thank you Brad Lander for being a witness to the cruelty and insanity of Donald Trump's storm troopers. if the Democrats had any integrity, they would proudly shut the government down to stop funding the Gestapo. This is what opposition would look like. Chuck? Hakeem?

It is still incomprehensible to me that the white Democrats could not read what almost all the House reps of color understood: you do not enshrine a hater to sainthood, admit to your voters that the Republicans laid a trap, and then become ensnared with eyes wide open. Including my rep, Becca Balint

The entire right wing is in rage mode today. Why? Because the lazy, out of shape orange creature had to walk up a flight of stairs. I am in my 70's and keep myself in shape- I would be completely mortified to admit that walking up a flight of stairs was a challenge. Investigate the UN!

If are really, really angry at the entire Republican/ Center right Democratic establishment,
Bob Dylan's MASTERS OF WAR is a great anthem for the moment.

So Schumer and Jeffries are on their knees begging the dear leader to meet with them- the very same dear leader who instructed the repugs in the senate not to negotiate. We really need leaders who don't play nice with fascists. Desperately.

How can we share a country with such hateful racists? Every day we live with this cruelty and stupidity makes me feel we need to secede at least economically- no tax dollars to the fascists! If the sending states kept their tax dollars, trump would be cooked.

Check out NYT today:they ran a story on the red envelopes full of cash that Eric Adams' volunteer is handing out to Chinese news media reporters-they saw this a month ago in 3 different occasions: sat on it until a small, independent THE CITY,turned them in.Imagine if Mamdani was seen bribing media!

Trump Forced European Leaders to Admire His Dictator Merch So many, many hats.

Amazing on so many levels: Macron just stood there, the trumpers do not find this humiliating, and the orange a-hole actually believes anyone gives a shit about his tacky, overpriced junk.

It is refreshing to see some backbone in some surprising places- Gavin Newsom is trolling trump awesomely! Kathy Hochul has claimed she will fight the Texas redistricting. Not enough-but hopefully people will pressure some of the Democrats who have shown zero leadership-NJ, CT, OR, WA- and others.

Where is the so-called leadership of the Democratic party as Trump and the fascists who run Texas are trying to destroy what is left of democracy in this country? Schumer? Jeffries? silent as the tomb. We desperately need an opposition party and it cannot be led by these two spineless creatures.

How many Jews do I represent? We are so so sick of being called anti-semites by the guy who just called someone 'shylock,' the guy with the Iron cross tattoo, and the rest of the Jew-hating, Israel supporting Christian right. We support the rights of Palestinians to live-that makes us anti-semites??

U.S. Strikes on Iran Are Another Wedge for Divided Democrats

U.S. Strikes on Iran Are Another Wedge for Divided Democrats www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/u...

NYT does it again- writing about Israel and omitting the centrist Democrats' refusal to say word 1 condemning the starvation campaign in Gaza, as if that were not central to opposing Israeli aggression.

This is true. We need AOC/Bernie/Jasmine/JB Pritzger type energy and beliefs.

does that mean she Marge will be out of our hair? It is impossible to imagine she could win a senate race in an actual state, instead of winning in a massively gerrymandered district. And the Repugs in Georgia really will nominate a venereal disease like that to challenge a sitting senator?

I disagree: not an upgrade at all. Merrick Garland was the worst attorney general in history. Pam Blondi is at least doing what she was hired to do. Garland had from January 6 til 2024 to prosecute crime after crime. He did nothing, and he and his boss are why trump is not behind bars.

thanks to the Chris's. We see the same few senators out in the world of resistance, but most are busy complaining about Bernie and AOC, wishing their constituents appreciated a good do-nothing senator, and checking their stock portfolios. EVERY ONE OF THOSE SENATORS SHOULD BE OUT AT THAT RALLY!

love Jasmine Crockett, but even as a joke, she knows that trump is too dumb and too lazy to do any research on any subject. But it is a source of astonishment that Trump is not even ashamed at all about his amazing ignorance- I know these guys don't do shame, but not knowing his job description!

trump now knows that he does not need the rubes any longer- his only loyalty is to the super rich, who hand him bribes of at least a million dollars. There is likely an actual spread sheet that tells the billionaires what each service costs: 1 mil to prevent an ICE raid, 1 mil for a pardon, etc.

good news. If Marge runs for senate, is it mandatory for her to give up her seat? I sure hope so, because the vote would have to be really amazingly fixed for her to take a win. But, will the voting be anything like free and fair with these criminals running things? Doubt it.

buy food from local farms if you can-the garbage that is about to enter the food system with no regulation is awful.Your state may do some testing,but there may be no testing for disease spreading organisms.The number of chemicals will soar. RFKJR thinks he can ask and the chemicals will go away.

and if you were an immigrant and you wanted to leave, you still won't get any $1000- this creep lies about everything. there is not one word he has said regarding handing out cash to people that is true. But also, if you are am immigrant who has any place else to go, it will be an improvement.

Donald Trump is saying that he never posted this picture of him as Pope because he has annoyed his Catholic supporters too much with his blatant disrespect.

RT it everywhere because that orange pig hates it.

if we the people can't remake the Democratic party into one of opposition we need to move on. JB Pritzger is the model we all need to follow: the Republicans cannot have a moment of peace until the fascist project is brought down. NO BIPARTISAN TALK! Republicans must need to grovel to pass anything,

If the DOGE employees decide it would be cool to launch a nuclear weapon for kicks, can they still blame Joe Biden?
