In their last poll, Yale Polling drew national attention for documenting the rightward shift among young voters in 2024.

No one deserves being handed land of a sovereign nation, especially when they instigated an unprovoked, immoral war.
This is the cost russia has paid to lose more territory than they claimed in the first days of this war, and it’s approaching 4 years.
They are losers.
No one deserves being handed land of a sovereign people for such losses.

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen.
Help us move the needle!

I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water.
