We will need to reform the Supreme Court, break the filibuster, and fire every Democratic member of Congress who refuses to liberate politics from money, reforming the Supreme Court and reversing Citizens United are at the top of the list.

America is in a fight for its very survival. And the leaders of the Democratic Party in the US Senate are just not up to the challenge. Time to turn the page on them. With prejudice.

Democrats who care about the country should not just vote no on this terrible capitulation to Trump and MAGA. They should demand a change in Dem leadership in the Senate and support primarying these folks who so clearly are not up to the challenge our country faces at this moment.

Ed Martin, using his official DOJ account, is now promoting an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory accusing a former Capitol Police officer of planting pipe bombs on J6.
Just yesterday, a post from the same account claimed it was “false” that the DOJ had identified Shauni Kerkhoff as the suspect.

There’s no need to overthink it or give this administration credit for strategy on this issue. Contempt for the poor is a foundational plank in the Republican belief system. This administration is more ruthless than previous GOP admins, but this is just who Republicans are and have been for decades.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”
The result was “institutionalized hunger.”
