WATCH: “The answer has to be a more progressive tax system. Give people the necessities of life for free — childcare, healthcare… the rich keep getting richer…”

Lloyd Blankfein, Senior Chair of Goldman Sachs, out here sounding like @aoc.bsky.social & Bernie 👀 🎯

Trump’s “Russia first” Iran policy will get more US servicemembers killed. Here’s why.

Great point: Governor Polis' concerns about how Tina Peters is being treated are just quite hypocritical given his record.

Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.

Florida Senate passes own version of anti-voting SAVE America Act The Florida bill is an attempt to impose the national SAVE America Act's severe voting restrictions on a state level.

If this is enacted, Florida will be sued.

"Florida lawmakers are poised to approve sweeping new restrictions that would require voters to prove their citizenship status, as well as remove student ID as an acceptable form of voter identification." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I'm frustrated by too many people being manipulated by MSM. If you read, see or hear something that makes you resist less, makes you more fearful, flee platforms, stop using tools, stop speaking out, it's a manipulation. It's important that we cling to our logic in an increasingly illogical world.

Its small beans, but honestly hilarious how vain Trump is that he mistakenly said it was an "excursion" rather than "incursion" and now he's going to gaslight everyone as if that's a normal way of speaking.

Just like the insane asylums with immigrants because he couldn't understand seeking asylum.

A conspiracy theory is a "self-sealing" narrative that evidence isn't allowed to puncture. Evidence is dismissed. Evidence is invented. Evidence is a troublesome thing, but not for the conspiracist who is simply immune to evidence.

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.

Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

We have, by far, the biggest, most expensive military in the world not to mention enough nukes to eradicate the entire world population dozens of times over, but we're supposed to believe we're also so feeble we were at risk of attack by a military a fraction of our size. Complete and utter bullshit

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

If a foreign nation that you just bombed without provocation doesn't respond favorably to your post on social media, then I'm not sure how you're going to get out of this predicament.

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

So it now appears based on many media reports that we bombed a girls elementary school and killed 175 people, and right after that Hegseth was beating his chest in a press conference saying we weren’t going to worry about “stupid rules of engagement” anymore.
