Let's be clear ... The U.S. is not mediating peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine; in typical Trump fashion, this Administration is strong-arming one side (Ukraine) to satisfy the demands of the other side (Russia) in compliance with the terms of their partnership. That is not mediation.

So now MTG is leading a FEDERAL TAX REVOLT for this year to stop the Fascist Regime radical spending. This is from MeidasTouch. Which I do agree with her on this. The Regime has been spending money like drunken assholes. The biggest waste is ICE. They want to deport 108 million dark people.

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:
“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Setbacks don’t erase momentum. Democrats proved once again that organization, turnout, and values still matter. This victory isn’t an endpoint — it’s a signal. The future elections are still open, still winnable, and still worth fighting for. Hope doesn’t disappear. It reorganizes.

Did you know that the homicide rate in NYC is roughly 20% the homicide rate in Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee? If you watch Fox News, you don't know that. Fox has been smearing the Apple with false claims about crime for a decade now.
A remarkable trend that will come as a shock to you if your only info about NYC is from this Fox News.
Homicides in NYC...
1990: 2,262
1993: 1,927
1998: 629
2001: 649
2013: 335
2019: 320
2021: 488
2024: 382

Attention Iowans. You have a good chance to take your state back in 2026, and the rest of us need you to do it. Say no to the repression and hate, to economic warfare on homes and farms. Say yes to progressive candidates. Vote in your self-interest

Did you hear about this massive Medicare and Medicaid fraud case? Rick Scott was the CEO of Columbia/HCA Healthcare, which was busted in 2000 in what remains the biggest Medicaid/Medicare fraud case of all time.
But he never saw a day of jail time. Instead, he got rich and got into politics.
