No political leanings, but do not agree with people who say something is a fact because someone told them it was - without actually researching evidence.
Why does the American media always think socialism and communism are interchangeable? It’s the same as saying conservatism and fascism are interchangeable- clearly nonsensical.

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

A new study shows the Trump economy is crushing families: in major cities, child care now costs more than rent — nearly 31% more for families with two kids.
When parents have to choose between housing and child care, that’s economic sabotage.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

I’ve been in a room with Putin. He calls Ukrainians “Russians with accents.” His real fear isn’t NATO expansion, it’s democracy expansion. It shatters his entire argument for dictatorship at home. Because if Ukrainians embrace freedom, Russians may demand the same.

So in all the months Bondi had the Epstein Files on her desk she didn’t have the “information” that she has suddenly noticed to launch investigations into some Democrats, but there’s no information for investigations into any Republicans mentioned. That doesn’t compute.
