Clarksville veterans say care, not cuts to the Veterans Administration, are needed โ€ข Tennessee Lookout Tennessee veterans face worsening chronic illnesses as a result of long waits for care and denial of claims from the Veterans Administration.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable โ€”not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Itโ€™s unbelievable.  Trump pardoned people who tried to overturn the 2020 election last night, and by tonight the story basically vanished.  The press has already moved on.  Iโ€™ll keep saying it:  the media is failing this country at the exact moment we need accountability the most.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

ICE agent wounds deputy U.S. marshal and TikTok streamer, who is charged with assault Carlitos Ricardo Parias was charged Tuesday night with assault on a federal officer after the immigration operation in L.A. in which the suspect and a U.S. marshal were injured.

Even though this happened two weeks ago I just saw it. ICE shoot a US Marshall. This is how untrained these idiots are.

Please donโ€™t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and canโ€™t be fooled by those games.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

The 'centrist' Dems who voted with the Republicans managed to turn Tuesday's hard fought wins into losses... this caving is disgraceful, and a slap in the face of every energized voter. Bernie's right-- and it's now the Dems' fault.

Of course they did, because of the nature of the case she brought-- too late, no 'standing'... it's not really 'upholding' marriage equality, but that said? Let's hope she feels awful about it, and deeply humiliated. She deserves it. ๐Ÿ‘
