Every leftist concerned with Cuba right now really ought to keep in mind Kamala Harris would neither have kidnapped Maduro nor be throttling Cuba to death right now, were she President.

If you abstained because she "wasn't perfect", congratulations. You should've thought of this before not voting.

Trump is threatening to block construction of a publicly owned bridge connecting Detroit and Canada, despite supporting the project in his first term.

A billionaire who privately owns a competing bridge met with Howard Lutnick just days before Trump announced his opposition.

Funny how that works.

More back-sliding on climate: Carney is eliminating the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard that would have mandated 100% EVs by 2035. New target is 75% EVs by 2035, 90% by 2040 but it's not clear if not-yet-finalized policy will achieve this www.canada.ca/en/innovatio...

Donald Trump invites Americans to believe there’s no money left to make health care affordable while he spends billions of taxpayer dollars to hire masked ICE & Border Patrol agents to intimidate, attack, arrest & even kill our people.

Mr. President, we reject these authoritarian priorities.

Retiring Walmart CEO Doug McMillon made $27M last year, over 930 times the median Walmart worker's salary of just $29,469.

Walmart's wages are so low that its workers are among the most likely to rely on SNAP and Medicaid to get by.

Hello?

The corruption....the evil....the grift of people who trust him. The Trump name will be disgraced and America will never admit he was our President. Bring it on Donald.

ICE is running a β€œconveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

ICE isn’t in Minneapolis because of an immigration crisis, they're there because of a Fox News talking point.

Democrats' demand that Stephen Miller is fired as a condition of voting for ICE funding is one of the smartest moves they've made under Trump.

Miller is a loathsome figure who I imagine has rock-bottom likability numbers. Democrats should try to raise his public salience as often as possible.

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think.

But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

You can't make me afraid. Immigrants. They commit crimes 10x less than citizens. I don't fear them.
Drugs? Oh please, you want to tell me it's ok to buy 10 gallons of vodka but not a joint? I don't fear them.
The only thing I truly fear in 2026 are the Evangelical Christians and their faux leader.

Tell Congress: Demand Speaker Johnson hold a vote IMMEDIATELY on the ACA tax credit extension Contact Congress today!

Happy New Year To Everyone, Including the UNHINGED LOSER "Tiny" Mike Johnson, whoβ€”despite his best but pitiful effortsβ€”will fail miserably to stop us from extending ACA tax credits in January.

Now's the time to get loud about it:

It appears the whole Putin β€œUkraine tried to kill me with 91 drones last night” was entirely made up. And of course Trump repeated it and said he was mad at Ukraine.

Nightly Russia launched drones and missiles at innocent people.

And tried to Kill Zelensky every day

Some lawmakers criticize DOJ release of Epstein files, say 'fails to comply' with law Several members of Congress criticized the Department of Justice's release of some of the files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Donald Trump and the DOJ are breaking federal law by continuing to cover up for Jeffrey Epstein's decades-long, billion-dollar, international sex trafficking ring.
