I'm a retired member of the United States Coast Guard. I'm very familiar with BS having made my own in the past. I swear like a sailor. However, only when truly necessary. I am and will always be a Democrat! I support good people and defeat the bad ones.

When I saw this, my first thought was, "The governor is essentially asking for a ceasefire. This is an American asking the federal govt for a ceasefire of their attacks so kids can go trick-or-treating."

The regime is waging war on American communities. This is not normal. This must stop.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Good luck with that. The only way to accomplish this is a complete removal of every politician. Then hopefully being able to start over and accomplish this without a civil war.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Trey Sherman, who worked on the now-canceled CBS Evening News Plus, also posted this TikTok clip explaining that every producer of color on the show was laid off -- and every white producer was relocated to another role in the company.

Is CBS is doing race-based layoffs? #cbsnews #layoffs

I found it easier to understand Speake Mike Johnson once I realized he's not just a "flawed Christian."

He is the new Roy Cohn, another duplicitous closet case always eager to advance the agendas of genuinely awful people.

Bullshit. You can do both. And candidates SHOULD do both. Working class/middle class folks are fully capable of caring about BOTH the survival of democracy AND the price of beef. Don’t treat voters like children, talk about both. If you can’t do that, don’t run.

Rep. Neguse: It is outrageous. The Trump administration can come up with $40 billion to bailout Argentina, and refuses to spend the money Congress has appropriated to feed hungry families in America

Trump’s Border Patrol thought they could trample Chicago. Judge Sara Ellis proved them wrong. She dragged their commander into court & made the Constitution bite back. This is what democracy looks like when it fights & wins. Read, post, & share it everywhere:

The Constitution Strikes Back in Chicago

In a Chicago courtroom, Judge Sara Ellis reminded federal power who it answers to: the Constitution.
