Sarcasm. MarkWayne is an idiot. 😀

Yes, indeed.

He will protect us!

And, MAGA morons (JD Vance), claim that 'real Americans' are those with the longest family histories in America. But the ancestors of most African Americans arrived no later than 1808. Longer than the vast majority of white families who intermarried with immigrants. So the Real Americans are . ?

Sen. Whitehouse to uncover connections between Trump, Russia, and Epstein. YouTube video by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

Excellent work by Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse! He weaves together the many connections between Russia, Trump, and Epstein over DECADES! But his opening remarks are the best - Trump only uses the word, "hoax" to describe things that are true.

If it weren't for the video captured by his constituents, Senator Sheehy would have denied he had anything to do with this viscous attack on a protestor. That's how the GOP rolls.

Zelensky holds some cards after all.

Like most Texans, Hispanic Texans are relatively conservative. But the Trump ICE Raids may have changed perceptions of Hispanic voters towards the GOP. In a way that Dem warnings about "White Nationalism" could never do. If so, there could be a deep blue wave in Texas on election day.

As it should be.

Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

Dems have flipped a GOP seat in Arkansas during a special election tonight. Outperforming their 2024 margins again. Local races are where your donations and volunteerism can make the most meaningful difference. Look up your local Dem Club to learn more.

Also true for America in that the right is a small minority and fascism is unpopular. But the right believes they are entitled to rule over everyone else. And our Constitution has structural weaknesses which have allowed them to do so.

Half the people asking these questions don't understand that Dems don't have any real power in Washington. But that is not entirely the fault of these people. Dems do a terrible job of communicating key concepts to voters. Other than, "Elections have consequences."

If Ossoff WINS BIG in Georgia in 2026, he can claim to be one of the most electable Democrats for 2028. Gallego would be his stiffest competition. Both these Senators have some cross appeal without compromising Dem values. But which one would go furthest for systematic reform remains to be seen.

Long ago, Millennium Challenge 2002, the DOD performed a war game scenario between Iran and the USA. And the team playing Iran sunk an American aircraft carrier. The result was so shocking, the DOD disregarded the outcome. Much has changed, but this is why the DOD prefers diplomacy to war - Risk.

The irrational strongman we’ve been warned about is here His name is Donald J. Trump.

"Trump's attack on Iran is terrifying in part because it's so untethered from policy goals and logic. He offered a range of half-hearted explanations for his rush to war, but the conflicting excuses only underlined the obvious truth — he attacked Iran because he felt like it."

Hegseth is taking gaslighting out of his personal life and onto the international stage. Escaping containment as some would say. He is attempting to gaslight entire nations - the USA, Iran, and the rest of the world. There must be consequences for this behavior in his future.

Really shows how Trump and MAGA would be NOTHING without the MAGA Media Bubble. Content creation is all they know. Because they need lies to justify their actions. Dems must pop the MAGA bubble when they return to power. Lots of ways to do that, but it must be done. FASCISM is ALWAYS built on lies.

WTF? Uh. . . .uh . . . uh. . . I can't believe what I'm seeing. Is it AI? 😀

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

Trump and MAGA have learned the phone is more powerful than the gun. Average citizens put their own lives at risk to expose the truth of Trump's secret police. And this effort has been perhaps the singular reason why public option is shifting against Trump & fascism.

Again, the AI CEOs don't care about the harms caused by their software. Because if they REALLY did, none of this would be happening.

The only way to stop these harms is to impose direct civil liability to the companies that created the programs. As well as criminal liability to the company CEO.

Trump chose to surround himself with synchophants who constantly flatter him. Convincing him that his loser policies on tariffs, taxes, and ACA premiums are actually political winners.

I can only imagine the outrageous lies he has been fed to convince him to launch a hot war with Iran.
