Gavin Newsom is wrong, we need to tax the rich.

There are now 2,900 billionaires, and they hold $15.8 trillion.

The wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, over 4 billion people, is estimated at $3.7 trillion.

The Democratic Party must stand for something.

Trump murders people he accuses of being drug traffickers, even if they don't receive a trial by jury. But one who did get a trial by jury, and was found guilty of flooding the United States with cocaine, Donald Trump claims was the victim of a witch hunt, and pardoned him.

The militarization of local police forces and subsequent use of military as law enforcement might not be a coincidence.

It is wrong for one person, the president, to have authority to decree, based on his own racist opinions, which people are allowed into this country.

It says sheriff, but it looks like an armored soldier to me. Demilitarize the police.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Thank you for clearly speaking in defense of my healthcare. Your colleagues are remarkably gullible to trust Republicans.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

This is satire, but it sums up the local reaction to Prop 50 passing.

Of course the president can’t subvert the Constitution by lying that there’s an emergency. If lying that there’s an emergency is a magic loophole granting the executive branch the powers of Congress, there’s no point to Article I.

The fact that this is even a question is a sign of degradation.

Doug is not known for his intelligence. He is known for bumbling through Republican talking points, taking farm subsidies, and being a huge hypocrite.
