Rs saying to be *all about* deficits had Nat’l parks, Veterans, Medicaid, drug cost, FAA bear all the cuts – while billionaires get their taxes CUT.
Result: The budget passed adds *$19 Trillion* over 10 yrs to deficit. What didn’t make it: cutting taxes on tips, taxes on SS, taxes on overtime. Ha!

Kendrick Lamar showed more courage in the face of rising American tyranny than we’ve seen from ANY former American leader. If you swore an oath to protect this nation, where are you now?

Is it odd we haven't heard a thing - not a word - from our former Presidents? Last I heard George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden were still alive.

Check out the (many) Senate Democrats who voted to confirm Project 2025 co-author John Ratcliffe as Director of the CIA! Unacceptable! Tell them so.
Dems need to wake up real quick, Rs in power are not a party to accommodate and help destroy our country. WTF?

We used to call nations that invaded sovereign countries the Axis of Evil, yes? They were real bad too, as I remember - I think we fought World Wars against them. Right?
Will ANYONE speak up on this? Or are we the bad guys now?

Sen. Tommy Tuberville: "We've gotta take the Panama Canal back. We've gotta do something because if we were to happen to go to war with China over Taiwan and they were to shut the Panama Canal down, we'd have to go 8 to 10,000 miles just to get things back to the war zone."

"But the Dems seem extra wimpy rn, yeah?" YES, accurate!
Where is the opposition party on any of it? I get this is the Repub's disaster in the making - but between the Dems silence or their desire to help Repubs destroy, I can't work out where the Party went. Were the "drones" involved?

My current vibe. Please party-now-in-power: fight for us!! How are so many in Congress, Executive and DOJ so damn passive? For decades. How have they ignored the lawlessness so fully? Jon's recounting the Sen. Parliamentarian story broke me.

The Above-All-Other issues is the dominance of right wing media. It's what doomed Dems, and would have doomed ANY of them. We kid ourselves it was anything we could have done differently. When Rs lost in '20 they did the opposite of soul searching; just ran the same flawed loser!

Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won?
It wasn’t the economy. It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer.

Time, week of Biden's inauguration. The Loser's fans misremember the chaos, instability and pure grift of 45's reign. Nearly ALL his Cabinet speak against him now. He had the biggest turnover of top Admin officials. The "Best People" until they were a "disgrace." Refused peaceful transfer of power!

MSM normalized 45’s criminality, cruelness and 91 indictments. He’s a legally defined RAPIST, fraud! His insanity in office was a disgrace and had us/world worried what he might do next. Why help 45 be a dictator? It's their fault if he gets back in to “finish the job.” And it would be much worse.

If Trump were to be reelected, it would be worse, much worse, than the first time.

So, @washingtonpost.com were you kissing up to Jordan for future access? Solid commitment to the plan to still drop your glowing feature on the "Relentless Wrestler" even after he was voted off the island. It makes your puff profile on him even more gag inducing. Cancelled subscription today.
I feel like that Washington Post profile of Jordan had been crafted for a, you know, different outcome.

The fact HARLAN CROW bought Cornel West shows who's behind the 3rd party spoilers out there. Ask No Labels who funds them. These niche parties only exist to peel off votes from Dems and elect Trump. If you support progress, please don't throw your vote away.

So a judge in NY just ruled 45 is a Fraud, after another judge ruled him a Rapist. And another judge ruled him unfit to run a charity. Front runner GOP? 🤡

Sen. Menendez's indictment, after just escaping punishment before, proves the point - corrupt politicians won't stop till they're STOPPED. I like this new standard of indicting Senators that need removing - please continue.
