on this day in 2012, 20 children and 6 adults are killed in mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. And with the awful shooting at Brown University yesterday, we still haven't done anything on meaningful national gun laws. Enough is enough.

214 Democrats signed a discharge petition to force an up-or-down vote on extending Affordable Care Act tax credits to make sure tens of millions of Americans don't experience skyrocketing health insurance premiums. They just need FOUR House Republicans to join them.

I’m not trying to be judgmental, but I feel that the people who now say they regret voting for Trump should have had a decent idea what he was all about before Nov 2024.

Trump is intellectually less competent, tactically less savvy, and politically weaker than he was even a year ago. And he's blatantly, flagrantly ill.
The costs of standing by him are going up, and the costs of defying him are plummeting.

Anyone have any idea why Trump’s disgusting comments about Reiner are attracting all this hand wringing from republicans? He has built his entire political movement off of saying disgusting things and being a vile piece of shit to people.

We saw the prototype of the Nero Doctrine with Twitter. The goal wasn't to make it profitable or "free." The goal was to break the one place where news broke faster than the state could spin it.
They bought the town square not to speak in it, but to burn it down so we’d have nowhere else to gather.

Seriously. If you see someone working extra hard to convince you to go back to X, block that turd. It's not a genuine entreaty... it's not earnest, it's a desperate business move.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Yes, and it was never about keeping America safe from immigrants. But about making profits for himself. Other billionaires and the prison industrial complex. The more prisoners they warehouse, the more they make on government contracts. The demonization of immigrants was just a money making scheme.
