The fact that Trump is calling Mace and Boebert today pleading with them to remove their names from the Epstein petition at the last minute tells you everything you need to know about how incriminating the info in the files is to him and his cronies.

Since 1952, John McCrae’s passage has been displayed above the dressing room stalls of the Montreal Canadiens. It was placed there by then Habs GM Frank Selke Sr.
The poem remains significant every Remembrance Day.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

We already have minimal options as far as food that isn't loaded with hormones, antibiotics and other chemicals. The European market doesnt allow those things. So, by losing out on European goods, that is one less nutritious option on the shelf. Bad food rots brains and ruins health.

If I were @schumer.senate.gov, I would not agree to help Republicans fund this regime on the "promise" of an ACA vote at a later date. It didn't work the last time when they promised to fund DC. It won't work this time either. The House won't touch it.

There is no Dem who thinks that Schumer voting No washes his hands of it. He is the captain of the ship and owns the process and end result. If he can’t run the team, then someone else needs to. Hopefully the other Dem senators understand the mood of the voters. If not, you will.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

A deeply insecure unqualified child is in charge of our military because Trump thought he looked like “central casting” when he saw him on Fox, and he knew he is a weak minded fool who will eagerly cater to all Trump’s worst ideas and impulses.

Yea, well until we the people start to take back our power from the elites, there will be more of the same.
3 times in the past 2 weeks, a WashPost editorial "has taken on matters in which Bezos has a financial or corporate interest without noting his stake. In each case, the Post's editorial line landed in sync with its owner's interests"

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

there are good & worthwhile historical & legal arguments for why the unitary executive is nonsense but to my mind the most straightforward argument is that it makes no logical sense that the president has absolute removal power over the people whose job it is to keep the executive branch accountable
The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable.
Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.
