I would like to take this opportunity to remember Melissa Hortman, a serving Democratic politician assasinated by a right-winger.

This β€œbig, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2

He won't get it with Trump but the next Democratic president with a Dem majority needs to get it done.

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money.

Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements β€” and saw no increase in employment.

Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year β€” 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

Unemployment up.

Stock market down.

Mortgage rates up.

Consumer confidence at worst levels since the Great Depression.

I still maintain ending Reconstruction was the single greatest mistake ever made in this nation. Southern aristocats didn't suffer enough.

this is the tweet that led to him saying 'my bad' it's very clear that he's trying to pivot toward 'you can trust me because i am not ideological, i just say what i feel.' but the truth is he just got so red-pilled by anti-woke stuff on his social media timelines that he couldn't see the obvious

As an Army veteran who spent more time down range than our current Sec of the Army did in about as much time of service, I can honestly say that sometimes using the term "fuck up" is actually putting it lightly because it's more than a "shit show" but not a "royal fuck up"

Hell no. If they're being complete fuck ups they deserve to be called as such.

Negligently disclosing national defense information is illegal β€” and it doesn't have to be classified The Espionage Act, the law that often has been used in criminal cases involving leaks or mishandling of classified information, contains a provision making it

NBC News: The Espionage Act contains a provision making it crime to disclose national defense secrets "through gross negligence."
Β 
The law does not require info be classified, because it was written before the classification system existed.Β The law refers simply to "national defense information."

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinsonβ€”as a ballplayer, serviceman, or humanβ€”without discussing our country’s history of racism.

I think it's safe to say that Democrats in DC are the most useless group of elected officials since the Weimar Republic

Do you think Dem Governors will play a bigger role: see Pritzker, Moore, Beshear, Whitmer? I get the sense that part of the Dems problem is all our leadership is outside of DC because the DC leadership is so geriatric.
