I talk about news and politics. Social democrat. Progressive member of the Democratic Party.
This is inexcusable.
Hours after a 1-on-1 phone call with Justice Alito, Trump submits a request for an emergency stay on his criminal hush money sentencing hearing. Alito claims it was a reference check for his law clerk wanting a job with Trump . . . but the timing couldn't be shadier. www.cnn.com/2025/01/08/p...

Let’s talk about Direct File.
It’s a free, easy way for people to file their taxes directly online with IRS.
You keep your tax refund — rather than paying $150 to a sleazy tax prep company.
It’s more efficient!
But these Republicans want you to keep wasting money on TurboTax.

Donald Trump is a Large Language Model. When prompted his mouth flies open before any actual thought has time to take place. The autocomplete he pretends to think with sprays forth like a Markov chain trained on decades of Fox News and Facebook shitposts, powered by cheeseburders and cocaine.

How many children who are natural born citizens are going to be put into foster care when their parents are deported? I'm sure our conservative friends will be happy to pony up to expand the welfare state to provide for them.

Parents are going to have to choose whether to leave their children and hope for the best or take them to a third world country they fled.
He can’t do this and it’s clearly unconstitutional. We need to call it out, organize, and support the orgs on the ground who will be on the frontline. We will NOT stand by and allow this to happen.
Trump: I don't want to break up the family, so the only way you don't break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.

This is why we need universal healthcare.
The events of this week should be a wake up call to UHC leadership: they're behavior is so harmful to so many that many Americans are cheering on a killer.
They won't do that introspection because it would mean not min-maxing on shareholder value.
