You know what would clean up DC crime greatly? Remove his entire staff, appointees, cabinet, vp, and himself.

It’s up to us to replace those in congress who condone these criminals.

IRS Commissioner Billy Long replaced after less than two months The Trump administration has replaced former Missouri Congressman Billy Long as IRS Commissioner, after less than two months on the job. It's the latest in a string of management shakeups at the tax ...

IRS head Billy Long replaced after less than two months, given ambassadorship to Iceland.

Soon to become a meme…

“Before leaving the discussion of this meeting, it is worth noting the grotesque impropriety of the Attorney General of the United States participating in a strategy meeting designed to rehabilitate a convicted child sex trafficker (Ghislaine Maxwell) at the same time that the DOJ has refused to pursue perpetrators and co-conspirators identified in Epstein’s files.”

Grocery bills are rising as the planet cooks American families are feeling the pinch at the supermarket.

Remember when the big issue of the day was the price of eggs?

My groceries last week were double what they were a year ago and the only thing I buy on the list below is coffee.

Wow, it’s almost as if oligarchs have systematically recreated the oppressive unjust class systems that our ancestors fled. Those systems made life so unbearable they sacrificed everything for the hope of a better life.

Trump’s mental decline is undeniable — so what now? hemselves, that there is a problem, just as Biden’s supporters did for him.    Donald Trump is showing all the signs of suffering from dementia. If this were a neighbor, a parent, or a family frien…

It’s about time the media talks about his rapidly increasing descent into dimentia

Signs of life in the Democratic Party! July 30, 2025

From Robert Hubbell today:

If you live in NV, MN, CA, NY, NJ, IL or CT, llet Senators Cortez Masto (202-224-3542) and Amy Klobuchar (202-224-3244) know how feel about a bill that threw 25% of Americans under the bus.

I don't want to save The Late Show. Fuck CBS. I just want Colbert to land somewhere good and continue his work.

We’re on our own. Public-owned banks can help. Been following since 2017 and have watched momentum build.

Imagine, a bank that returns a community’s wealth to the community.

US Capitol with two pieces of crime scene tape across the front.

Best quote ever about the Big Horrible Bill by Sen. Whitehouse @whitehouse.senate.gov on the Senate floor:

“This place feels to me, today, like a crime scene. Get some of that yellow tape and put it around this chamber. This piece of legislation is corrupt.”

Choose your answer:

1) Not remembering this disqualifies him due to cognitive impairment

2) Given he surely was prepped for this, he’s surely lying, which disqualifies him.

Similar topic of conversation in a political book club discussion last weekend. There is a better way of messaging than dems have been doing.

DNC, are you listening?

Constituents are mad and worried about Medicaid cuts now, but according to mitch mcconnell they’ll “get over it.”

Yes because, according to joanie ernst, “everybody dies.”

The regressive party’s new slogan, “Don’t like it? Die and get over it.”
