Maybe you can convince people to feel bad for these DOGE clowns who had their reputations harmed

And although nobody should have to suffer death threats, how many people ACTUALLY DIED or suffered significant pecuniary harm because of the abject ignorance of these idiots

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

GOP combs Talarico’s archives to cast him as radical leftist Talarico has suggested he would communicate some of his views differently today, but stood by the principles behind the comments Republicans are using to tar him as an extreme liberal.

Republicans say (loudly and frantically) that these Talarico quotes make him too radical for Texas. Each one is backed by data, science, or theology, and each was made in the context of countering racism, transphobia, white supremacy, or another form of hatred.

Boy, PA GOP must really know it’s a bad year if they failed to find candidates for HD-174 (47.8% Trump), HD-2 (46.3% Trump), HD-133 (45.7% Trump), HD-146 (44.5% Trump), HD-26 (43.9% Trump).

Lots of tea leaves out there indicating that Pennsylvania Republicans are in for a drubbing this year…and they know it.

Russia is giving intelligence to Iran to help them hit our soldiers. But Trump will not confront them about it - instead he is actually lifting their sanctions.

Once you realize he works for Russia, not America, everything he does makes sense.

Blundering Forward, Trump Style Trump’s big policy mistakes follow a familiar pattern, and we should expect the same with the war in Iran.

Many of the biggest policy decisions of Donald Trump’s second term follow the same script: move fast, ignore the experts, break things, then spin the disastrous outcome as a victory. From DOGE to tariffs to the ICE surge in Minneapolis, the pattern keeps repeating. The war in Iran is next.

Host: 6 U.S. service members were killed when their plane crashed in Iraq. But from the time his briefing started, Pete Hegseth didn't even mention those deaths for nearly 9 minutes. Instead, he spent much of that time complaining about media coverage.

The Senate State and Local Government Committee heard testimony this week about a proposal that would change the language around Minnesota's state grain, wild rice. The language includes adding Dakota and Ojibwe to the bill as well as recognizing the plant’s "inherent" right to exist and thrive.

There’s a reason that Trump is frantically pushing Republicans to pass the SAVE act that will require complicated voter ID to vote.

He thinks he’s going to lose the midterms unless he can suppress the vote.

Democrats cannot get complacent. We have victory within reach. Every Dem must vote.

Maasdam: What we’re doing overseas β€” spending billions of dollars a day. In two weeks, we probably spent $25 billion. We had an Ayatollah Khomeini to start, and now we have a new Ayatollah Khomeini. And how is this making things in my district more affordable for people? It’s not

I’m proud to be a part of a caucus that isn’t afraid to use unconventional methods to get results when House Republicans limited debate & allowed Dem-sponsored bills to die w/o a vote. We were able to stop union-busting β€œRight to Work” legislationβ€”a small victory during this rough week. #NHPolitics

Listen to this arrogant little Nazi. Elon Musk put fools like this hate filled SOB in charge of destroying millions of lives. Nathan Cavanaugh was able to apply his and Elon Musk ignorant views of blacks and LGBTQ+ to end vital and necessary programs. This is what Republicans wrought. #USD #PB

Democratic Turnout Surges in Mississippi’s US Senate Primaries, Nearly Matching GOP Total Mississippi Democrats turned out in large numbers in the March 10 midterm primaries, nearly matching the total number of Republican votes cast.

NEW: Democratic turnout surged in Mississippi's U.S. Senate primaries Tuesdayβ€”coming within about 7,000 votes of matching GOP turnout.

About 156,000 Democrats voted on Tuesdayβ€”up from just 87,931 in 2018, the last midterm Senate primary.

Scott Colom says it shows he can beat Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith.

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

Pete Hegseth Blew Billions on Fruit Basket Stands, Chairs, and Crab The Defense Department went on a $93 billion spending spree in 2025.

This adds new meaning to the phrase, he’s spending money like a drunken sailor. Taxpayer money. Corrupt to the core, from the top down.
