I lived in Thailand for 3 years & would move back in a second.

Yes. And I believe Cannon was confirmed by both parties after the 2020 election.

This is my concern with Medicare For All. Wouldn't the republicans just eventually destroy it so nobody would be covered?

I wonder if this will just be a normal thing going forward. The president, for example, didn't salute the marines getting off the helicopter until Reagan did, and now that's normal. Will all future presidents put their picture everywhere?

Vote blue no matter who... Unless it's Stephen A. Smith.

I think for this to happen, the Dems will need to win 52 seats. If they only get 51, Fetterman will switch sides so Vance can be the tie breaker.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*)

The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

I always wonder how people like this can afford to not work for 4 years. I’d like to do a grand adventure too, but I don’t want to end up on the streets when it’s over.

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

I've never been to the UP. Still on the bucket list!

I haven't looked, but I'm guessing there's a lot of Turkish delight.

This is correct. Impeachment is more likely, & that's a huge longshot.

America in 2026: 34 people control 12% of the income.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Looking good!

I'm with you on this! Bush/Cheaney/Rumsfeld were terrible!!

Wild prediction for 2026: the Democrats win enough seats in the Senate to have a 1 vote majority, and then Fetterman switches parties so Vance is the tiebreaker.

Dave explains the circle jerk of right wing media and MAGA outrage over lies as clearly as I’ve seen.

Quick question, on a typical football Sunday, how many games do you watch at the same time?

Probably here...

It's ridiculous. My senator, Tim Kaine voted for Noem... and defends the vote! They didn't need any Dems to vote for these people so why did they??

Including our own Tim Kaine.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Tuned in to NBC tonight & they had a panelist refer to the Democrat Party. Shameful. 👎
