In 2017, we only had 6 Democratic trifecta states.

Today, we have 15 Democratic trifecta states and we control even more mayorships and city councils.

There’s enormous opportunity to go on offense to protect our rights & offer a safe-haven to red state residents under threat: indivisible.org/guide

"The ambulance driver put the vehicle into park, causing it to lurch forward...the agents did not like this— & threatened to shoot & arrest the driver. The driver, frightened, asked why. An agent, according to the reports, responded that the driver had attempted to hit him with the ambulance."

So totally off his nut. He says things he wishes were true, or he's hallucinating that they are. I can't see another answer to this.

I hate to be an even bigger buzzkill but as unemployment increases & SNAP & EBT benefits decrease real crime will go up

Not everyone is on foodstamps, but it's likely that your neighbors do rely on food aid. Nothing makes us crankier, desperate & violent as hunger, except maybe drug addiction .

My personal bogus studies have shown that bone spurs, arthritis and other chronic musculoskeletal issues start showing themselves by 60.

In my opinion, those who want to raise the retirement age to 70 have never had to work a real job in their lives.

Trump is saying if Democrats don't bend the knee and let him take health care away from millions, he's just going to turn around and inflict pain by firing American workers and withholding funding from our communities. That's not governing. That's a wannabe king taking hostages.

Everything good goes from nature, everything bad comes from this Republican Congress & their so-called President.

Hops season is at peak in Grandview WA. These trucks are delivering the hop vines to a picking machine where they will be hung upside down to strip the cones from the vines then separated & cleaned before drying the hops with hot air and cooled for local breweries. #WeFeedYou

"Wake up, MAGA: Trump’s disapproval rating is a real problem"

"Trump’s overall lack of attention to the economy, inflation & consumer sentiment is a huge negative for the admin.

The admin’s success depends more on the price of coffee & beef than it does on Kimmel’s latest stupid comment."

The lies are getting dumber.
"Trump made the false claim:

”We’ll probably have a shutdown because 1 of the things they want to do is they want to give incredible Cadillac Medicare, to illegal immigrants. "they want to have illegal aliens get massive health care at the cost to everybody else.”

FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to 'illegal immigrants'

This is false. Democrats say they are pushing for the inclusion of key health care provisions in the next congressional spending package.

"I got to tell you,” said Scott, R-S.C. “Thank you, to all of y’all, for getting rid of Sherrod Brown,” the Ohio Dem who lost his Senate seat in 2024 to Repub Bernie Moreno.

“Literally, the industry put Bernie Moreno in the Senate,” according to a video from the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium.

Crypto spent millions to defeat Sherrod Brown and elect allies. It's ready for a repeat in 2026

The cryptocurrency industry spent millions last year to unseat a longtime critic, Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown in Ohio, and install its allies in Washington.
