It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to β€œrun” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

It's unbelievable how corrupt the Supreme Court is. It's insane that we are letting them get away with it. They are taking away all of our rights.

β€žQuiet, Piggy!β€œ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
Itβ€˜s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace β€œthe American people want” with β€œtroll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

He’s scrambling.

Trump demanded Texas and other red states redraw their congressional districts to rig the midterms in Republicans' favor.

California fought back by redrawing its map to balance out this power grab. Now, Trump’s DOJ is suing California.

The hypocrisy is endless.

If Joe Biden had an MRI a month ago and we had no idea why it was done or on what body part and he claimed he had no idea about either of those things it would literally be all you heard about in the press but Trump just gets a huge pass b/c reporters treat him differently.

Oh, we finally found Trump’s healthcare plan! It’s: kick everyone off their insurance, send them a couple thousand dollars, and wish them luck with their medical bills.

Wouldn’t universal healthcare be far easier if you truly don’t like the β€œbig, bad” insurance companies?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.
