Its past time for Democratic leaders in Congress and indeed everyone in Congress to stand up for democracy, our Constitution, and Congresses rightful role in our government. Schumer and Jeffries its well past time for you to act like leaders.
Contact your members of Congress NOW and tell the to do their job and stop this illegal, immoral war on Iran!
Yes, Congress should get in session immediately and vote to stop this illegal, immoral war. Congress STAND UP AND DO YOUR JOB! We've been standing up in the streets and in so many other ways for a year now, it's way past time for Congress to stand up and do its job!
This is what oligarchy looks like!
A very informative and insightful post from Heather Cox Richardson today on what's really behind the attack on Iran. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/february-2...
We need Congress to stand up and say "NO!" We the people have been doing that in the streets for a year now. It's about time that our elected representatives in Congress DO THEIR JOBS!
Unbelievable! It just shows how UNserious they are about their jobs, the country, and everything else.
Crypto's only purpose is facilitating criminal and corrupt activity.
Or is Trump going to war to distract from in the increasingly damaging information from the Epstein files?
This is NOT what peace looks like!
Trump, his cabinet, and his advisers are impulsive, ill-informed, incompetent, and mean-spirited, so we're at war.
Congress needs to step up and pass a War Powers resolution blocking Trump's military action. We must all stand up and protest. This is illegal, unethical, and immoral in so many ways!
The SCOTUS decision blocking Trump's tariffs was a HUGE win. Just think where we'd be if they'd upheld the tariffs. They're so politically corrupt that anything is possible with them.
Trump, as usual, is throwing out crazy stuff just to spread confusion and fear. As Robert Hubbell says so well, we need to continue to stand up and fight back.
The U.S. affordability crisis is multifaceted and has been growing for 45 years, caused by low pay and high prices. Many factors have been depressing workersβ pay including the failure to raise the minimum wage, the weakening of unions, globalization, gig work, and reduced competition for workers.
It's simply voter suppression. Let's make it harder for married women who changed their last names so it doesn't match their birth certificate to vote. There is no problem with voter fraud in the US.
This is what oligarchy look like!
This is simply voter suppression. There is no meaningful problem with voter fraud in the US. We should be making it easier to vote, not harder.
The corruption of the Trump administration is unprecedented and knows no bounds. With a totally compromised Justice Department and therefore no prosecution of the corruption, along with subservient mainstream media, the corruption is being normalized.
Let's boycott Trump's supposed State of the Union speech. Rather than listening to him bloviate and lie, join this event instead. It will really irritate Trump if more people participate in this than watch his performance.
ProPublica's investigative reporting is amazing! We need independent, reader supported journalism like never before. Please support ProPublica if you can, as I do.
Why aren't ICE agents being arrested and charged with child abuse?
Thanks, Bob, for leading the way in the fight for democracy! Yes, we all need to continue to stand up and fight back.
Trump and Kennedy sure are NOT making America healthy!
We should all definitely be boycotting X. I'm looking forward to the day when we can boycott Facebook. In the meantime, spend as little time as possible logged into FB and NEVER click on a FB ad. Spend your time on BlueSky or off your screens entirely.
This is what happens when we allow the profit motive to deliver important public goods like health care.
It's hard to rank Trump's lies, but saying his administration is only arresting and deporting serious criminals - "the worst of the worst" - is right up there.
This is what oligarchy looks like!
Yes, we should boycott these corporate enablers of Trump, his autocracy, and the American oligarchy. Shop at your locally owned and run stores - even if it costs a bit more. The savings are NOT worth it.
