Al Gore lost in 2000 as a centrist. John Kerry lost in 2004 as a centrist. Hillary lost in 2016 as a centrist. Kamala lost 2024 as a centrist. If we’re going to win the 2026 midterms, we must abandon centrism all together. If the Democratic Party is to survive we must go left

As someone who was an adult during the 2008 recession, why haven't we called this a recession yet?

🇨🇺 Trump signs executive order dramatically escalating "sanctions" on Cuba, targeting energy, finance, and security sectors President Trump signed an executive order Friday, marking one of the most sweeping expansions of US economic pressure on Cuba in decades, blocking the US assets of foreign individuals and entities operating in Cuba's energy, defense, financial services, metals, mining, and security sectors, as well as anyone acting on behalf of the Cuban government. The order also authorizes sanctions on foreign financial institutions that conduct significant transactions with designated Cuban entities, potentially cutting them off from US correspondent banking. This move could further isolate Cuba from the international financial system, limit foreign investment, and exacerbate the island's already severely restricted access to medicine, food imports, and basic goods. The order builds on Trump's January declaration of a national emergency over Cuba — the same legal basis used to justify the ongoing fuel blockade. Researchers at the Center for Economic and Policy Research found that US unilateral coercive measures had driven Cuba's infant mortality rate to its highest level in decades, rising 148% since 2018.

Forgive me but if the future of the party looks like Platner and Mamdani I’m just gonna have to be an independent. My patience does have limits.

Israel quadruples propaganda budget to $730 M as it loses global ‘war for hearts and minds' —— Israel has approved an unprecedented $730 million public diplomacy budget for 2026—a fourfold increase from the previous year—in a desperate bid to reverse a catastrophic decline in international support, according to a report from The Forward. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar described the expenditure as a strategic necessity on par with "investing in jets, bombs, and missile interceptors," signaling that the state now views its deteriorating reputation as an existential threat. The massive allocation, which is nearly 50 times pre-2023 levels, will fund AI-driven social media campaigns, paid influencer networks like the "Esther Project," and luxury "lifestyle" delegations for foreign lawmakers and pastors. Despite the record spending, experts and internal critics warn that "no amount of money" can bridge Israel's growing credibility gap. A recent Pew Research Center poll reveals that 60% of Americans now view Israel unfavorably, with support "cratering" among young Republicans, Black Protestants, and the religiously unaffiliated. Analysts point to a "Gaza generation" that increasingly views Israeli policy through the lens of genocide and settler-colonialism, making traditional hasbara (propaganda) ineffective. As one scholar noted, the strategy of spending hundreds of millions on "tactical productions"—such as sitcoms and documentaries—fails to address the "negative realities" on the ground that have turned Israel into a pariah state for a new generation.

Trump: "I raised the tariffs on cars and trucks to 25%. That's billions of dollars coming into the United States. We have right now in the United States over $100 billion of car plants being built. It's a record."

She’s right. Remember when AIPAC came after her and the liberals who love to scream about “ProTeCtInG bLaCk wOmEn” were nowhere to be found?
