AI companies' stock - so AI stock increases feed the illusion of earnings which in turn feeds more increases in stock prices.

Well, since racial slurs and racist policies are now constitutional, does that mean we can take away the political rights of billionaires too?
