I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

Taken literally, the nation’s top intelligence official announced — on a right-wing podcast — that my decision to stop posting on Twitter is evidence that I am not “innocent” and am therefore being reviewed by the DOJ, with the aim of holding me “accountable.” www.democracydocket.com/opinion/im-n...

Socialist handouts for me, concentration camps for thee.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "As a state rep, I get paid about $600 a month. That's not much to live off of. Many of my colleagues, including myself, we have day jobs that help us pay the bills. And by breaking quorum, we are leaving those day jobs behind... So this decision was not made lightly."

He knows better. It's funny how he's willing to bend the knee and make a fool of himself.

Why is there no police report and why didn’t the Australian police charge her husband?

Please pay attention.👇

We cannot afford to leave our democracy in the hands of a process that requires this DOJ to act in good faith. We must act now to harden our election systems. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

He will want his face on a coin next.

A permanent resident who has lived in the US for decades has been detained at the border for over a week without any explanation, which is in violation of his Constitutional rights.

Trying to figure out what this ad for adulterous vacations has to do with Homeland Security

This is all fantasy. There is no country giving us anything. These are all just goals and hopes just like the empty promises about private investment in the US he got from countries last term. Let us know the date the $550B & $750B checks from Japan and EU get here.

the asshole likely would have never become POTUS again.

She is no victim.
