My lines in the sand for 2028:

1) Universal healthcare
2) Ending military support for Israel (barring a major change in Gaza)
3) Aggressive prosecution of the Trump Administration

I will not support a Democrat that does not do these things. I am fed up with failure.

We should name future pandemics after members of the Trump Administration the way the Weather Service just started naming blizzards.

It's not enough to be against Trump - we need a movement that is actually FOR something.

Unsurprisingly, using Gemini to try to turn off Gemini in Gmail is not working.

We need to get Curtis Sliwa at the Guardian Angels out on the street protecting American citizens and 5-year-olds from ICE's crimes.

This party is lost. They're actively losing support even as Trump and Republicans' popularity tanks. They have majority public support on yet another key issue of the day, and refuse to embrace it. They're babes in the wood, unaware of the dangers people across the political spectrum can see.
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms

1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.

2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.

3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

Imagine being world famous, next to no one ever having heard your voice, and this is what you do.
The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

I have no problem with Crockett, and love her passion. I think Talarico has a better shot, and had momentum. But primaries exist for a reason and she can take her shot.

But I absolutely loathe the "reverse MAGA" card that some Dems are using around race and gender.

Hello, my Senator - is this police funding going to result in this ICE agent being arrested, or no?

Public safety means stopping violent crime — not weaponizing ICE against our communities.

That’s why I'm proposing a bill that redirects nearly $75 billion from ICE to local law enforcement.

Not to yuck anyone's (everyone's?) yum, but I don't get the fuss about The Pitt. Every couple years we get a story about a "great" new medical show, more realistic than ever, and all I ever see is the same, repetitive formula.

What am I missing?

It's infuriating that The Great British Baking Show (aka, Bake Off) calls the episode with 5 bakers left the quarterfinals, and 4 left the semifinals, just so they can have 3 in the "finals."
