Gen X who spent my early adulthood buying into the Reagan era. Bush X 2 changed my mind. Still hopeful that we will make it through the dark times and recover in 28.

Just saw the new ICE recruitment ad. What a steaming pile of shit. They keep claiming they are getting "the worst criminals" off the streets. If that's true why are they targeting produce fields, home depot parking lots, Hyundai factories, and schools? Fkn pieces of shit.
Does anyone else find it odd that we got 15 updates a day on the Kirk shooter and the ICE facility shooter for like a week then total silence since then?

Kristi Noem has told everyone that there are no U.S citizens being detained or deported & that’s a Blatant Lie like most of what comes out of her mouth. This is just a very short list of U.S. citizens that have been detained since January.

Good job on the data to refute the Walmart BS. Then he proceeds to allow Hassett to redirect to Biden. So close to doing the right thing.
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?

HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--

KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Mamdani’s policies may not work in every race.

But what WILL work is his method:
Listening to voters, connecting with voters.

Not corporations, not lobbyists.
Voters.

New York voters felt that were being heard.
So they showed up at the voting booth.

The chasm between Democratic voters and the people who represented us has become intolerable.

They have no idea who they represent. None.

And we have tolerated that shit for too long!

Primaries in 2026 need to be MASSIVE with fresh people who above all, are committed to keeping corporate

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.

Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.
So Democrats get:

1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays

2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail

3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts

Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

It shows Schumer no longer has the caucus.
It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS "DEAL" Without action on ACA tax credits, it is an empty promise. Republicans do not negotiate in good faith.

Absolutely yes. We have been begging you guys to stand up to the maga bs since it started.
Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Why is this so freaking hard for people to understand? Froot Loops are half the price of Special K.
Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
