Democrats should become the anti-corruption party. 72% of voters think a member of Congress would likely accept a bribe if offered one. 80% say donors run DC. The solution isn’t left vs right, it’s clean vs corrupt. But first, Democrats must reform themselves and reject big money.

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

Social Security Update
We're going from grim to grimmer. DOGE is effectively crippling Social Security's ability to function. On one hand Trump says "we're not touching Social Security payments", the other hand is locking its doors, cutting customer service, and making it impossible to operate.

Rep. Andy Barr has a poor understanding of Kentucky politics if he thinks voters want a Senator who licks the boots of an unelected billionaire.

In 1989, SecDef nominee John Tower said he’d give up drinking & philandering if he was confirmed. My Dad wrote a letter to the editor, asking “Why would a man give up whiskey & women for a government job?”

DOGE exists to help the extraction class disguise corruption, cronyism, and the brutal dismantling of consumer protection, labor rights, and the social safety net as as "innovative efficiency reforms"
and from everything I've seen the U.S. press is super keen to help support the illusion

if its ok to lie now then there’s no reason dems and msnbc shouldnt just start saying the attacker was a maga supporter who was at jan 6
even though the New Orleans attacker was born in Texas and is a veteran, House Republicans on Fox are following Trump's lead and just pretending that he came across Biden's "open border"
