100% Agree. These are Dem propagandists and gaslighters.
These same people telling you Biden was fine until they couldn't hide it. Telling you Kamala could win when internal polling showed she had little to no chance.
They're just in on the grift. Where do you think the Dems spent $1.5 Billion?

That’s how you do a headline
The House speaker emerita—the only woman to have served in the position—will not run for reelection, allowing a new generation to step up. She has been in office since 1987. trib.al/aifzKfl

So the fine folks (bots?) over at X can go F themselves. Apparently they just decide that content/replies they don't approve of will just get you shadow-banned.

For the “war = offense + defense” crowd…the U.S. dropped “War Dept” in 1947 because it carried the wrong signal to citizens and the world. Calling it “Defense” projected restraint in a nuclear age. Switching back now isn’t semantics, it’s a deliberate rebrand toward aggression.

This is what manufacturing consent looks like in 2025.
Elite media is asking you to believe that Democrats literally losing means they're winning, and elite media is also asking you to believe a Democrat who is actually winning is too risky.

Last week, the IPC, the world's top food-crisis authority, made it official: famine is occurring in Gaza.
And still, nothing changed.
This is the most widely reported, predictable, avoidable, and intentional famine in living memory.

American taxpayers spent $6 billion to develop Ozempic's key ingredient & yet now a foreign corporation gets to use our patent laws to charge Americans the world's highest prices for that drug that we already paid for.
What stage of capitalism is this?

You’ve Already Paid $6 Billion For Weight-Loss Drugs You Can’t Afford
U.S. taxpayers spent billions developing Ozempic-type diabetes and weight-loss drugs — now those drugs’ markups could bankrupt the U.S. health care system.

8 years ago, a billionaire Trump donor said his “dream” is to have private equity access Americans’ 401k savings.
Today, Trump is reportedly signing an executive order to make his donor’s dream come true.
Your 401k will now be private equity’s bailout.

Okay Michigan. I know Senator Slotkin was too busy trying to fix her image by going on the Colbert Show instead of showing up to vote on the bill (She would never vote against it anyway)
So where the heck was Senator Gary Peters? Was he too afraid of AIPAC repercussions to attend and vote? Coward

Trump out there praising our US Military while also actively cutting funding to the VA is entirely on brand for Trump and Republicans.
I've said it before and will say it again. There hasn't been a decent Rep President since Eisenhower. It's also the last time they presided over a balanced budget.

It's hard to focus on Israel's airstrikes in Lebanon due to Israel's invasion of Syria, which is hard to focus on due to Israel's atrocities in the West Bank, which are hard to focus on due to Israel's genocide in Gaza, which is hard to focus on due to Israel's war on Iran.

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
