Well, the Black people probably don’t want Republicans to vote either. I guess the American “right “ is pretty wrong.

Just a thought: Instead of Argentina, how about we bail out America first?

ICE detained a nonverbal, 15 year-old autistic boy who'd been selling fruit by the side of the road with his family when he took a bathroom break. The family was not notified. He was held in ICE detention for a week before the family could find him.

Uhhhh, given that the government is shut down and the yearly appropriations have expired, does anyone know where the funds for the Argentina bailout are coming from?

The plan to force taxpayers to cover emergency medical costs for non-citizens is a law called EMTALA: signed into law by the infamous democrat Ronald Reagan.

Lisa McClain: "Democrats' plan forces taxpayers to cover the majority of emergency medical costs for all non-citizens. Another $28 billion tab for who? You guessed it, the American people."

I think a man like Neal Katyl should have argued for Keeping Section 2 of The Voting Rights Act

She did a great job today but they hate women.

I am not an expert partisan communicator or anything but for months, it was weird to me how so many Dem leaders and key figures just didn’t tack on things like “… while using armed troops to invade american cities, and using your tax dollars to fund a secret police terrorizing your town” even as…

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

Still waiting for the self proclaimed party of “law and order” to say something about the fact that the President of the United States has illegally deployed troops across the nation. Straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

North Carolina National Guard members are essential to keeping our state and our country safe. Today 841 NC National Guardsmen did not receive their scheduled paychecks and must continue work without pay through the federal government shutdown. That’s unacceptable.

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Through legislation, investments, and partnerships, California salutes the 160,000 active duty service members and nearly 1.5 million veterans who call the Golden State home.

We're committed to honoring their dedication and selflessness every day by giving back.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Now we are up to $40 billion for Argentina. Can anyone stop Bessent from unilaterally sending unlimited amounts of our money to South America? And Republicans won’t even negotiate with the Democrats on health care for Americans. Where is Congress?

He's defending them because he agrees with them. He knows 20-40 year olds are not "kids who made a mistake". He's playing it down because he sees nothing wrong with what they said.
