My comment: β€œI don’t think any Democrat can credibly claim to lead the party or the country without opposing Trump’s reckless, lawless war. Honestly, it shouldn’t even be a tough call.”

If it’s a test, it’s an easy one. A vote to fund the war is a vote for the war.

I know I sound crazy but instead of spending a billion dollars in a day to kill people in another country we should try spending a billion dollars in a day to help people in this country.

ProPublica's damning new database exposes Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg's Cerberus firms snagging $151 billion in Golden Dome contracts while he keeps financial ties, proving Trump's second term is an all-you-can-eat buffet for insiders. Ethics is in the toilet.

LOL at the end of The Substance my sweet husband said he didn’t think it was FDA approved.

In October 2021, I was given - at most under the very best of circumstances - 12 months to live.

Justice Dept., Under Pressure From Trump, Fails to Build Autopen Case Against Biden

BREAKING NYT:

The Justice Department, in the wake of Trump calls to criminally investigate President Biden, scrutinized whether Biden and his aides broke the law in using the autopen to sign presidential documents β€” but couldn't move forward with making a case.

You have two choices and if you don’t vote, you are basically choosing the worst one.

Are Kat or Zohran running for President in 2028? Or ever? That’s a big ask of a person.

people love to say "you should read conservative opinion pieces too" and every conservative opinion piece is like "corporations should have the right to vote but minorities shouldn't. source: I made it up"

Oh, we are going to have to fight the billionaires every step of the way. And it’s going to take years. And we have to be willing to push our elected leaders every single day loudly. Because the right does that with their leaders. We don’t. We vote and then go about our lives.

Court reform is going to take decades. It has to start somewhere and it has to be a priority of voters. No politician is going to prioritize anything that the base voters don’t demand.

I’ll give you a good example. Joe Biden chaired the Judicial Comm. as senator and failed for so many reasons as that chair and as VP. When he was elected president, lib. groups pressured him to be forceful with nominations, including more women of color and progressives. He did that. It’s a start.

In the modern era, no American president has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump. None.

Trump’s War on Iran Could Screw Over US Farmers The Middle East supplies a huge amount of the world’s fertilizer. Conflict in the region has sent prices soaring ahead of the critical spring planting season.

there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran

Court reform is going to take every one in the Democratic Party pushing their leaders to reform it. My primary vote is going to the candidate who puts court reform in their top three planks.

And for me, it is 100% about court reform. Without court reform, any progressive agenda is worthless.

If you really care about who the Democrats nominate in 2028, then you should be putting all your political energy to changing the primary calendar. SC and Iowa aren’t picking the progressive in the race.

The other choice of the two choices took 20 times more money, had a map for Gaza development prior to November 2024, and showed his whole ass when it came to Israel in his first term when he sided with settlers and put the embassy in Jerusalem. But DO GO ON.

And I would contend that Presidential politics are completely different. Right now, every one should be pushing the DNC to rebalance the primary calendar and put big blue states first. SC and Iowa aren’t picking an Elizabeth Warren type. They are picking the Gavin Newsom type.

The problem everyone has here, however, is that the β€œgood ones” aren’t the ones running for President. What we have to hope is that of the group who do run for President that the person elected fills their cabinet with β€œthe good ones”…that’s where we can really advocate for specific ideals.

There are people who can’t remember as far back as the first Trump admin, so I’m not putting too much faith in them even knowing what Iran-Contra was…

Iran-Contra happened 40 years ago! It *literally* involved the US selling weapons to... Iran.

So, the argument is we were funding the armed forces of a country we were at war with?
