Word. I don't consider the Democratic Party a cult. Which is why I WILL express my feelings and concerns about ANY god damn candidate I choose to. That's part of what being a Democrat is to me. Doesn't mean I won't vote for them, it just means I can express my feelings and concerns.

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
Second arrest actually but Epstein had so much evidence in others. He should have been protected.
Just?
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
It’s like all Staffy owners need to share. Luna
BOTH Democratic U.S. Senate candidates should be furious about how this is being handled in Texas.
It benefits one candidate today. But the same chaos that helped them in the primary can absolutely burn them the general.
Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Rachel Cohen and Tiara Mack talk about recent reports of horrific treatment and detained children at Dilley, Texas', "South Texas Family Residential Center" and the Trump administration's determination to make their private prison cronies richer no matter the law, or the human cost. Tune in below!

Thank God Congress isn't alive to see what's been happening in the United States

NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch — telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.
Seems like a whole generation and then some.
If you look at Presidents Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Biden they didn't start any wars, they managed wars and situations set up by Republicans, they intervened in civil wars and crisis around the world, but it was Republicans Reagan, the Bushes, and now Trump that invaded, occupied, started wars
Your gentle reminder that rapist Trump is explicitly named as a rapist in the Epstein files and his government is so convinced of his "innocence" that they're still trying to prevent the truth from coming out.
Often when you order a the drink with a single shot in it, they throw the 2nd shot away. Just ask for it too.
The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.
If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?
She’s just not going back into that life. There are far more qualified women getting experience needed. One day, we will be ready but it is not now. Sexism runs deep.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
The Constitution is clear that only Congress has the power to declare war.
I call upon House leaders to immediately bring the House back into session to vote on the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution, which I strongly support.
