We are the wealthiest nation IN THE WORLD. If we cannot care for our own citizens, then the government needs to be literally dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up. We are human beings. We have supported this economy through our labor, commitment and tax dollars. And our collective financial contribution to this nation has been used for everything BUT improving our lives. Men and women have died in WAR to defend this country. I’ll be DAMNED if even one citizen dies because they can’t afford insulin. Fuck the oligarchy and fuck Donald Trump. WE are the people. Not those PABs sitting on their golden thrones. WE. ARE. THE. PEOPLE.

Epstein’s inner circle wasn’t properly investigated. The FBI dropped the ball, and it’s outrageous. A serious DOJ would reopen this case and start asking the questions that were ignored.

Why I Cannot Be Silent A person recently reached out to me, saying that I am too critical of Trump and the current U.S. administration — and that, as a Christian, I should be more uplifting. I appreciate the concern. But it is precisely because I follow Jesus that I cannot remain silent in the face of a morally bankrupt government. History teaches us a sobering lesson. Most Christians in Germany did not speak out against Hitler. In fact, many supported him, helping to solidify his authoritarian power. But there were also those who refused to remain silent. Among them was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who said: “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” As a Christian, I cannot choose silence when truth, justice, and human dignity are at stake. To be uplifting does not mean ignoring evil; it means standing against it in both word and deed. That is why I will not be silent.

Raise your hand ✋ if you SUPPORT Elizabeth Warren

🚨NEW: The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into Governor Tim Walz for protecting Minnesotans against ICE. RETWEET if you stand with Governor Walz against the Trump Administration!

The French President Just Reminded The World What Class Looks Like Donald Trump stood in front of a camera and did what Donald Trump does. He mocked Emmanuel Macron’s wife. He put on a fake French accent. He told the world that Brigitte Macron “treats him extremely badly” and that the French president was “still recovering from a right hook to the jaw.” It was the geopolitical equivalent of a man shouting at clouds. Macron was in South Korea when someone asked him about it. He paused. He considered the question with the expression of a man who has just been informed that a golden retriever has urinated on his Bentley. Then he said this: “Neither elegant nor up to standard.” Seven words. That was it. Seven words delivered with the quiet, devastating calm of someone who genuinely does not need to raise their voice because the staff will handle it. It was the verbal equivalent of a single raised eyebrow from a man in a perfectly fitted suit, looking down at someone who has just spilled red wine on the carpet at Versailles. Consider the man on the other end of that eyebrow. A man who wears a red baseball cap to diplomatic meetings and a white one to funerals. A man who arrives at the most solemn occasions in the world looking like he has just wandered in from a golf buggy. A man whose morning routine apparently involves industrial quantities of spray tan applied to a face that has, at various medical estimations, the cardiovascular profile of a blocked Manhattan sewer. A man whose idea of a state dinner is a quarter pounder eaten alone in a motorcade. This is the man who decided to lecture the world about Emmanuel Macron’s marriage. Trump called NATO a “paper tiger.” He mocked a head of state’s wife. He uploaded the whole embarrassing performance to the White House YouTube channel, briefly, before someone in the building apparently remembered that diplomacy exists and pulled the plug. Macron’s response landed like a white glove placed gently on a table. Not thrown. Placed. “Neither elegant nor up to standard.” In French diplomatic circles, that sentence is a declaration of war. In English, it translates roughly to: I have noticed your behavior, and I find it beneath comment, which is why I am commenting on it once, quietly, before returning to matters of actual importance. There is a man in this story who has spent eighty years on this earth and still cannot find a suit that fits, a tie that stops at his belt, or a shade of foundation that occurs anywhere in nature. And there is a man who responded to being publicly humiliated by the most powerful person on earth with seven words and a expression that could freeze the Seine. Macron has something Trump has spent his entire life trying to purchase and never quite managed. Class. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Definitely YES

@cindikg161 Yes

Jen Kiggans voted for the largest cuts to Medicaid in history and then refused to extend the ACA tax credits and make health care more affordable. Now she and Congressional Republicans want to cut health care access and funding AGAIN.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the DSCC, DNC, DCCC, DGA, and Leaders Schumer and Jeffries, we have filed a lawsuit to block Trump latest illegal and unconstitutional executive order targeting voting. democracydocket.com/cases/trump-ma…

Mark Levin is the only person I’ve seen praise that batshit crazy speech. Which should tell you exactly how bad it was

