I want Boomers to be polled because we are not a monolithic group of MAGAT idiots. I've been a liberal since before I was even able to vote and resent being constantly lumped together with Trumper Boomers. It's obnoxious AF.
It's been clear that Trump is an ally of Putin as his rhetoric and efforts for Putin and Russia, the aggressors who illegally invaded Ukraine, have been transparent and constant. #Ukraine #Trump #Putin @democrats.senate.gov @ec.europa.eu
Now do Trump and Bibi. Then Trump and Putin.

100 years ago today, March 12, 1926:
The Savoy Ballroom opened in New York City's Harlem. The fully integrated jazz nightclub was a hub of the Swing Era and the birthplace of the Lindy Hop dance. It was demolished in 1958. A monument commemorating the venue was dedicated at the site in 2002.

❗️ 🇺🇦 Ukraine is creating its own "Iron Dome" for air defense
According to the deputy commander of the Air Force, Pavlo Yelizarov, the Ukrainian dome will differ significantly from the Israeli one - it should cover a much larger territory and will consist of four components.
Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

It isn't just gas prices — everything from groceries to travel costs could cost more for Minnesotans because of this war. The Administration still has not made the case or laid out a strategic path forward.
A message to Kentucky voters, don't be fooled. Massie is working for you, Trump is working for Trump. He has delivered in absolutely none of pre-election promises and is waging war. That wasn't Massie's work.
“If they rise, they rise.” — Donald Trump on YOUR gas prices spiking to the highest of either of his terms. He’s not worried. Are you?
He's not worried about YOU, Louisiana.

Congressional Democrats are opening a probe into millions of dollars private companies — including ABC, Meta, Paramount, and X — pledged to Trump's planned presidential library, asking what happened to the money after the original fund was dissolved last year. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Hubris. That's why the war mongers ignore history.

🎁 exclusive article. This is what happens when you put Elon Musk in charge and he gives his junior tech bros unlimited access to our data. It will take generations to recover from this if we can.
The damage from both of Tritler’s terms is catastrophic.

Two drones fell near Dubai's main airport and Bahrain evacuated some planes on Wednesday, as attacks on infrastructure across the Gulf continued to disrupt air traffic, hampering efforts to restore flights as the war on Iran entered a 12th day….
I listened. I believed. I would never could never have voted for a man so corrupt.
My gawd almighty. And we never thought it would happen here. The depths of depravity the US govt has sunk to is astounding to me.
The DNC is suing the Trump administration for refusing to answer a simple question, “are you planning to put armed agents or military at polling places?” They submitted 11 FOIA requests and have gotten zero answers.

NEW: We're demanding information from the Trump administration about its new restrictions on federal childcare and family assistance funding.
These nationwide restrictions are already placing a strain on childcare providers and families who depend on these essential programs.
Representative-elect Bobbi Boudman ran an incredible campaign and won in a district Republicans carried by 13 points last election. Democrats have now flipped 28 state legislative seats since Trump took office, while Republicans haven’t flipped one.
Congratulations, Bobbi!
YOU CAN DO THIS FRANCE,
PLEASE 🙏........
