Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."
Senator Warren is correct. The reason our country is so charged with hate now stems directly from Trump. He is a hateful, evil human who leads by example.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

Sorry Buddy, you don’t do studies “to make the proof”. You do studies to find out what the facts are, so you know what is actually happening.

I would like to see more training on 'how to research'. I keep seeing people who think 'do your own research' means find things that agree with your opinion.

Richard and Laurie Eckman weren’t screaming or being violent. They were just standing outside the ICE building in Portland, holding space at a peaceful protest. Richard even wore his veteran cap. All they were guilty of was standing around with a sign.

Republicans who came to Congress to fight the deficit face attacks for raising it under Trump
WASHINGTON — Republican Rep. Scott Perry, a past chairman of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus, has spent his 12-year career in Congress railing about the ballooning national debt and deficits — what he’s bemoaned as the “bankrupting of America.”But after voting for President Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill,” which is estimated to hike deficits by more than $4 trillion over the next decade, Perry finds himself playing defense on the issue of the skyrocketing national debt.��
