You are being manipulated into spreading propaganda that will keep people home during the midterms. You are actively engaging in voter suppression when you share this garbage.
Please stop.
Watch for the country to eventually emerge from this horrifically expensive Iran war (cost measured lives, suffering, and dollars), when Republicans will call for even deeper cuts to education, health care, social security, and other programs that help the Americans who paid for the war.
Hegseth attacks the press because he has deluded himself into believing he worked as a journalist, when he was just a TV personality.
Wow I can really see why it’s so important to stay on twitter
God, this is sad. He attended a "military-style boarding school." Then got four draft deferments, followed by a medical exemption for bone spurs. Title 10 makes it illegal for him to wear a military uniform.

You must understand. Survivors have been telling us for decades now that it did not start with concentration camps. It started with hate speech, speech that was sanctioned by the state, speech that issued by the state. It started with speech and was followed by increasingly discriminatory laws.
NEW: A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill requiring warrants for FBI searches of Americans' communications under FISA, aligning federal law w/ a 2025 ruling that found the practice unconstitutional.
It would also ban the government from buying Americans' private data from data brokers.
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.
(🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)
God, the idiocy is at record levels. I apologize to the FBI professionals who are forced to endure this.
Another word you might use for it is "looting".
"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

It would be hilarious if he's just guessing size 14 for everyone.
Share of election spending by billionaires before Citizens United: 0.3%
Share of election spending by billionaires in 2024: 19%
It is not a coincidence that we're about to get our first trillionaire while working people struggle to afford rent, groceries, and healthcare.
🚨 I just submitted my testimony. It's not showing up yet, but the vast majority of the testimony on the site is opposed, which is **very bad.**
Please submit testimony on CT HB 5044 - how to do so is at the end of the 🧵 below. Here is what I wrote, if you want to crib (See below):

"Historians may well mark February 28, 2026 as an important turning point -- the day that the modern era of Congressional oversight aimed at checking executive branch overreach in foreign affairs ended."
"Perhaps “America” is just the silly name we give to a sprawling expanse of sacred land that’s hosted many names—a “real” American being someone who stewards that physical land & nonhuman life that’s filled it since long before Vance’s oldest white American ancestor had a species to emerge within."
"Far-right ideas like Vance’s can’t be safely ignored—especially if they hold a grain of truth. As dumb & deadly as the heritage American label is, it draws on something the political left has long recognized: US citizenship is often unstable and arbitrary-incomplete, unsatisfactory, & even a lie."
"It is a rejection—which Vance explicitly affirms in his speeches—of the notion that America is principally “an idea,” or a nation formed by a shared creed. In other words, it’s a rejection of the dominant and long-standing interpretation of Lincoln."
"If this idea sounds equal parts stupid and dangerous, you’ve understood it correctly."
"The idea is that a distinct natl identity emerged sometime between the early colonial period & mid-19th century & this identity, preserved through bloodlines, deserves special privilege today. One far-right writer said: “Heritage American is more palatable to the public than ‘white.’”
Because you sickos love this, here's the updated flip count in legislative seats since the start of Trump's second term, following tonight's Dem win in New Hampshire:

how is "mayor chooses his words carefully" a NYT story but "president chooses his words like a haunted magic 8 ball on meth" not
It's obvious that it's not about cost. Hard to see this as anything other than contempt for their workers.
Starbucks spent $240 million on union busting last year. If they'd chosen not to fight unionization, every worker could have gotten $630 instead. If their CEO made less than $96 million a year (the avg worker makes $15k), the company could give workers all of what they've asked for.
"This is a time of growth for our institution, and we will continue to press forward with a momentum matched only by that of the hippopotamus as it rampaged through the theater department last Thursday."
TRUMP BELIEVES UNEMPLOYMENT WILL DROP TO ZERO NEXT WEEK AND GASOLINE WILL BE FREE. #BREAKING
Did Trump know what the Strait of Hormuz was before last week?
I'm not sure how we amend our democracy without getting rid of Citizens United.
Gorgeous!
