The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

So dark and unhinged. The Trump regime is dropping thousands of bombs for clicks.

If you’re not horrified by this you have lost the thread.

Black voters and Jewish voters are the two most loyal Democratic constituencies. They're the Democratic Party's base. And yet somehow the legacy media often refers to Bernie Sanders' band of misfits, who are constantly waging war on the Democratic Party, as its base. They aren't.

Estefany Rodriguez is the latest to come under attack for doing her job as a reporter, covering ICE, giving ppl news the Trump admin would like kept secret. She must be released ASAP. She had a work permit, applied for political asylum, her husband is a US citizen, she had no warrant for an arrest.

Men such as Eisenhower and Marshall weren’t excited about killing people. They weren’t giddy. They thought it was their grim duty, and they went about their business with full recognition of its awfulness, whatever the necessity of it. That’s how leaders ought to be, I think.

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

Joe Biden created 15 million jobs during his presidency. That’s over 72,000 jobs per week

These idiots can’t match that figure in two months. Yet they continue to gaslight America about the strength of the economy

Californians: be on the lookout for cryptocurrency scams.
 
If someone demands payment in crypto, asks you to put your money into a crypto ATM, or sends you a link to an online crypto exchange, it’s probably a scam. #NCPW2026

My heart is with the families grieving loved ones lost in the tornado that struck Michigan tonight. We are holding those who were injured and are now in the hospital in our thoughts and hoping for their full recovery.
