What a pathetic man child...
“It is unlikely that any of these ships will ever be built. This is vaporware. No different than the Foxconn mega-plant in Wisconsin, or all of the iPhones that are just about to be made in America, or the addition of Canada as the 51st state...”

I feel this in my bones…

THE AMERICAN WORKER IS ALL OF US. Black, white, Latino, Asian, Native, immigrant, union or not. Not the “working class” stereotype.

We built this country. We keep it running. Stop dividing. Start recognizing.

I have a lot to say

Well done, sir...
It is unsettling. What’s her name?
Deeply unsettled by this older photo of Mike Johnson with a beard.

So tired of the Right always falling back on the demonization of Socialism. It's much easier to justify policies that hurt Americans when you raise the specter of "Socialism."

I'm confident none of the House members that voted to condemn it have the slightest idea of what it really is...
Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Now, this is something I can get behind!!!

Of course. That's what you get when media outlets exist not to objectively report the news but to push forward an ideology...
If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground.

At least three weeks

I think that pretty well sums it up...

I love this!
We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Good lord, this man is an imbecile...
Trump on the United Nations: “The only thing I got from them was a blank teleprompter…They did it on purpose. And I think I gave my best speech. That's what I was told…Not great people.”

It's been a loooong time since I have felt hopeful while reading posts on this site.

But after the victories by Mamdani, Sherrill, and Spanberger, my hope and determination have been renewed.

The ending of the GOP supermajority in Mississippi even gives me hope for my very red home state of Utah!
November 5, 2025 at 8:26 PM
What a great example that the power is still in the hands of the people, even in the face of ridiculous amounts of money being thrown at the mayoral race by NY billionaires!
The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

It's apparent that F0x News doesn't evaluate what they put on the air. The only test is that does it support Trump or further his talking points...
October 20, 2025 at 5:40 PM
WOW! I can't believe that the Republican-led congress hasn't been more vocal about "activist judges". What gives???

It's almost like they are in favor of the Supreme Court governing from the bench this time...

I don't think this guy knows where he's at most of the time. Ask him something outside of the standard MAGA talking points and he freezes.

This quote sums up the entire Republican-led approach to governing while controlling the executive, house, and senate. All they care about is holding on to power, and enriching themselves.

ABSOLUTELY! The failure of the mainstream media to push back on the barrage of lies has emboldened the liars to continue, and even increase, their stream of BS...
Credit where credit is due. We need more of this every day from everyone. Stop letting them lie.
George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

NO MORE BULLSHIT.

The Republicans in congress have bet their futures on an unwell and narcissistic moron. They will continue to stay with him until it starts to damage their ability to hang on to power.
He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it.

But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.
MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

I can't believe this is real!!!

Oh wait, yes I can...
