Trump orders flags to half mast for Charlie Kirk but wouldn't even call the Gov of Minnesota after Democratic elected officials were killed in Minnesota by a Trump supporter. Democratic lives do not matter to Trump

@ghostofjmadison.bsky.social I got a letter to the editor. How about increasing the size of the house in my local paper

Letter: Want to stop gerrymandering? Expand the House
Gerrymandering — both Republicans and Democrats use it to grab partisan advantage. Voters hate it. It feels like cheating when politicians pick their own voters. And that’s because it is

Here's the path to destroying the GOP's grip on American politics and doing so for the rest of our lives:

1. Uncap the House
2. Admit 4 New States

That's it. No constitutional amendments or convention needed. Dems simply need a trifecta, and the willingness to use it.

5 years ago, #AbolishICE would get you laughed out of a room

Now it's becoming a mainstream position.
My sense is that the 22 agencies that were combined into the new Department of Homeland Security in 2002 generally functioned better before the combination. Isn't it worth seriously considering whether it's time to do away with DHS and disperse its various functions back to DOJ, Treasury, etc?

What I like about Zorhan Mamdani goes beyond his politics, it's that he has humility, and that's a quality I've sorely missed in our leaders.

My questions regarding age verification laws have always been:

1) Isn't there a better way to do this?
2) Why are we not talking about the business model of porn (and social media) sites?

Is the American strategy in Iran not so much regime change, but regime deposement?

In other words, get rid of the regime you don't like, let chaos reign, and worry about what comes next later - years later - as civil war wreaks havoc?

I don’t think this is Trump country. This is our country.

just want to rave about @costplusdrugs.com drugs for a moment, @mcuban.bsky.social ! An asthma medication I take that costs at 4 to 65x as much at other pharmacies? $7.38 with Cost Plus Drugs for a 90 day supply.

Now that's a deal I can get behind.

Look, for over a year, one brave Cassandra was warning you that massive tariffs were coming and that they’d wreak havoc on the economy. But no one listened to Donald Trump.

He gets it. Trump is nothing more than an extortionist.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...
