You all see how these news companies and TV channels are bowing to Trump? What can be done? Well, here’s a message more Democrats need to get into their heads.

We need serious local news outlets, doing original reporting, subsidized by and aligned with the Democratic Party. Hyperlocal with lots of youth sports and WeRateDogs-type content.

No one can stop black folks from voting except ourselves.

They didn’t stop us in 1964 when LBJ got 94 percent support.

They can’t stop us now.

Trump isn’t no worse than the old southern Democratic Party.

Former Rep. Michelle Steel won’t run for Congress in 2026 The Seal Beach Republican says she’s focused on advancing President Trump’s agenda outside of Congress.

This means the Steels know former Rep Michelle Steel can't win back #CA45 in 2026 and most likely that her husband has concoted some
other way for them to keep a grip on power & continue to grift

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Hunter Biden Interview
YouTube video by Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan Hunter Biden Interview

Minute 31: If you haven’t been the subject of the news it’s hard to describe how disorienting it can be to read something and be like, β€œIs the reporter a psychopath? Have they not met any human beings?” Only to hear normal people *praise* those journalists.

If there's one thing Democrats & Republicans agree on, it's that headlights are too damn bright.

Brightness doubled in the last decade, yet standards are from before I was born.

My amendment passed to find solutions bc it's not a binary choice between the light of 1,000 suns & driving in the dark.

In Colorado, we promote trustworthy law enforcement through transparency and well-trained professionals subject to appropriate oversight. With respect to masked ICE agents, Congress must act now to protect that trust and public safety, as our coalition explains. kdvr.com/news/politic...

In Pinellas County, 74k Floridians will lose health insurance and 14k will lose food aid because of Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s cruel vote.

Voters from St. Pete to Tarpon Springs will remember how she sold them out.

So, let me get this right… The Freedom Caucus just took down the Rule Vote on the House Floor because they want more children to die with cuts to international aid? Asking for a friend.

The Trump Administration purposefully made all these devastating health care cuts AFTER the midterms. They know what these cuts will do to people, and they don't want to pay the price for it.

U.S. Inflation Accelerated in June as Trump’s Tariffs Pushed Up Prices

Inflation's up under Trump & Vance. Trump's voters bear the responsibility for having produced this inflation. Also good to know that at least as of now Trump & Vance aren't able to mess with the data to hide this truth.

After I demanded an investigation into what role the Trump staff cuts played in the response to the horrible tragedy in Texas, Trump threw a fit.

Now we know why:

Trump and Noem fired key personnel at FEMA, weakening America's disaster response ecosystem.

Democrat Jessica Killin, an Army veteran and one-time chief of staff to Doug Emhoff, announces campaign to flip longtime GOP-held House seat in Colorado Springs. The 5th District has been in GOP hands since it was created in the 70s, but recent shifts give Killin an opening vs. Rep. Jeff Crank.
