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.

-Codify Roe
-Send MAGA's to jail that deserve it. See Homan, DJT
-End the filibuster
-Rebuild gov't

The notion of US stations going in & out of the ongoing pep rally & lie-fest that characterize DJT’s “Staff meeting” is almost comical.
How ppl take any of the BS that’s presented, as reality, is silly & demeaning to the intelligence of Americans.

What’s left of our U.S. media when K. Noem can claim the DC murder suspect wasn’t vetted, when he was vetted at least FOUR different times, including before, & after, he came to the USA.

It is beyond frustrating to watch US media cover an irresponsible claim of 10 child deaths due to Covid vaccines, without evidence, while large amounts of data exist to link low vax rates for Covid to much HIGHER mortality rates in red states, & counties, due to GOP concerns about vaccines.

Watch the movie “Good Kill” with Ethan Hawke. It covers drone pilots forced to make increasingly questionable actions including a “double tap” of a funeral where terrorists MIGHT be present. He has real difficulty taking on these illegal actions.

Totally correct. The income & wealth inequality gap has been growing for 40+ yrs as Republicans took pledges to NEVER raise taxes & US economic macro policy kept on lowering rates for the wealthy & corps.
They can run, but can’t hide from the explosion in debt that resulted & the widening W&I gaps!

The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever.
Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years.
They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
