Thank you Democrats, for fighting for tax credits for ACA Healthcare and for assuring its safety from the grifters in office. We really don't need hospitals to shut down and more people to die.

For the magas who think they're so clever (not) when they ask the question: what is your definition of a woman? I say "she is a human being ". Which means she has the rights and freedom like anyone else under our constitution. Full stop!

The first thing we need to do if we ever get back in power is to expand the Supreme Court and get rid of the Electoral College. Makes me sick that we didn't do it when we had some power. It could be a long time coming now.

I was at the Sparks vs Fever WNBA game on Tuesday in LA when a dildo was thrown on to the court. There was a huge outcry. I've heard 2 things 1. It's to insult players they believe are gay or 2. It's a game to see who can guess what color it. Just a sickening thing to do at a sports event..

My early prediction in the Epstein case is that Ghislaine won't appear at the oversight committee because they won't agree with her demands. I believe this is a ruse that trump lawyers discussed with her to play along with bcuz I think they are aware her case will be overturned by Supreme Court.

Sure sounds like some kind of sex trafficking ring for big bucks. A big giveaway is the extreme wealth of Epstein when no one is really certain how he got it. Also, the first person accounts by these girls is bone chilling. How do they feel about the current situation? We need more focus on them.

It is so frustrating that everyone in this effing Administration refuses to answer honestly to any question about their operation. Everything is just fine and we are totally left in the dark to figure out what the hell's going on. Congress must demand to know what happened with FEMA after the flood.

Is Trump flip-flopping on the tariffs just to influence the stock market for he and his buddies? It's sure seems that way now!

The Epstein debacle has stirred up the magas. Their lock-step march behind Trump has become less stringent and a bit confused....there is always a time when the dictator becomes less desirable as the glitter wears off. I think we're there.

I hope lame brain got in enough golf last weekend while dozens of people died in Texas. Now it's his top "concern" in order to cover up the Epstein debacle.
Hey Supreme Court have you had enough of this s*** yet? I think we'll have a lot of work to do in 2026 and it won't be pretty for you guys.

Trump has changed the tariff dates again?? So he and his pals can grift at the up and down market. Still committing crimes in broad daylight... will this ever end?

Why do we have to wait untill Friday to find out to find out the actual damage to Iran? So unprecedented!!! Trump just wants to keep boasting while no one can dispute it. And who even thinks we'll hear the truth on Friday?

Does anyone believe that Iran is close to having capability to use nuclear weapons? Most people don't think so, even Gabbard, who's the National Security Director! I certainly can't believe anything Trump says and we got very little information before this attack. What a nightmare!!

It's looking good for our two library measures (against book banning and privatization) to pass in Huntington Beach. We'll know more later today but our advocates have done an incredible job here in fighting this. Next vote: vote out the maga City Council who introduced this anti-democratic idea.

Who's paying for all the bloody lawsuits that Trump is involved in? He sues, he loses, and apparently we pay the bill.. wash rinse repeat!

In 2 days, I've heard of at least 3 negative effects of the tariffs, layoffs, etc. in my area - a company doing layoffs (GE), stores closing (Macy's), prices up (farmers market), distribution confusion in big company that has warehouses in Asia due to Trumps start/stop of tarriffs.

Why is Hegseth on vacation instead of sitting in front of oversight committees about the Signal debacle? I think the oversight members could also be more outraged, like the American public. When does an investigation begin?

After the first measles death of a child HHS Secretary Kennedy seemed to downplay the Texas outbreak saying outbreaks were "not unusual," and the 18 kids hospitalized were "mainly for quarantine." A pediatrician on the ground said they couldn't breathe. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

It's disgraceful how Trump talks about getting minerals from Ukraine who has been nothing but courageous under enormous loss.How greedy & ungrateful! Ukraine has kept us safe & deserves our support
period! With all the gutting of the federal govt, we may be in need of help from a Russian invasion!

It has just occurred to me that Mark Cuban would be the perfect candidate to run in 2028. I may be late but he's so bright, straightforward yet empathetic, successful and creative in many genres.I don't think, sadly, the GOP would ever accept a woman. I think he would be a very exciting candidate.

I am more and more concerned today about Trump's demeaning of Zelenski, Vance's speech about the 'enemy within' and the EU possibly putting boots on the ground in Ukraine during the peace talks. See more...

Caitlin Clark is so talented and a unique player. She drew me in to watch almost all of the WNBA games last season. But what I saw was so many incredible players... I was literally shocked that I did not know the level of play these women have. Check 'em out!
