Only the most ignorant and cruel Americans are supporting Republicans now.
He wants to starve you and your family, deny you healthcare, and intimidate your kids with jackbooted thugs while he builds a ballroom for himself and his pals, runs multibillion-dollar crypto scams, throws grotesque Great Gatsby-themed balls in Florida, and redecorates a House you pay for like this

Mamdani wouldn’t have made it out of the primary if he’d had a quality opponent.
The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

A couple months back, I was curious as to how Bill Pulte was able to obtain Lisa Cook and Letitia James' mortgage documents. Today, the WSJ reports that he was actually under investigation for how he obtained them. www.wsj.com/finance/regu...

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

I’m with you. Let’s divide the Democrats and let Republicans win. That’ll teach those inept losers a lesson they won’t forget in 5 years.
anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle

The accusations contradict the Trump administration’s insistence that deportees were not being mistreated in El Salvador.

Math is challenging for Republicans. Maybe that explains how their economic policies failed our nation for decades.
More fun with Trumpy numbers.
He's floated sending $2,000 checks to every household, "except rich ones," whatever that means, financed by tariff revenues.
It would cost $265 billion. Tariff revenue since Liberation Day has totaled $151 billion.
Bit of a shortfall.

Maybe those working people are the democracy but they are paying more attention to sports data than political data.

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.
Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.
We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

The felon was asking military recruits to take an oath he has dishonored most of his corrupt life. I feel sorry for those in uniform whom he uses as props in a reality show.
Exactly right. Why should we respect a president who doesn’t respect the constitution he swore an oath to uphold?

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.
