No Democrat I know favors political violence, yet all I see on this site, including from the odious owner/propagandist, is that liberals are the problem. That’s a bald-faced lie, one that the GOP is using to gin up its own #ReichstagFire moment. Because they’re scared of voters.

The simple explanation for this is that Trump/the GOP don’t care one bit about the higher prices Americans pay since that money lines the pockets of their billionaire donors.

A reminder that when Christian Nationalists in the Republican Party lecture you about the importance of "religious freedom," they are not talking about YOUR religion or YOUR freedom. They are talking about THEIR freedom to impose THEIR religion on you.

If you're someone who thinks elections don't matter and both parties are the same: Tr*mp stacking SCOTUS and adding 10 judges to the 9th circuit in his first term is having profoundly devastating impacts now.
Both parties are not the same. Elections have consequences.

When The Chew was on ABC, I would record it and watch it daily. The hosts (Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon) are now doing their own thing with a podcast. I highly recommend it! It’s like the original show, but with fun back stories on network TV and swearing! youtu.be/6el4EhdLy0o?...

I'm glad to see House Democrats are pressing to get Rep-Elect Grijalva seated, because the fight over this is just a prelude to what the House Republicans will try in January 2027, when charges of "voter fraud" will lead to "serious questions" that will delay the seating of several new Democrats.
