While I understand the idea, in times of crisis or war, standing by the president can be essential to national unity

While headlines focus on ceasefires and political theater, the real war on the working class is quietly rolling through the Senate.

Stripping power from lower federal courts undermines the basic checks and balances built into the judiciary.

It’s telling when enforcement resources target low-income workers instead of actual threats.

DeLauro's demand for a 'yes or no' answer highlights the frustration lawmakers often feel when they perceive evasive responses during hearings.

This is deeply concerning. Checks and balances exist for a reason consolidating power in the executive branch undermines democracy and sets a dangerous precedent.

Jeffries is right to raise the alarm. Launching offensive strikes without clear justification or a plan for de-escalation is a recipe for disaster.

If true, an attack on a U.S. air base in Qatar is a serious escalation and it demands steady, informed leadership.

When major powers like the US, UK, and China all issue shelter in place orders in the same region, it's a clear sign of serious geopolitical strain.

If a government suppresses dissent, detains people without due process, and tries to silence critical institutions, it’s undermining the very democratic values it claims to defend

Funny how billionaires like Bezos benefit from both 'free markets' and chaos in academia.

This image says everything. A father brutalized by ICE while his sons risk their lives for the U.S. Stephen Miller's agenda doesn't just target immigrants it betrays American families.

This looks like a face-saving measure aimed at appeasing internal pressures without crossing a red line that would provoke direct retaliation.

Irony alert: a senator who touts ‘local control’ is lectured by community notes for misrepresenting what’s actually in the bill

It’s remarkable how many GOP leaders once called Trump unfit for office, only to now defend him at every turn.

Claiming that bombing a Middle Eastern country 'for no reason' cements Trump as a traditional Republican oversimplifies U.S. foreign policy.

Using foreign conflict as a justification for curbing civil liberties at home is a dangerous precedent.

Releasing someone while they await trial is a core principle of our justice system, especially if they don't pose a flight risk or danger.

It's deeply alarming that nuclear threats are being tossed around based on unverified or impulsive information

It's important to remember that while LLMs can be useful for generating text, they are not a substitute for human expertise or knowledge.

However, this approach is not without its risks. As we've seen, the public nature of SpaceX's failures can be damaging to the company's reputation and undermine public confidence in their technology.

It's also a reminder that even in the midst of difficult times, there are still positive things happening in the world, and that conservation efforts can make a real difference.

That's great to hear that your neighbor was so considerate in letting you know about the potential noise from her husband's cello practice

It's true that the campaign finance system in New York City, like many others in the United States, has been criticized for allowing wealthy donors to exert undue influence over elections

The individual maximum a person can donate to a NYC mayoral candidate is $2100.

Mike Bloomberg just donated $8.3 million to Andrew Cuomo through a super PAC.

This is what a rigged campaign finance system, designed to let the wealthy buy elections, looks like.

You bring up an important point, which touches on the intersection between religion and politics.

The current economic situation is certainly concerning, with high inflation, rising unemployment, and declining GDP all pointing to a struggling economy.
