I’m just glad it went to someone standing up for democracy instead of tearing it apart!

So sorry for your loss!

How Anti-Corruption Can Be a Winning Issue for Democrats It’s a powerful, unifying theme—and it’s tied to the crisis of democracy under Trump.

Fighting corruption is not a distraction from defending democracy; it's an impotant part of it. www.thebulwark.com/p/anti-corru...

Letitia James speaks after this fake indictment.😏

Now they’re indicting Letitia James…the woman who finally held Trump’s feet to the fire. You can smell the revenge all the way from Mar-a-Lago. This isn’t justice…it’s payback wrapped in paperwork. And every American with a brain knows it.

All to cover up the Epstein files.

Banana republic shit.

If the reported facts are accurately, this is going to be a colossal embarrassment for DOJ.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

Do yourselves a favor and stop watching cable news. It's not news.

The real issue isn’t left vs right.

It’s not white vs black.

It’s not citizen vs immigrant.

It’s not gay vs straight.

The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Today, I am joining those calling on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to resign.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

More of this.

KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.”

He was just taken into ICE custody.

Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo.

Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

Tremendous crossover move right here:

True that

It's called hypocrisy

They’re lighting democracy on fire.

The Beatles were millionaires, John Lennon was abusive AF, and they were incredibly prolific. But when Taylor (not abusive btw) comes out with a new album it’s a “cash grab”. Okay. Check your internal sexism, champ.

How Disastrous Was the Trump-Putin Meeting? The Europeans are coming to Washington in an attempt to salvage Ukraine’s position.

The more we learn about the Alaska meeting, the clearer it becomes that Trump got played by Putin. Steven Pifer, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, breaks down the fallout of the summit:
