An important opinion piece, because it lays out the facts.

Teach a man who hates socialism and votes for authoritarianism to farm and he can receive socialist handouts for life from the government that bankrupted him in the first place.

For nearly 100 years, independent agencies created by Congress have been critical to the nonpartisan administration of government.

If the Court guts limits on presidential control over these agencies, it won’t just empower Trump β€” it will shred a core safeguard of democracy.

You reap what you sow.

The Dems are far from perfect, but the vast majority of them seem to have the best interests of their constituents at heart, and they deserve support in an imperfect system. This cannot be said of the scum in the Rep party.

Agriculture Dept. Threatens to Withhold Food Stamps From Democratic States

This is where we are now. Families are starving in the wealthiest nation in the world.

Meanwhile the president is intentionally trying to cut off food for hungry people who live in states that did not vote for him.

It's not just immoral β€” it's un-American.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income β€” so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Hegseth Defense Collapses as Dems Reveal Horrific Video Strike Details The ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services committee tells TNR after watching the video: β€œThis is a big, big problem.”

NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.

"It's bad," Smith says.
