The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
Walk into a sandwich shop. It’s regulated for health and safety.
But AI, which will transform the world economically and socially, is completely unregulated. That’s insane.
We need to make certain that AI works for ALL humanity, not just the billionaires who own it.
Dear corporate media: if Congress hasn’t authorized it, then either it’s not a war or it’s an illegal war. Those are your choices.
Virginia’s Democratic controlled legislature has officially passed legislation prohibiting schools in the state from teaching lies about the January 6 insurrection.
Love this, all blue states should follow their lead and do the same.
The United States of America needs to get its financial house in order.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
He was against stupid wars until he wasn’t.
Dubois back in the lineup has already had a huge impact on improving the team defense.
Yes. We need a moratorium on data center construction.
Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.
Canada has the best 3 or 4 players in the world, but the U.S has more depth, especially on defense. . . and the better goalie.
Government by the people requires restoring power and responsibility to the people.
Increasing taxes on billionaires is fiscal responsibility.
Wow. What an incredible idea. We should write this system down on paper and call it, say, the Constitution
Justice Jackson: “When Congress tells us why it has included certain language in a statute, the limited role of the courts in our democratic system of government—as interpreters, not lawmakers—demands that we give effect to the will of the people.” #tariffs
They want to control and limit the right to vote because it is the most effective means the people have to control and limit their power.
The corruption of this regime is obscene. They are stealing from the American people.

Congress should not be passing laws making it more difficult for Americans to vote.
Great job Minneapolis! You stood strong and won!
Minneapolis Stood Strong — And ICE Is Backing Down

Your Black History Moment
Not in The Epstein Files.
What's most amazing about this is the fact that the WSJ needed a “study” to figure it out.
The real BOSS!
Damn proud of Minnesota.
From Aaron Rupar: All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.
Precisely.
Happy Birthday, Dolly!

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.
It was an extrajudicial execution. Anyone who defends this is defending a police state.
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/
