Coming up on 30 years since the Dunblane school shooting massacre (13th March 1996) and watching another documentary about it. The families wanted to end legal handgun ownership and we passed those laws. We’ve not had a school shooting since. I ache for all Americans who cannot get this done there.

Strange how every β€œAmerica First” move somehow ends up helping Moscow. What a coincidence.

This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

Mike Johnson was about that age in the late 80's.

Apparently, "obliterated" doesn't mean obliterated so he's gotta threaten to obliterate them again.

I found that if you can't see at least the top of the first post then it's not letting you scroll. Been that way for 2 weeks or so

Hard to believe in the "Signal Chat" security mindset of this administration for defining what top secret means

A Centrist's definition of a Progressive is about as useful as Trump's definition of a Democrat - "radical, leftist Marxist Communist".

It's why we got
the Patriot Act
Iraq/Afghanistan Wars
Dark money in campaigns
$40T in debt

And DON'T have
Univ. Healthcare
Green Energy
Fair Taxes
Good Education

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

The country you speak of never existed.
Drawing borders in the ME
School of the Americas
CIA backed coups
Corporate colonialism
Iran Contra
Iraq War

To name a few

It’s kind of ironic for millennials to have another economic collapse, forever war and Republican leader everyone hates, our mid life crisis is just a crisis

So I don’t agree with every single thing I repost. But for almost TWO FULL DECADES a cornerstone of the thinking in two parts of The Left has basically been that a thing that was IMO inevitable if the patronizing fuckery wasn’t squashed would NEVER happen. Now it’s happening and folk are shocked.

Pete Hegseth BLEW TENS OF BILLIONS IN ONE WEEK on Pianos, Lobster, & Steak
Pete Hegseth BLEW TENS OF BILLIONS IN ONE WEEK on Pianos, Lobster, & Steak YouTube video by Jesse Dollemore

Jesse talks about new reporting surrounding the astronomical amounts of money being wasted at the Pentagon by Pete Hegseth in just the month of September last year. In a mad dash to end the fiscal year, Hegseth spent $93 billion on Steinway pianos, crab, lobster, steak.....

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.

Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs β€” laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.

Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.

The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.

Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at http://senate.gov and http://house.gov β€” it takes two minutes and it matters.

This is hideous and horrible, and the people pushing for it deserve to spend the rest of their lives in a cage.

Are we still looking for waste, fraud, and abuse? I think I found some.
