"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers.

Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

The Billionaires Have Been Sucking the Rest of Us Dry Since 1989—And It’s Worse Than You Think

The 905 billionaires in the U.S. hold a combined $7.8 trillion in wealth, giving those at the very top political influence and power that undermines our democracy while working people scrape to get by.

People need to be going to prison for this. We’re here in substantial part because Merrick garland was a coward. If we are able to save our country it will be built upon the enforcement of accountability.

It’s continues to be despicable how the media has spent a decade normalizing the orange felon so much so that they are reporting on his authoritarian militarization of Washington DC as if it were a routine military exercise. They deliberately failed democracy for clickbait.

So that's Pritzker and more Krasner saying Trump's goons can be prosecuted. Start of a trend among Dem officials, I hope.

While you were sleeping, Iowa Democrat Catelin Drey flipped a ruby red state Senate seat with a 20 point swing against Trump, breaking the GOP supermajority.

If you’re wondering why Republicans are rigging maps, this is what they’re afraid of.

Official portrait of Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.

“To the members of the Press … . I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend that there are two sides of the story.” Illinois Governor Pritzker, 08/25/25.

BREAKING - Zelensky:

“Russia must end this war, which it itself started.”

ICE agents destroyed Emiliano’s Mexicano restaurant in Pittsburgh. Those actions are scandalous and need to be exposed. The parallel with 1930’s Germany cannot be ignored.

So Donald Trump is going to send the national guard to Washington DC today when the people of DC don’t need them, after refusing to deploy them on January 6, when the people of Washington DC did.

Violent crime is at a 30-year low in Washington, but that doesn’t stop Trump from lying he needs to take over the city because of all the violent crime. Meanwhile, expect his Republican accomplices to remain silent while he builds his police state. Each of them is accountable.

Fully agree. It's a matter of national security on top of the nauseating history of predatory abuse!

Cannot make this stuff up anymore! smh

Mostly, I think this can’t be someone who wants mostly to get back to the way things used to be. Instead, someone with a vision for an American society better than it’s ever been. This means leaders unafraid to talk about raising taxes, increasing government services, and sweeping change.

I’m looking for a movement politician who will act and think outside of the traditional moderate or progressive model. I’m looking for a movement promising to — day 1- undo all the damage Trump has done. I’m looking for people willing to use Trump’s tools against him.

The Biden Admin failed to protect us from MAGA. He was preoccupied with showing that normal could work (and he did) but imagined that people would care. Under Trump two, are bad, they are going to get worse, and all of this was predictable. So what next?

We've now arrived at the Tiananmen Square phase of the Trump administration

This is just sick.
