I’ve been following her since she was first elected to Congress. She made some mistakes early on, but learned fast, and is a lot more savvy today. Her energy, determination, integrity, sense of humor, and optimism give me hope.

I would say that this is a laughably lame lie that not even a child would believe, but MAGAts have demonstrated repeatedly that they’ll swallow whatever ridiculous nonsense is shoveled their way, so… 🙄

Lawless, unprofessional, incompetent assholes! 🤬

In any credible organization, there’d be a full investigation, and people involved would resign or be fired.

If you still think Mike Johnson won't be up for some fuckery in 2026, just look at how he's treating Adelita Grijalva

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

If we ever have another Democratic President, you can be sure that the press will write long editorials questioning their fitness and urging them to resign every time they so much as sneeze. 🙄

That’s right. Republicans have no credibility. They have demonstrated repeatedly that their word means nothing. They would gleefully accept Democratic votes to reopen the government, then go back on their word next year.

BREAKING: ICE agents just abducted a press camera operator in Chicago.

WGN-TV’s Debbie Brockman was dragged to the ground, cuffed and bundled into a van - which then rammed her vehicle to escape.

What the hell is happening in America?

…and lying about an organization that *he knows* doesn’t even exist.

The man has no honor or integrity.

Many would laugh at that list and say that it will never happen, even with a Democratic majority, but I think that we’re beyond small adjustments and fixes on the margins. We need to make significant changes to save democracy in America.

Unfortunately, because of this indictment, she may have to abstain from any direct involvement in any future legal action against Trump.

This is the disadvantage of people who are honorable and who respect laws and norms, vs Trump and his cronies who don’t.

I disagree that elections don’t affect them, because a successful election would increase the likelihood of implementing the actions that I listed above.

This is why there’s so much fuss about Mamdani. He isn’t controlled by the oligarchs and his agenda is pro-people, which terrifies them.

• Expand the Supreme Court to the current number of federal circuit courts (13), as was done in the past
• Enact new voting rights legislation

• New legislation to reverse the effects of Citizens United.
• Beef up antitrust enforcement
• Update and toughen laws regarding concentration of media ownership
• Crank up the marginal tax rates to what they were in the 50s

Yep - Trump and the corrupt Republican Party are the symptom, the oligarchs are the source.

It’s perverse that the Democratic Party’s respect for the press & the first amendment makes a Democratic President more susceptible to being torn apart by MSM, because the press feels safe in doing so, whereas they feel threatened when criticizing a Republican president, so they pull in their horns.
