I can’t watch the news because it is infuriating that the orange guy has no accountability. I blame the media for normalizing him.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

This is the reporter that Donald Trump called "Piggy." She is Catherine Lucey, currently with Bloomberg.
I don't think it is a coincidence that, back in 2018, Lucey was the first reporter to ask Trump about Stormy Daniels. Trump responded with a lie, but, clearly, did not forget the question.

Epstein offered the NY Times photos of Trump with young girls in bikinis during his first campaign in 2015.
The NY Times declined them because they were just too busy hyperventilating over Hillary’s private email server.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

The depths to which the R's will sink knows no low. The Senate D's are trying to match the antics by selling out the American people who have said loudly, in no uncertain terms, that we will have #NoKings. Every new day brings a fresh hell of infuriating and deplorable behavior from these jokers.
Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

Momentum is a real thing.
Democrats finally had some, after massive turnouts for #NoKings and resounding wins in both red and blue states last week.
The majority of the country, rightfully so, held Trump and the GOP accountable for the government shutdown.
