These losers need to step aside! He and Shumer are so ill-suited for this moment.

No, the fundamental divide remains between the "top" and the "bottom."

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Gov. Josh Shapiro says he's officially running for reelection Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro hasn't lost an election yet. And he says he's seeking another term as governor.

Please, someone primary him! www.phillyburbs.com/story/news/p...

Maybe this is why I'm not a Beltway journalist, but I think the fact the United States is about to invade Venezuela to take their oil is an 100X bigger story than Trump's chief of staff going on the record with Captain Obvious characterizations of their dysfunctional regime

For what its worth, I am a Pennsylvania resident. I voted for Kamala Harris. I would not have voted for her had Shapiro been on the ticket.

Exhibit A as to why I'll never vote for Shapiro for President.

There are few politicians I hate more than her. I swear she spews this garbage just to try and stay relevant.

Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital, the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society.

This is true since the members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population. Moreover, under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control, directly or indirectly, the main sources of information – press, radio, education.

Whenever you see Bari Weiss' name, remember:
PROFESSOR REFAAT ALAREER TOLD US TO HOLD HER ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS MURDER!
Bari Weiss made his home a target, and they killed Dr. Alareer, his sister, her 3 children, his brother and that brother's son.
Bari Weiss is a proud propagandist for racist murder.

Why even bother ... just another war crime committed by Israelis who will never be held to account.
