A veteran's powerful truth: "Donald Trump is the biggest threat to veterans alive today." We fully agree. He's betrayed their service, slashing earned benefits & dignity. Unacceptable! #VeteransDay

Federal jury awards $112M to immigrants detained by Suffolk for ICE A federal jury found the county and the Sheriff's Office violated the Constitutional rights of 674 people.

Wow, a Long Island jury awarded $112 Million to 674 immigrants who were unlawfully held by county police so they could be handed over to ICE

Listen, think what you want about Hakeem Jeffries. I know I’ve had my fair share of disagreements.

But even after Schumer caved and betrayed all of us, Hakeem is whipping votes on the House floor to try and block this shitty deal and protect Americans’ healthcare. That’s worth a lot.

There is a dangerous lack of moderation of underage women that are being depicted in sexual contexts.

Sora 2 is enabling more and more inappropriate content to spread across the platform, disproportionately affecting women.

Trump and Republicans found billions for Argentina and millions more for a tacky ballroom.

But they can’t find any to lower Americans’ costs or protect their health care?

Their priorities are clear and the American people aren’t on the list.

With the elections last week, the Dems did a great job of slapping down the orange ogre. With the agreement this week, they picked him up, dusted him off and practically apologized. What a stupid waste of momentum. For nothing!

Every time you capitulate to a bully, they'll come back at you twice as brutally.

If you didn't learn this life lesson in third grade, GTFO of the US Senate.

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.

Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.

Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.

Democrats held the cards β€” and folded for no reason.

Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt.

Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like.

Deals with this regime are meaningless.

Even if the Senate voted to extend ACA subsidies, the GOP-controlled House is unlikely to allow a vote on them.

And there's of course no guarantee that Trump would even go along with a deal.

The cruel irony is that this will end up hurting Republican states the most.

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax β€” a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.

Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.

Reverse Robin Hood.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable β€”not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Per Donald Trump, 300 million Americans died last year because of drugs. That leaves 40 million of us living in the US. This man is fucked in the head we only have a population of 340 million.