BREAKING: Attorney Sherrilyn Ifill spills the beans on Trump's humiliating retreat from the Supreme Court today, says that it was a "good lesson for him" and he's "very small" in such settings. This is exactly the insider insight that we wanted... "So we are here with Sherrilyn Ifill. Sherrilyn, tell us what went on today inside of the Supreme Court," a reporter asked Ifill, the President and Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. "Well, we had an argument in one of the most consequential cases to be heard in years and certainly one of the most consequential cases for the 14th Amendment to our Constitution," said Ifill. Earlier today, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Trump's birthright citizenship case. He's desperately trying to violate the Constitution and tear citizenship away from the 200,000+ Americans who were born in this country to undocumented immigrants. He made history be being the first sitting president to ever attend such oral arguments. Presumably, he was hoping to intimidate the justices. Instead, he was forced to sit there and listen as the justices tour through his administration's case, expressing deep skepticism for the government's argument. At one point, Chief Justice John Roberts told Trump's solicitor general D. John Sauer that while "it's a new world" these days, "it's the same Constitution." Trump eventually fled the courtroom, departing at 11:25 AM while the lawyers were still discussing the case. Clearly, he didn't hear what he had hoped to hear. "This was the case challenging President Trump's executive order trying to restrict birthright citizenship," said Ifill. "The courtroom was obviously packed as you can imagine. Yes, President Trump did show up and sat discreetly in the back. Howard Lutnick was also here with him as well." "The arguments were actually very robust and incredibly good," continued Ifill. "I am so proud of Cecilia Wang from the ACLU who I've rarely heard a better argument in the United States Supreme Court just in terms of her responsiveness, her clarity, her poise, her attention to detail, her knowledge of the subject matter, and her ability to respond to every question and to respond to them in a way that honored the question itself." "I think what we heard today was a masterful argument. This case should be won by the ACLU, by the Barbara plaintiffs, unless something goes terribly wrong," she said. "But with this Supreme Court, it's always hard to tell and so I think we have to remain vigilant." "But I would say those of us who have been trying to do work around this case have done all that we can do and the attorneys for the ACLU did a masterful job of briefing and arguing this case," said Ifill. "They left it all on the floor and I was feeling very proud in there today." "Did you feel that President Trump's unprecedented presence had any impact at all on the vibe in the courtroom or even the decision in the case coming in July?" asked the reporter. "To be honest, not at all in terms of the vibe of the courtroom," said Ifill. "And I think it was actually a good lesson for him. There are just places in which he's very small and the Supreme Court and the gallery and the arguments in the Supreme Court, they have their own choreography. It's its own atmosphere that has been set for a very, very long time. "Those of us who are in there, especially those of us who are members of the Supreme Court Bar, know what that atmosphere is supposed to be like. And they run a very tight ship in terms of security and so forth. So there were no shenanigans," she added. "It didn't change the environment at all. And so we'll see what happens." There you have it. Trump projects a strongman persona to his supporters but behind closed doors, seated before the full power of the judicial branch, he's just a pathetic old man. Remember that the next time that he blasts out some deranged Truth Social screed. Please ❤️ and share!

BOOM. @hakeemjeffries: “Billions of dollars are being wasted right now to drop bombs in the Middle East” but “This same group of extremists won’t spend a dime to make life more affordable for the American people.” Americans are PISSED. And Republicans are to blame.

🚨 DEMOCRATS JUST PASSED PAID SICK & MEDICAL LEAVE IN VIRGINIA. Starting January 1, 2029, every working Virginian will be able to take paid time off for illness, having a new child, or caring for a family member.

Jake Tapper told you that Joe Biden was mentally and physically incompetent. Today — the same day Trump made a fool of himself in prime time — we saw a healthy Biden on a plane, greeting fans, reading a newspaper and writing notes by hand.

George Conway on Republicans: “They’re sweating bullets. I think they’re very very worried. I think they’re scared. I think they realize Trump has no plan in Iran, he has no plan for anything. It’s just all about him making things up as he goes along. The TSA debacles, that’s not good. The Republicans own that”

Joe Biden doesn't need velvet ropes, gold-plated theatrics, or his name stamped on everything to look important. He could ride Amtrak, fly commercial, and talk to everyday people just fine. A real man of the people. And he will always be a better president and a better man than Donald Trump.

Gavin Newsom just announced that California will be the first state to join the World Health Organization. This is in direct defiance of Donald Trump, who just pulled the United States out of the organization.

The meltdown over Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is truly something EVERYONE needs to pay attention to. You see, as the first & only black woman to ever serve on the court, she had to be 10 times better than most… She continues to flex her brilliance in oral arguments & many dissents. Please note that by the time a black woman ascends to a powerful position, she Definitely Earned It… if you have any questions… let’s talk about Senator, now Secretary Mullin… or please pull the resumes of some of the other justices before entering this chat… actually just don’t, it’s not a debate, these are FACTS (alternative facts = LIES).
