A Fort Worth church's efforts to mobilize Christian conservatives through a political training program comes at a pivotal moment, as Republicans seek to maintain control of the nation’s largest urban red county.

Like the Koch brothers and other conservative billionaires, Dunn and Wilks want to slash regulations and taxes.

Their endgame, however, is more radical: not just to limit the government but also to steer it toward Christian rule.

What’s interesting is that human brains are hard wired for empathy—it serves a very important social and biological purpose as connection is vital for our survival—to lose empathy for most people, it must be trained out of you, systematically and consistently

Across the country, voters support many of Zohran Mamdani's ideas, including:

-Increasing taxes on the rich
-Universal childcare
-Freezing rent
-Raising the minimum wage

Everything Democrats do must focus on enacting popular policies that help working people.

That is the path forward.

Trump giving Bill Clinton a blowjob is not illegal. However, Putin owning photos of these acts and using them as Kompromat and blackmail as implied in the Epstein emails is a national security catastrophe. As well as both being part of the Epstein rape trafficking network.

I mean, you can all see it too right?

AI companies are playing a shell game with a ticking debt bomb, all while trying to get the Trump admin to buy stakes. Which they are.

They know it's a bubble and are working to stick taxpayers with the bill.

You can see this happening in real time.

Super dishonest take from the @nytimes.com

I have never read or heard anything about the trans-Atlantic slave trade that doesn't acknowledge this fact. Also in The Woman King (a hit movie from two years ago) this is an explicit plot point.

Hey #MAGA

You love asking, "What are they hiding?"

"Only guilty people have something to hide," right?

Are you saying that now?

Notice how nobody in the Trump regime ever asks, “But how will we pay for it?” when it comes to priorities that benefit them?

What if instead of Cyber Monday (aka Daddy Bezos Day), we did a Support Indie Media Monday?

What are your favorite indie publications? Who are some of your favorite freelance and indie reporters and commentators?

Can we make this a thing?

One thing I have questions about: If the Trump admin could just roll right in and dismantle the IRA just a few years after it passed, why couldn't Biden have removed the deficit exploding 2017 Trump tax cuts when he got in?

I need a law wonk to answer that.

Chuck Schumer and Jeffries need to resign or be voted out. They held onto this information and only released it now to save face after the backlash from them caving.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Bernie Sanders has fought for working families since Day One.

He's built a movement that is taking on corporate special interests and fighting for an economy that works for everyone. I'm proud to join that movement.

I'm honored to have earned his endorsement of my campaign for US Senate.

“And if [a deal on health care] is not successful, then shame on the Republican party and shame on Donald Trump." added Shaheen.

@shaheen.senate.gov if your strategy is to rely on narcissists and sycophants to feel shame, then you need to resign. You are not built for this moment in history.

Our liberties and our laws are under unprecedented assault by the ultra-rich who consolidated power and favor right-wing ideology.

Our founding fathers agreed with an estate tax to stop the rise of aristocracy. I don't think they ever could have conceived that one could form within a generation.

Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader.

He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him

And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
