Public opinion is not fixed.

And it's the job of a campaign to move people.

I love that there are people mad about the claim that God is non-binary.

Like, what? Did you check β€œGod’s” β€œgenitalia” to make sure that God was using the β€œcorrect” bathroom? What the fuck is your problem?

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

β€œA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβ€”and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

The woman who told FBI agents that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was as young as 13 recalled that she and her mother received death threats afterward, with callers saying β€œwe know where you’re at, you need to keep your mouth shut."

Massive war price tag could be a massive problem for GOP leaders The prospect of a ballooning new spending bill has GOP leaders bracing for a messy internal fight.

It's cute when people pretend that Congressional Republicans actually care about the debt or deficit and won't just, almost to a person, ram through more money for Trump's illegal war.

US Central Command just emailed out its fact sheet for Day 7 of Iran War. Claims 3000 targets struck, 43 Iranian ships damaged or destroyed. Still has a list of US weapons/aircraft/systems used that still ends with "...and special capabilities we can't list here!" Exclamation point isn't a typo

The United States had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Donald Trump ripped that deal up and got nothing in return.

Thank you to the 53 House Democrats who voted NO on a war-mongering GOP messaging resolution designed to justify Trump's war on Iran by calling Iran a "direct and persistent threat to the US."

He's putting up record job losses, driving the country into a war he can't even explain, and was credibly accused of raping a teenager in the Epstein files released yesterday - so of course it's time to try and ruin more trans people's lives

All the polls on the U.S. war in Iran so far According to a simple average of new high-quality surveys, 38% of Americans approve and 49% disapprove of U.S. military action in Iran. When ignoring "don't know" respondents, 56% disapprove

β€œThe new war in Iran is very unpopular… worst-ever-support-for-war-when-it-started unpopular.

With just 38% of Americans in favor, support for bombing Iran is lower than retrospective support for the war in Iraq was in 2014.”
