Trump bombed Venezuela and kidnapped Maduro while he most likely killed Khamenei and is conducting an aggressive and illegal invasion against Iran
Both countries that didn’t attack us, I’m tired of living through history

The fact that Americans pointed at countries like Italy, India and the United States just shows how globally ignorant the average American is

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

The concept of β€œPreventative” attack is such an oxymoron especially when it’s Israel that is literally starting another war with Iran

I hate this centrist schtick: "You'll vote for Newsom in 2028, right? VBNMW, right?"

It's anti-persuasive. Do leftists badger you with "You'll vote for AOC in 2028, right? VBNMW, right?"

Socialists & progs are D+90. ~0% vote Rep. 5% of libs vote red! 30% of moderates!

Centrists are the problem!

He called me at work saying he was going to commit suicide. I left work and stayed the night with him at the hospital.

A bill like this will hold them accountable. But then again, the accountability really has to be enforced. Because Amazon has enough money to continue to do what they’re doing.”

I fell leaving my shift and had to take unpaid leave to recover. And now, in bad weather I have to take unpaid leave because it slows me down.

We walked out in 2020 [and demanded] 2-weeks leave, and [Amazon] refused.

I was injured and my wife was

For a lot of these workers, English is their second language, and their leave isn’t explained to them well. I think this bill will help a lot.”

Millions of working New Yorkers now have more sick leave & time off. We spoke to 5 Amazon employees about what Local Law 145 means for them.

In addition to expanding NYC’s Protected Time Off, we’re launching proactive employer compliance checks with the Department of Consumer & Worker Protection.

Harry Enten: Donald Trump is weaker than any other president this century going into a State of the Union address.

It's also the weakest he's ever been with independents: -47 points

Trump is breaking records compared to other presidents. Bush: -11, Obama: -15, Trump: -27.

Brutal.

Remember when Trump said all those crosses in South Africa were burial sites for farmers who were victims of "white genocide?"

Turns out it was all bullshit. Anderson Cooper found the guy who put them up.

All Trump does is lie and the Cult laps it up.

Huge sea change on immigration.

In 2024, 60% in favor of "mass deportations". In 2026, majority against deportations & plurality in favor of "pathway to citizenship".

If Dems win power, we have the popular support to end the second-class status of 12 million Americans.
