If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

FBI obtains voting data from Arizona GOP’s 2020 review that confirmed Trump’s loss A federal grand jury in Arizona has subpoenaed records from a review Republican lawmakers conducted of the 2020 presidential results that confirmed Trump lost.

Trump is trying to manufacturer voter fraud.

Russia is giving Iran US troop locations. Trump removed sanctions on Russia.

When you have incompetent idiots running the country and a war, this is what you get.

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

Here's the breakdown: Billionaire Republicans are giving millions to GOP candidates, getting them into power, and then getting tons of favors that make the billionaire donors more money while screwing ordinary Americans.

Wake up, people. Stop voting GOP.

After Turning Away Refugees, Trump Presses to Protect Iranian Soccer Team

Trump is turning away ordinary people . . . but if they are a celebrity athlete, sure come on in.

He does the same thing at home. When will MAGA learn that Trump is screwing them for his billionaire buddies?

The battle is going to end soon . . . but it's just beginning.

Idiots. We have idiots running a war.

Trump replaced a dangerous leader of Iran with a more dangerous leader. Good job.

Higher oil prices = Higher everything prices

Trump just found another way to make your life more expensive. For no real reason. While innocent people die.

What a well-crafted piece. You're right about how #AbolishICE is righteous & moral, but short-sighted. The problem is DJT & his vile GOP enablers. In order to move forward & start to set things right we *have to* remove them from power, even if that means voting for imperfect Dem candidates.

Markwayne Mullin has never served in the military or law enforcement. He made a living in the construction industry and his only academic credential is an associates' degree in the trades. He's done MMA and he thinks that combat sports makes him the same as the military. It does not.

Trump replaced a dangerous leader of Iran with a more dangerous leader. Good job.

Leavitt responds to military draft fears in Fox News interview | CNN Politics White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke with Fox News in response to concerns about President Trump’s weighing of forced conscription into the military.

Now there's discussion about a draft to ensure enough young soldiers are available, in case troops on the ground are needed in Iran.

Bet the young men who voted for Trump are loving this new development.

If our own intelligence is telling us that we're not going to secure regime change (what Trump said is the reason for the war), why are we sending our kids to Iran to die and spending billions that could be used to help people in our own country?

It's a huge distraction from the Epstein Files.

Shia LaBeouf used homophobic slurs and assaulted people, New Orleans police say.

I say decent people should be done with people who attack LGBT people.

Chris Pepin-Neff is a former lobbyist to end Don't Ask, Don't Tell, so LGBT people could freely serve in the military.

He ran into @hillaryclinton.bsky.social at a book signing. Clinton said have a seat, let's chat about what I can do to support LGBT rights.

What could have been.

The MAGA arm of the Republican party are white supremacists. Some mask it better than others, but when the cloaks come off it's always the same.

The Jews who think that Trump and the GOP are their friends are being willingly played.

I’m addicted. Make me stop.
