How can anyone believe ANYTHING said by a Democratic senator or Rep moving forward? They are irredeemably tainted by their party’s actions.

The status quo delivered us to this moment of fascist acceleration. As Democratic elites in Washington keep proving, they have nothing to offer but behavior that abets and fosters more of the same. Their trajectory is as fixed as the right's.

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

I hope there’s a good count on the weapons, cuz certain elements of the admin are not above selling stuff that might not be theirs.
About 1,400 workers will be cut from the agency, which is responsible for overseeing the US nuclear weapons stockpile.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Don’t expect white male supremacists and their lackeys to abandon their leader over pedophilia and trafficking. Remember their answer to murdered school children is to sell schools bulletproof white boards and gun training for teachers. Theirs is a sick world view.

While gutting the middle class thru tax policy, tariffs/inflation, and corporate love affairs with machine workers, the system is setting up cops/govt oppressors as the few remaining good paying gigs that is currently hiring.
