Under FDR the Democratic Party once embraced strong social programs and was rewarded for it.
People like Zohran Mamdani are in that tradition.
The question isn’t whether his ideas are too radical, the question is whether the party still has the courage to fight for the people the way it used to.

I have a feeling Americans will be far more open to free, lifelong, universal healthcare,
once they get a taste of massive cuts to Medicaid.
Dems need to NOT be chickenshit. ACA was a compromise position.
If the GOP is willing to go to the wall to hurt Americans, we need to go to the wall

Trump just said the B-2 pilots called him the other day because they were “devastated by the press.”
“Sir, sir…” they said.
Bull. Fucking. Shit.

I put together a bunch of Trump's full Truth Social posts in this column because it's important that people see the sum-total of his lunacy. Most never do. If you have a place to share this where others might see it, I'd appreciate it. ✊

No? Then don’t do that shit on the internet either.

I don’t believe a single goddamn thing coming out of this administration. This is absolute gaslighting madness. It’s as if we’re watching toddlers run through the White House screaming and smearing Gogurt into the carpet and the entire world has to pretend it’s the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

I have been screaming this for weeks. The constitutional crisis isn’t with the executive branch (though yes it is acting lawlessly), it’s Congress. The calls are coming from inside the House, as it were

I wish trump would do something to help us like putting a social media post declaring climate change is over and that it will forever be cooler, thank you Mother Nature for your attention to this matter.
It might work.

"Their worst hour" - that is the way to describe the media's coverage of trump and the Israeli-Iran conflict the last 24 hours.
Trump's social media posts were treated as diplomatic masterstrokes when it was clear they were delusional rants of a madman. The media expressed no skepticism at all

Absolutely. The last 24 hours of the media pretending social media posts are somehow groundbreaking diplomacy has been especially nauseating
The last few days have truly been a low point for the American news media. And it’s all because journalists in this country—and their corporate masters—lack the courage to say what they all know and say endlessly in private:
That Trump is stupid, and nuts.

I'm gonna say it again: I am done with the "why are you surprised" trolls.
The capacity to remain shocked and upset by what is happening in our country is a sign that you are not numb to fascism.
We have good reason to be shocked by SCOTUS endorsing the sale of migrants into slavery, for instance.

Maybe Congress could pass a law or something. You know, do some legislating
BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court allows Trump to resume deporting migrants to third countries with minimal notice. Justice Sotomayor dissented, criticizing the Court for rewarding lawlessness and undermining due process.

Ever think about the fact that all the strife in the world is caused by a handful of assholes playing with everyone's lives.
And people who don't want any of it outnumber them by the billions, yet the people on the same side are divided by stupid shit so we do nothing about it?
