I don’t think this was about the Democratic Party.
It was about Democratic voters.
So many of us maybe feeling like today is not the day to watch this video but I highly say the opposite. This is the day to watch it.
Trump is not mentally fit
How messed up do you have to be to say that stripping health coverage from up to 16 million people, removing food from kids, and raising taxes on some low-income people is “immaterial”?
The bill is immoral, a monument to a party gone mad in service to a suicide-inducing cult leader.
This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country.

SCHATZ: "This is the stuff of dictatorships. He identified himself. That should be enough."
We will, Senator. See you all at NO KINGS this Saturday!
His assignment was to destroy US.
Trump’s hateful comments on this Memorial Day underscores how disgraceful and intolerable this malignant man is and will always be. As much as we express gratitude for the men & women who sacrificed their lives, he will forever be a heinous stain on our beloved country.
There are many reasons we're here in fascism, but one of the biggest is that nearly all members of the media have spent the last ten years not asking Donald Trump a follow-up question.
I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president.
Shame.
64% of adults with Medicaid already work full or part time, 12% care for dependents, 10% disabled or in poor health, 7% attending school. Just 8% were not working or unable to find work. Federal data. @muellershewrote.com @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...

No, you’re not crazy.
They are deporting brown people and importing white people.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

You mean to tell me that Chicago gets to claim Michael Jordan, the first Black President AND the first American Pope? Good lord you ain't going to be able to tell them NOTHING.
Rome has a pope who listens to Jesus.
Washington has a president who listens to Putin.
Somebody stood up in that conclave on day 2 and said “We clearly only agree on one thing: who wants to stick it to JD? Check out Bobby P’s twitter.”
At last, moral leadership from an American who now leads much of the world’s faithful. No wonder we are all profoundly hopeful.
So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?
Chicago is on to something.
Warnock: Georgia officials said they were sorry but their hands were tied, you can’t vote the first weekend of the runoff after the holiday so I decided to untie them, I sued them. And I won… They appealed asking for emergency relief. Emergency relief from what? People voting?
With nearly 40 years of legal practice, lawyer Abbe Lowell has represented many powerful people. Now he's starting a new law firm to represent those who have drawn the ire of President Trump.

BREAKING NEWS: New water aerobics class gets off to a great start.
The idea that boys should be raised to be “tough” is resurgent in American culture. But that attitude, Joshua Coleman writes, conflicts with research showing that to thrive, boys really need more affectionate care:
Why are they platforming lies? I don’t care what offices these people hold, they are spewing lies and propaganda largely unchecked and people are like, “Cool, I want to be part of that.”
