Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.

The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

The Dems all combined do not have the backbone needed to get thru this mess. If you think they are looking at anything but their donor $ you are sadly mistaken. While I know it’s a pipe dream everyone currently seated needs to go they’ve enabled this mess

No the Dem Senators do not care. Why should they? Their donors don’t care either way so their money is safe. It stopped being about the people a long time ago

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to,

not because the voters want them to,

not because the fed workers and SNAP recipients want them to…

they are caving because their DONORS want them to.

And that’s really all that ever matters to the corrupt

β€˜How is this possible?’: a new film looks inside the appalling abuses of the Alabama prison system In the year’s most shocking documentary, The Alabama Solution, prisoners share astonishing footage in a plea for help

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

ICE agents detained the wrong people in Oregon, then stranded one in Mississippi Homeland Security confirmed the agents were looking for someone else when they broke into the men’s Gresham apartment.

Feds also kept a gold chain one of the immigrants had received from his mother, as well as his cell phone.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

LA: β€œThey took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.”

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 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.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them β€œviolent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

πŸ“Œ Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care.

And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year β€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M β€” 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

How the US sets its poverty rate is shocking It's so horrible, it should actually piss you off

Do you know how the U.S. Poverty line is determined? There's a good chance you don't. And you ABSOLUTELY should.

I just learned, and it absolutely pissed me off.
