Thank you, Congressman Thompson, for taking the correct, moral stand on marriage equality and speaking out against this discriminatory legal action in front of the Supreme Court.

The GOP has shifted so far right that what constitutes “the center” is much more conservative than it used to be and is less representative of the core Dem base.

Unfortunately I remember. So contentious, and no clear right side, imo. Longtime local business vs habitat restoration.

Nope. DiFi supported Drakes Bay Oyster Co. in their fight to continue their long-term lease in the Point Reyes Natl Seashore. The Natl Park Svc wanted the property to revert to nature. No shenanigans by DiFi, just taking one side in a very contentious fight.

A lot of wealthy and powerful people helped Epstein fund his sex trafficking operation. The American people deserve to know who they are. Secretary Bessent, like his boss, is covering it up. I’m going to keep following the money. Stay tuned.

That anger we all see is so disheartening. But it was purposely fomented by bad actors like Gingrich, Limbaugh, and so many others to create division and brand Dems as evil “libtards”. Always remember that division was MANUFACTURED

Partisan polarization increased in the 90’s with Newt Gingrich’s scorched-earth leadership style that denigrated Dems and blocked the Dem’s ability to govern. It came on the heels of Reagan’s “Gov’t is the problem” rhetoric. Poisoned the ideal of “good government” for a lot of folks.
