Shrapnel wounds. Brain injuries. Burns.
Trump is throwing our troops into unjustified foreign wars while gutting our VA and making it harder to get the care they earned when they come home.
Strange how every “America First” move somehow ends up helping Moscow. What a coincidence.
DHS agents killed American citizens in cold blood. They are terrorizing communities. Detaining and deporting CITIZENS. Democrats are just asking for basic accountability and reforms.
And what is the Republican response?
"Cry about it."
Pete Hegseth spent $2 million on Alaskan king crab, $7 million on lobster tail, and $15.1 million on ribeye steak in just one month. — But please, tell me again how the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security are bleeding this country dry.
Ken White posted this over a year ago, I think about this often.
It doesn't matter if you're retired. Springing forward is still exhausting. But I like the staying light later part. I can go on walks late in the day and feel safe; you see, I'm a woman and have spent my whole life considering safety when going out and about by myself.
Happy Women's History Month.
Here's hoping the MAGA losers who voted for this shit are the first morons drafted. 😳👇
Trump's outright refusal to pressure Putin to end the war in Ukraine is the true obstacle to peace.
Two bullies who may now bond over their shared experience of launching wars of choice.
Markwayne Mullin’s views on the value of life stop at the birth canal.
“In Oklahoma, we’re not going to be killing babies.”
Oklahoma ranks near the bottom in maternal care, infant mortality, healthcare, and education. For Markwayne, once the baby is born, they’re on their own.
Yesterday, Trump ordered the approval of the Ambler Road Project (link: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...)
This completes another goal of Project 2025

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
Trump has decided that the SAVE Act voter suppression bill is too important, and he won’t sign any other shitty GOP bills until that passes. Note to Senate Democrats: this is neither a negative nor a reason to undermine voter rights.

"Herrera has come under fire for a long history of posting Nazi imagery and his involvement in the Sons of Confederate Veterans...
"His line 'I often think about putting a gun in my mouth. So, I’m basically an honorary veteran' was a flashpoint for criticism..."

Before I signed fair maps into law, Wisconsinites were living under some of the most gerrymandered legislative maps in America.
I have four words for that: We cannot go back.
It’s time to ban partisan gerrymandering once and for all.

“White” homeland will always need nonwhites as servants and workers. What it can’t have is equality under the law. That’s the “homeland” they’re looking for.
People should be required to experience ICE's illegal brutalities before being able to claim that they support ICE and their methods.
Belgium MP Paul Magnette: “Not one of our soldiers, not one of our weapons, should go for Trump’s war in Iran. We must say no to Trump, like Spain did”
CBS: Trump said he would like to protect Iranians he'd like to come to power. How would you protect potential leaders inside the country?
HEGSETH: The best way to protect them is what we're doing now. What you see between American & Israel efforts is a generational opportunity for people of Iran
Check out the number of votes.
Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.
We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.
That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.
Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.
I just left a classified briefing on Iran, and here's what I can say: it is so much worse than you thought. You are right to be worried.
Reagan appointed judge: "If nobody’s going to enforce the Constitution, it becomes like the Constitution of Russia."
Genuine conservatives within the judiciary stand as one of the final bulwarks against authoritarian rule in America.
New Trump statement:
"Three US Military service members have been killed in action... There will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is."
