On Veterans Day, we honor those who put service before self.
To every veteran and their families: Thank you for your courage and sacrifice. Our nation is stronger and safer because of you.

Trump would never do this because he has nothing but scorn for our veterans.
Barack Obama just surprised an entire aircraft full of veterans on Veterans Day.

They have ZERO political instincts at all. They think that social media is real life.
They keep saying the young generation need to take over in government. What I see of this generation, they would be walked over by Trump and the Republicans. All they know how to do is scream about, but no solutions.

People need food. Full stop ✋️
Democrats voted in the Senate to provide that. Let's see if the House passes it. You can decide in November whom to vote for in your area.

When the dust settles on the shutdown deal, Democrats will likely still have the edge
As the Senate moves forward a deal to end the government shutdown, it's time to assess the winners, the losers and what the political fallout might look like into the future.

My leftover char kway teow from last night tasted even better tonight. I added a few dashes of soy sauce plus the leftover peanut sauce from last night’s satay, so maybe that’s why.

Just the other day I saw how Mao Zedong deliberately let people in rural China starve during the Great Leap Forward, saying basically that it was for the common good. Leftists are espousing that same attitude.
Leftist want you to starve for their entertainment.

They’re doubling down on not supporting either Joe or Kamala but refusing to take responsibility for the current situation. That tells me that they were ok with Trump all along.
The far left DSA have a lot of nerve criticizing the Democratic Party when they are the same crowd who was urging voters not to vote for Biden Harris in the last election.

Louder for the liberals and leftists in the back.
Also, the Senate bill strips out the national abortion and trans health care bans.
Feels like that should matter.

It takes a lot of chutzpah and privilege to be trashing eight Democrats when there are people who have gone a month without pay. You want to get mad? Get mad at Republicans for creating this mess in the first place.
My neighbors have missed 3 paychecks. And some still have to go to work. There were no good choices. But forcing senate repubs to pass a bill that reduces harm and that the house has to also pass is a net good strategy. Some of y'all have never had to deal with rock-and-a-hard-place / harm reduction

Indeed it takes a lot of mental gymnastics to blame Dems for getting senate repubs to pass a different bill that provides relief for kids and families when repubs could have just passed the house bill. But some of y'all are conditioned to blame dems instead of repubs and the voters who gave em power
The mental gymnastics are absolutely amazing.
Yeah cause hundreds of thousands of people going without paychecks while SNAP is gutted is totally awesome /s. Also the fact dems got repubs to cave on RIFs and pass a bill that requires the house to now pass is chess while you're a pigeon kicking over checkers pieces.

I finally had a chance to study the new maps now that Prop 50 passed. The new CA40 is going to be a heavily Republican district. No wonder Young Kim and Ken Calvert are trying to out MAGA each other. At least one of them will be out of a job come January 2027.

So much of the hate towards Democrats on this app comes from outside of the U.S, most notably Canada, the U.K., and Australia. They need to worry about their own countries and keep their noses out of our politics.
I swear, we're being gaslit into hating our party by people on Social Media who don't even live here.

Blocking people who demand that Senator Schumer be replaced for voting yes.
"But he voted no."

"Then he should be replaced for not making ALL Dems vote no! AND he can't spin straw into gold!!11!"
LOL. Shifting goalposts = unserious person.

Republicans voted to originally kill the ACA subsidies in their Bad Betrayal Bill. 100% of Democrats voted against it. It still passed.
Republicans voted to completely repeal the ACA 70+ times (failing thanks to Dem solidarity).
Your healthcare costs skyrocketing is ENTIRELY due to the GOP.

Here’s her summary on bills enacted into law just from the last two Congresses, one of which is when the Democrats had the majority. She had ZERO bills become law.

Whenever I’m speaking Spanish, if there’s a word I don’t know what it means in Spanish, I’ll usually ask the person I’m talking to if they know what it it means from the English word. Therefore it hurts my ears when I hear these “No sabos” (IYKYK) making up words that don’t exist.
