I've been a liberal since I voted for Carter in '76, with the exception of voting for Reagan in '80 (I bought into his💩 , but woke up quickly). I'm encouraged by a new generation of Democrats who are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in.

When social safety nets like universal health care that have been proven to work over & over worldwide are accused of being radical ideas that won't work in USA, then either accusers are lying to Americans, or they're the reason USA is so broken that proven social safety nets won't work.
Or both 🤔

Kash Patel made the FBI buy a custom fleet of armored BMW X5 for him to ride around in. trib.al/9pBbwTB
Patel’s FBI spokesperson claimed—without evidence—that this is actually saving the American taxpayer money. The standard version of the X5 costs about $70,000.

The rich and powerful don’t get their wages garnished when they default on a loan. They declare bankruptcy and end up paying pennies on the dollar, if anything. Like Trump did many, many times.

I’ve heard most journalists and politicians say that Trump hasn’t been directly accused of wrongdoing or implicated in the Epstein Files.
But, there are repeated instances of Trump being directly named as a perpetrator—by victims and by Epstein. It’s not circumstantial, it’s direct.

As a Jew, it’s fun watching the administration post Christian nationalist messages while also saying they are doing everything they can to curb antisemitism.
