DSA stands in absolute opposition to the proposed deal to pass Trump's billionaire budget. Healthcare is a right, not a bargaining chip.

This is the leader the Dems rejected for a guy that they should have supported in battling cancer. The Jeffries and Schumers and Pelosis are desperately afraid of the few people that are fighting to save their party.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This sucks dude. EVEN if Thune isn’t lying to you about the vote, the House won’t hold a vote.
You got nothing, and just proved to the public that the shutdown was your fault.
And you proved to Republicans that they can weaponize hunger. You negotiated with terrorists

Why must every single part of the People's Economy be a scam? Oh right... because we have to prop up bubble after bubble, failure after failure, scam after scam of the Elite Economy.

Subway must be thrilled. They found their new Jared, one that actually fights the baddies instead of being a sex trafficker. Sandwich Guy... do NOT fuck this up!
Sandwich Guy was acquitted.
Juries are the last line of defense for democracy. The Constitution provides an absolute right to a jury trial, and if the crimes of the state are egregious enough, a jury will not convict those who stand against that state.

My gosh. This should be leading every news outlet in America today — a top official gives first-hand proof that the US took Israel's side after its soldiers killed our Palestinian-American press colleague, Shireen Abu-Akleh:
“My findings were beyond reasonable doubt that this was an intentional killing of Shireen Abu Akleh.”
Retired Army Colonel Steve Gabavics tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social that the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, was intentional according to his findings.
