Brooklyn born, a New Yorker at heart, Big time Mets, Knicks, Rangers, Giants fan. A political junkie, an unabashed progressive. I support the aims of those who call themselves Democratic Socialists, making life better for less fortunate Americans.
Every American should watch tonight's SOTUM speech. (State Of Trump's Unhinged Mind) Take in every lying, boastful, self-serving, derogatory word and realize how contrary to the American values we cherished in past years he is. Contrast what he says with the reality of the past year and remember it.
The SCOTUS has ruled that Trump used illegitimate means to establish his precious tariffs, which are therefore unconstitutional. Rather than accepting their ruling, as any other president would. he vilifies the Court and plans to circumvent their ruling and impose tariffs by other means
Why have Democrats abandoned the fight to restore the subsidies to the Affordable Care Act? Why aren't we including these subsidies as a condition to re-open the government agencies that are now shut down? Were the expected huge increases in health care premiums a hoax?
Does anyone believe that Trump is trying to build these huge detention facilities all across America solely to house migrant detainees? They sound like concentration camps to me. Beware. If you don't protest and put a stop to his gestapo tactics, you may soon be an inhabitant in one of those camps.
The 700-person drawdown by ICE in Minneapolis does not seem to have changed their tactics on the ground. Still violent, still targeting migrants (legitimate and undocumented alike) and citizens, with no regard for criminality. Democrats MUST stand firm, demanding real meaningful reforms.
Rep Comer's insistence on closed hearings to question the Clintons is typical @Republicans obfuscation. He seeks to hide their testimony so he can cherry pick the transcript to make them look bad. Cudos to ex-Rep Greene for supporting Hillary Clinton's demand for transparency.
America, once the shining example of what every other country admired, is now the laughingstock of the world. Alienated from its historical allies, cozying up to its previous foes, we are destroying a world order that has worked to our advantage for the last 80 years. We must change course.
What has America come to? Is this what those who voted for him in 2024 desired? Expected? A masked national police force, mirroring Hitler's gestapo, terrorizing the public, violently suppressing any who dissent and protest. Shooting innocent Americans and vilifying them to justify their actions.

Today's shooting in Minneapolis caps a calamitous week in which the government demonstrated over and over again that they will lie without conscience to cover up the illegal acts of their ICE agents. They are the problem-not the solution. The true solution is immigration reform, not violent removal
Trump supporters follow his lead in distorting the truth, and downright lying, to support the illegal acts of his administration in regard to the Epstein files, Venezuela, migrant control, and other endeavors. He has created a national police force, like Hitler, to carry out his evil agenda.
The current actions of ICE are contrary to the objectives Trump previously stated. Rather than focusing in criminals, Icestapo agents now grab random migrants and even U/S. citizens for detention. Is it any wonder that Ms. Good sought to flee?
@adams-steve.bsky.social Steve, do you think an offer of Sproat, Vientos, Acuna, Nick Morabito, Jonathan Santucci and Jack Wenninger to the Twins for Byron Buxton and Joe Ryan makes any sense?
I am watching issues like Trump's weaponizing the Justice Dep't to go after his political opponents, the Gerrymandering efforts, the election of a Democratic Socialist as Mayor of NYC. And so much more

Using the power of government to better the lives of the middle class and underprivileged is not Socialist. It's just decent & right!
Misusing the power of government to benefit the rich and privileged, those who do not need government assistance, is not Conservative. It is just greedy & wrong!
Daily Humor from the New Yorker Cartoon by Sarah Kempa
So wave your flags and cheer aloud,
Pretend I’m noble, strong, and proud.
But deep inside, it’s all a show,
A borrowed crown, a borrowed glow.
And if the vault runs dry someday,
I’ll simply shrug and fly away.
Don't laugh at me, Argentina.
It's just $40 million dollars. It's from America's vault, so if you default, It wouldn't cost me a peso.
You knew I was never honest. I'm in it for dough, but if you guys blow, the taxpayers may never know.

My comment: "It ain't funny McGee. Trump's bullying tactics seem to be working on the media, forcing them to silence the late-night hosts who dare criticize His Unholyness, exercising their First Amendment rights of free speech.
You can still be popular after you have lost your teeth. Acquire new skills.

Two wrongs DO make a right. Gerrymandering is wrong, whenever it is done. Texas is trying to steal additional representation in Congress by redistricting at the expense of minority voters. California and other blue states are threatening to retaliate by following Texas' lead. Fight fire with fire

Sad that these are the only two alternatives stated. NO! Israelis MUST come to their senses and accept the fact that a two-state solution, with an independent and self-sufficient Palestine, is their ONLY viable alternative. Else, they will be an apartheid nation, shunned by the rest of the world.
2. This is a Fascist wannabe regime bent on enriching the already wealthy even more, at the expense of the poor and the middle class. The Big Ugly Bill does it! Tariffs do it! DOGE does it. And by hog-tying all branches of government they will seek to retain power beyond 2026 & 2028.
