If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.

So like, this is extremely close to explicitly saying Germans shouldn’t be ashamed of the Third Reich, right?

Well Nancy, our brief alliance when you were getting rid of Biden was nice while it lasted.
Nancy Pelosi is retiring from Congress, but she has more campaigns in mind. Among them: Boost Gavin Newsom as a potential contender for the White House in 2028.
Pelosi's new campaign: Boost Newsom for 2028
Publicly and privately, Pelosi has been touting the California governor.

I support banning the presidential pardon. It’s been abused by both parties.

Every major world religion has this as a core tenant of its belief system. Every single one. It’s amazing how universal this concept is and how this administration is trying to make us completely abandon it
This city is home to people of countless faiths. But no matter what you believe, one thing unites us: we are all New Yorkers. We will not allow ICE to terrorize our neighbors.

Watching the 2004 debates and it’s wild how well Kerry did in all three lol. Dude was prepared and was a very good debater. Bush seems desperate and was only passionate about Iraq and the War on Terror.
I’m just marveling that this race wasn’t a comfortable Kerry victory

“AOC is not pro apartheid genocide state”’ is one hell of a line to go with with 2028 democratic primary voters
In case you were wondering what one of the major lines of attack on AOC will be in 2028, it won't be about Taiwan or populism but about her belief that Israel isn't entitled to free and unlimited military assistance from the US

Liberalism was largely a successful international strategy. The fact that France Germany and Italy are close allies of each other, that the EU exists, and that millions of people in most European countries (with the horrific exception of Ukraine) are not at risk of dying in battle is a good thing.
People should not be surprised that someone like AOC talks about the international liberal order. After all, a progressive Democrat from New York helped build the postwar liberal order.

If you want Matt Yglesias to have a direct line to the White House, vote for Gavin Newsom. If that thought terrifies you, as it should, vote for someone else

random reminder that Brett Kavanaugh was accused of rape by multiple women and Clarence Thomas was accused of sexual harassment by multiple women.
Neither is in the epstein files afaik, but it seems like sexual violence against women should matter even so. 1

Had a colon cancer home test kit lying around for a few weeks and there was never a convenient time to actually use it.
I just did the test and sent it out, to honor the memory of James Van der Beek.
Do all the recommended tests, y’all. Prevention is often inconvenient but it saves lives.

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

AOC has very, very few *personal* enemies on Capitol Hill, even though she is in a tiny minority of members of the House who share her political convictions (Wallace/Debs type soc dem). That's very telling
anybody currently raging about Newsom needs to be stopped better get on board or I might think your outrage is a tad performative

They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.
