For the US to be a democracy, we must start by revoking citizens united. Will Democrats do this if they win in 26 and 28?

You are correct & it is the point of flooding the world w/ insanity. But the Legacy news has no excuse. They are 24hr/day, 7 days/week news channels. Most days the news at 8am is the same as 3pm. they could spend each hour on a different topic & still have a recap each hour

Who still believes in the grand illusion of democracy? Say the Dems win in 26 & in 28, what then? Ds & Rs are 2 sides of the same coin. 1 marginally better but both owned by money & influence. We need a new party, if not a new form of govt unless Dems repeal citizens united & a whole host of others

Doesn’t matter how big he makes his cheesy ballroom or how many buildings he (temporarily) forces his name onto—the lead of his legacy will be Epstein, all of the crimes and layers of grotesquerie.
Massie: "Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."

To all the doomers in my replies.
Get ready to fight or serve the oligarchs in perpetuity.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Correct. Now is the time to be very clear on the fact that you don't give a fucking inch to fascists. Not on anything. Not ever. Everything they are doing is per se illegitimate. The very minimum you demand is an immediate, across-the-board return to regular democratic order and norms. Nothing less.
There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

I would love to stand before #Congress & ask them to explain why premiums are rising, why it is nigh impossible to get fire insurance in Ca, Hurricane insurance in coastal areas, & fire & tornado Insurance in landlocked States. The insurance companies believe in #climatechange. Why not #POTUS?
Energy bills are rising. So are insurance costs from extreme weather.
Policy choices affect what families pay every month.
Clean energy investments help lower long-term costs and protect public health.

Q: Can you confirm that CBP actually hit a party balloon it thought was a drone with a laser? And why wasn't that coordinated with the FAA?
KRISTI NOEM: You know, this was a joint agency task force, um, mission that was undertaken. And um, we're continuing to work on communication

The look of anger followed by an inauthentic smile and deflection because she knows if she answers the question any way other than truthfully she will be perjuring herself and eventually held in contempt. This was the best 'trap' question of the entire deposition

Does anyone find it surprising he is describing the way most politicians & opposition members die in Russia? So this is what it has come to, every Dem & R must state they are not suicidal, in the event they are found dead? Fortunately, ICE is too incompetent to carry out KGB methods
