Anyone who has millions of dollars to spend on political campaigns, then they should have enough money to pay their fair share of taxes.

The Republican Party, which always points out how the United States wastes money unnecessarily abroad... where did ‘America First’ go?

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Cubans and other Latinos in Florida continue to support him despite all this. Their fear of the communism they were fleeing leads them to seek a far-right dictator as a solution to their fears.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

With this corrupt Supreme Court, it's only a matter of time before they ban birthright citizenship.

The right wing response to Zohran is a prelude to what they will likely do should someone like AOC run for President so make note of it now. Unrelenting racism and fear mongering.

I already have a feeling they’re going to attack him the same way they did with Bernie Sanders, saying he wanted to turn the United States into Venezuela, when he was actually talking more about making it like the Nordic countries.

For the media agenda, the only thing that matters is that candidates prioritize the interests of the rich, that's all

I knew politics was totally rigged bc of Bush V. Gore. It was so fuckin obvious.
And everything that happened during his reign of terror. These people play with our lives like chess pieces on a bored. They destroy land & lives. It’s the definition of evil incarnate.

I feel pretty sorry for all those MAGA sheep who blindly gobbled up Trump's bullshit lies that "the Russia-Ukraine war would've never happened if I was president! The Israel-Gaza war would've never happened if I was president!"

I was recently listening to a discussion where someone said that Latinos haven't been supportive of Black struggles in the United States, and I have to agree, they don't see it as their problem. Plus, they come from countries where there's a lot of racism against Indigenous and Black people

It was always a crystal clear 100% certainty that if the orange convicted felon was sent back into the White House instead of being sent to prison that he would bring the United States into war, economic collapse and total chaos. This is on everyone who voted for him.
