Seriously? He has no idea how insurance works or how to govern. I’ll never get over 77 million people thinking a man this incompetent belongs anywhere near the Oval Office.

2 statewide races in GA, 3 PA state Supreme Court races, Virginia Governor, New Jersey Governor, California redistricting. Dems winning HUGE everywhere. The resistance is alive & well.
Tonight is a TOTAL repudiation of that cruel, corrupt, lawless madman in the White House & his cowardly enablers.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Let's just lay it out. Epstein was a glorified pimp who used and sold the services of children to the wealthy, the elite, and the powerful. His clients will destroy anything and everything to stay hidden. They will even starve poor people. They have no bottom and no conscience.

While Congress enjoys its extended vacation, has anyone actually seen a town hall or public event in their district??
They are doing absolutely nothing. And we are footing the bill.

Only a broken nation, with a broken political system, could put this person in power. Only a populace - the people who voted for him AND the people who didn’t - divided, afraid, uninformed, and lacking in human understanding & empathy could put this person in power.
Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

“Annoying” is one word for it.
I think one of the things that non-evangelicals find most annoying about evangelicals is when they claim that other people can’t lead happy and fulfilling lives unless they believe in the same things that they do.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST
Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.
Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

So obviously, this guy has gotten much richer over the years and only gives a shit about his own wealth and power. He was never a great governor, but I at least felt like he had evolved somewhat since then. Apparently not. Fuck him!! Yes on prop 50! #prop50

The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels.
Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism.

I can’t believe such a wretched, morbidly obese, drug addicted, deviant, illiterate, sexual predator found the secret sauce to turn half our country into absolute lunatics. Turning a blind eye daily to the most rampant corruption in American history as they genuflect before him.
