I don't understand the hate. The garden's been around way before this was a wealthier area. We don't have to sacrifice a beautiful spot that's open to everyone in order to get people into affordable housing especially when there are other options.

You and democratic leadership should be platforming Americans who can tell the public what higher premiums will mean for them and the impact the ACA has had on their lives. Put civilians on TV interviews. They make better messengers than politicians on this. Same goes for dealings with ICE.

To be clear, Mills deserves a ton of respect for her role in pushing back against Trump but I'm tired of politicians who selfishly refuse to cede power to the younger generation. We are here in no small part due to Biden's refusal to step aside as promised. Let's not keep making the same mistakes.

Susan Collins has got to go but Janet Mills is not the person for the job. Maine — and the Democratic Party — needs vitality and new leadership.

Read in the NYT about your support for 77 year old Gov Janet Mills. Why? What will it take for you and the democratic establishment to realize that you're the reason so many of us are refusing to give to the DNC. A person nearing 80 has no business running for office. Support Graham Platner.

RETIRE

I will not donate to the DNC again until @kenmartin.bsky.social
resigns as Chair and @schumer.senate.gov resigns as Majority Leader. Get it through your heads that we are DONE with the current leadership.

State sponsored terror. That is what is happening.

Hurtling into dictatorship. Disgusting abuse of power.

Cornyn Says F.B.I. Will Help Find Texas Lawmakers Who Fled State

If I had school age children I would be making plans to leave the country. This regime wants to take us back to the turn of the 20th century (or further) in more ways than one, and RFK's stance on public health is both damaging and shameful

Anytime I have ever made a comment in the NYT that we are in the middle of a Second Civil War, they don't publish it. Finally some ink is being spilled on this brutal reality. It's well past time democrats meet fascism with the ruthlessness it deserves.

Texas Pushes Redistricting Into an Era of ‘Maximum Warfare’

“Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.” Anytime I have ever made a comment in the NYT that we are in the middle of a Second Civil War, they don't publish it. Finally some ink is being spilled on this brutal reality. It's well past time democrats meet fascism with the ruthlessness it deserves.

Just another manufactured crisis for him to "solve" like an arsonist putting out a fire. He is an extortionist holding the world hostage. And let us never forget that this "deal" will be paid for by consumers and hit middle and low income people the hardest. What an asshole.

"He's in the process of establishing a dictatorship."
It's a simple 8-word sentence. News media could tell the public that. They know it's true. They report on the various steps toward autocracy every day. But they're afraid to utter that 8-word sentence. Which is more evidence of how true it is.

Velshi: The latest fox poll shows 80% of registered voters have been following the Epstein case. Of the people who've been following the case, only 13% believe the Trump administration has been open and transparent. The Epstein scandal will not be going away anytime soon

Never surprised by those two. Always with the performative handwringing and clutching of pearls before doing what they always do. Predictable in their cowardice.

Thank you. I keep telling my friends this whenever midterms are brought up as a way out of this nightmare. Still possible? Maybe but "uphill battle" is a gross understatement. Plus, that guy ain't gonna leave in 2028 unless the quarter-pounders catch up with him first

Graph does not surprise me in the least but what is its source? Thx

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Video shows federal agents blast their way into Huntington Park home Video appears to show an explosion set off by federal agents as they entered a Huntington Park home in an early morning law enforcement operation that startled a woman who was inside the house with he...

Federal agents used explosives to enter a U.S. citizen’s home and entered — guns drawn — on a baby, a 6-year-old, and their mother. She believes it’s because her boyfriend attended an ICE protest where he accidentally hit a cop car (and was released by cops).

A Minnesota Lawmaker and Her Husband Are Lying in State. Next to Them: Their Golden Retriever.

My sadness and anger is compounded by the thought that we could have had a leader like Tim Walz who chose to also honor their dog Gilbert, who likely tried to protect the Hortmans. Instead we have an American Fascist as our VP and we see cruelty over compassion coming from this regime everyday.

- Religious exception rulings apply only to the plaintiffs.

- Environmental regulations continue to be enforced despite rulings against them (just not against plaintiffs).

- and on and on.

The left has to use this decision, not just criticize it.

It'll be chaos, but that's what the Justices get.

Seriously I wish the NYT would stop with this approach. I'm convinced these individuals just want to get their words/pictures in the paper and will say just about anything.

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Get 400% Increase According to members of the team, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders received a 400% raise last season, with specific rates having not been released. What do you think?

Waiting for declaration of martial law and for expanded definition of US citizens considered "hostile" under Alien Enemies Act

I can only hope I live long enough to witness their trials

No more strongly worded statements. Do whatever it takes to get JUST 4 REPUBLICANS to vote against this horrific piece of legislation.
