Dem leadership has failed to meet the moment. They need someone who's been stepping up to meet the moment head on.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

We expect people to do a bit of research instead of posting and letting the world know you like to speak without knowing what you're talking about.

Whenever I'm unsure about a poster I'm replying to, I check their timeline quickly to get more background. It takes like 10 seconds. 🤦🏻‍♂️

4 months apart

Official ICE government account
June 6, 2025:
"To call us 'Nazis' - to compare us to one of the worst groups in history - is disgusting and just outright wrong.
"What the men and women of ICE are doing in Massachusetts and all over this country is making communities safer."
—ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons

Reuters, this is unconstitutional. Maybe put that in the headline? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Legacy media failing, again.

Reuters reporting this blatant crime as if it’s a lunch date is a prime example of the kind of careless, aloof normalization in journalism that has greased the skids of this catastrophic authoritarian power grab.

Seriously, this is how "leftists" sound now. They only helped Trump win because the Democrats forced them to by nominating Kamala. And they refuse to take blame for it.

Also, remind me again, how many rings does Mahomes have? And wasn't one of those against the Eagles?

They should focus on beating Jackson Dart and getting more than 60 yards rushing. Because, when Saquon isn't bailing out the offense with long TD runs like he did last year, the Eagles offense looks ordinary.

Why don't you tell me again how Kamala would have done the exact thing that Trump is doing in Gaza, which he said he would do? 🙄

I don't engage with Trump supporters who disguise themselves as "leftists". They never argue in good faith.

When the local media launch attacks on behalf of the Spurs, the approval rating tends to dip. 🤷🏻‍♂️

“Not going to be great” is quite the understatement by Fox here.

Tweet by FactPost (@factpostnews) reading: “Fox: The tariffs, 10% for lumber, 25% for cabinets, vanities, upholstered furniture. On January 1st, the tariff for cabinets and vanities increase to 50%, all the rest of the furniture to 30%. The cost of building materials has increased 34%. There is a concern that this is not going to be great for the home buying industry.” Below is a Fox Business screenshot showing a reporter in a lumber workshop with the headline “New tariffs on furniture & lumber take effect.”

There is 1 player in NBA history to average 2+ blocks, 2+ assists, and 2+ 3PM per game in a single season. That was Victory Wembanyama last year.

He's also the only player to average 3+ per game in each of those categories.

"7'4"" 😉

But, I thought he was only special because he's tall? That's what all the "ball knowers" say. And Dillion Brooks, who got cooked by Wemby after saying this. 😆

He's launching an attack on Camp Pendleton? Because, launching missiles at a military base seems like an attack.

As for the Chiefs, Mahomes is just that good. Cry about it or beat him. 🤷🏻‍♂️ As a team agnostic football fan, I can't see why everyone hates him so much.

Superstars get super star calls in sports? 🤯 How shocking. And I don't care about Taylor Swift enough to listen to her songs and browse her merch. I just simply choose to ignore. It's not that difficult. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You have hearsay. I showed you actions. But keep your weird hatred.
