Republicans need to stand up against what is going on. If only the Democrats speak against tyranny, it looks like they're merely complaining about the other party.

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.
And get the money out

30 years ago I thought we'd be dropping in via hologram to meet people in other countries and learn about their culture. Instead trolls spew vile all over our comments.

Tariffs are raising costs for American families and hurting our economy. Senate Republicans could’ve voted to end them.
They chose not to because they’re afraid to stand up to Trump.

Elon Musk calling government social services a “Ponzi scheme” is peak right-wing projection. He’s made billions of dollars thanks to government contracts paid for with OUR tax dollars — from NASA + Pentagon contracts to subsidies for his companies AND cleaning up his companies’ environmental messes.
