For the next four years, we should be hell-bent on ensuring that the next DNC Chair and 2028 candidate have an ambitious, progressive platform. Anything less is a disservice to the American people.

Who gave $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund?

-Each of the 5 biggest tech firms
-The CEOs of Uber & OpenAI
-Auto giants Toyota, Ford, & GM
-Drugmaker behemoth Pfizer

Corporate America is desperate to kiss the ring.

There's nothing they won’t do for a tax break.

as much as i would love to see the US finally take over tim hortons once and for all, i can't imagine this would be beneficial to republicans and growing their base (unless this is just a clever way to deflect from actually delivering to the american people once again bc they still can't govern)

even though we all saw this coming, it is so jarring to see crackpot ventures like this be trump's obsession instead of giving an ounce of effort to - i don't know - improve the lives and wellbeing of americans

"as long as it's wars WE create" - probably the average response

Makes you wonder how much of this is actual lunacy versus deflection against actually doing beneficial work for the American people...

Trump's transition is happening over private emails. Federal officials are nervous. Agencies are weighing in-person requirement for sensitive data.

i recall a time when using a private email server was the single greatest scandal in american history. i guess today’s it’s just tuesday www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

I don’t see how we can rely on news organizations ever again if they choose to bend the knee to Trump instead of holding firm to facts - no matter how litigious circumstances may be.

But then the only answers the 8 ball says is β€œlooking into it” and β€œconcerning”

"You're telling me not everyone can subsidize their healthcare costs?"

To be fair, understanding all the inner workings of the federal government must be pretty difficult when your only experience with it involves being the benefactor of billions in subsidies!

Maybe he should use that same logic for when voters were misinformed on Issue 1 by the ballot language LaRose crafted.

the β€œkeep politics out of sports” crowd sure got quiet when it involved their candidate (and also the most cringey dance imaginable) #USMNT
