Never forget that he could have stopped this. In the aftermath of J6, he could have ensured Trump could never be president again by whipping votes to impeach.
That failure is McConnell’s legacy.

Mitch McConnell: Tariffs "will drive the cost of everything up. In other words, it will be paid for by American consumers. I mean, why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this?"

Did you know that Elon and Trump want to start using the same AI claim denial process used by United Health at the Department of Veterans Affairs?

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story

Incarcerated in Illinois, Michael Broadway died from asthma on a scorching day this year. A prison nurse refused to climb the stairs to his cell, saying, “It’s too hot. I’m not going up there,” an affidavit reveals. But the state renewed the contract with the company that handles prison health care.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This chart crushes me. There are more than five times as many billionaires as there were in 2000, and the average net worth per billionaire has nearly tripled, from $1.9bn to a staggering $5.1bn. They're fleecing us, undermining democracy, and burning the world - TAX THE RICH.

It was a 49% to 48% election.
Fascism won by a hair.
And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.
