Supporting the troops means protecting them from superiors who would have them commit murder and war crimes.

This is a fundamental duty not just of electeds, but of fellow citizens.

Pete Hegseth Needs to Goβ€”Now A man with such contempt for the military should not run the Pentagon.

If a β€œno quarter” order was given it is either a war crime or murder.

In any case, this adolescent needs to go.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Sweetheart, bless your heart.

You were fine with Trump going after innocent election workers, families of judges, rallying a mob that killed police officers.

But now that Daddy is upset with his girl, you are a victim.

Sorry, @RepMTG. We knew you before you were a virgin

They’ve acted like animals in Chicago. Untrained. Abusive. Thugs terrorizing and gassing landscapers, school teachers, families, roofers.

"This is a White House that is very focused on making sure the top end of town is doing okay. We do know that they've passed a budget that helps the rich. We do know that tariffs hurt the poor. We do know that when an economy slows down, that hurts working and middle class families the most."

So we make a deal that allows several Republican senators in key states to vote for ACA subsidies next month and get political cover back home, but not enough to pass it. Sounds great.

Will This Photo Define the Trump Years? A Saturday Prompt

β€œIn this single moment, we got more visual evidence of Trump’s absence of compassion, indeed the indifference to the suffering of another human…What a tragedy that at a time of grave and great challenges a man like this occupies our White House.”

incredible that these guys have a massive hard on for a country that, if it were a state, would rank behind kansas in terms of wealth and which would be a total backwater if it weren’t economically integrated with more functional countries

Harry Truman said β€œsocialism” is the scare word Republicans use to label anything that helps everyone - not just the rich. It still is!

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

Speaker Johnson Defends Trump’s Gatsby-Themed Halloween Party as β€˜Obligatory Tradition’ Speaker Mike Johnson rejected a reporter's question about President Donald Trump holding a Great Gatsby-themed Halloween Party on Friday as federal food assistance was set to lapse.

Let them eat cake.

These tone deaf people simple do not care.

The Real Worry About Trump’s Deals With China Today he’s resolved little more than a crisis of his own making. What might he trade away later for such negligible gains?
