Americans don’t like the word “appeasement.”
It carries WWII resonance and instantly signals capitulation to an adversary.
Even among right-leaning voters, “being soft on Russia” is one of the few remaining red lines.
It will become a defining stain for this government, not a one-day scandal.👇

The #dwts judges are so obviously trying to rig this for Robert Irwin. Alix Earle was better in the head to head. By a lot. Irwin’s earlier dance was not worth all 10s. He’s a boring dancer who mugs for the camera, does something very weird with his neck while he dances, and breaks frame.

For people with cancer who won't get the care they need

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.
Democrats swept all 13.
That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).
They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.

Now it's time for Democrats to build on the momentum and push Trump and his Congressional sycophants on the shutdown. Democrats must hold the line on ACA subsidies and ensure that government employees get paid for the time lost in the shutdown. It's the right thing to do, morally and politically.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been.

Americans are falling behind on their bills at rates not seen in years. Credit card debt quietly crossed the $1 trillion mark in 2023. Buy Now Pay Later services are a rising threat. Nearly 1-in-5 Americans are in crushing medical debt.
