CNN’s Harry Enten: β€œMind blown about the early vote in Texas. TX Dems may outvote the GOP for the 1st time in a midterm primary since 2002! This indicates they're well on their way to having higher primary turnout nationally & since 06 the party with higher primary turnout won the House every time.”

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Minnesota and Elsewhere Today, more from Judge Schlitz in Minnesota.

At this point, the predominant emotion so many of us are feeling is anger. Anger that people are being treated like this. Anger that our government is doing it. Anger that it’s doing it with our tax dollars. joycevance.substack.com/p/minnesota-...

Amazingly, despite all the data that contradicts this, a great many people believe that President Biden and specifically his The American Rescue Plan were a significant or even primary cause of the increase in the rate of inflation in the US. This is flatly contradicted by the data.

One year ago tomorrow, Donald Trump signed the Laken Riley Act - a bill that empowers ICE and strips immigrants of due process by allowing indefinite detention, even for children.

Trump couldn't get it done without Angie Craig.

FOX isn't news. It's a right-wing propaganda channel that uses fear and disinformation to mislead its viewers into voting for Republicans.

A woman looks up at a massive, banner-sized receipt hanging outdoors. The receipt lists various items with large red percentage increases, such as +65% for sauce and +39% for snow boots. The caption reads: "Trump’s tariffs are a disaster for the American people."

Costs are skyrocketing and manufacturing jobs are plummeting. This is the Trump economy: https://www.americanprogress.org/article/a-year-in-review-how-the-trump-administrations-economic-policies-made-life-less-affordable-for-americans/

Nobody in America is safe. If Trump’s secret police force will execute a government employed VA nurse on camera for us all to see and then lie about it, then they won’t hesitate to kill you next and lie about you.

This is fascism. They are Nazis.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

Immigration officers claim sweeping power to enter homes without a judge's warrant, memo says The memo authorizes ICE officers to use force to enter a residence based solely on a more narrow administrative warrant

There's just two weeks until precinct caucuses.

In this moment, we have a choice to make about the kind of party we want to be.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

Trumpism is fascism.
