Upon review, Vance's stunt is even worse than imagined. It was a product of ineptitude: Z went into a detailed recap of Russia reneging on agreements (to underscore the need for guarantees-b4-ceasefire). Vance (a DEI admit at Yale Law) is overwhelmed and /1

This asshole Trump advisor just said on CNN that the White House is “not afraid” to cut Medicaid and says “everything” is “on the table” including cuts on Social Security. MAGA is about to lose their health care.

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker. Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

They will come to regret this.
The GOP House budget is a lesson in what class war looks like in 2025: • $4.5T in tax cuts for the rich • Up to $880B cut from Medicaid • Up to $230B cut from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

Today, we unequivocally and unapologetically reaffirm, to the United States of America and to the World, the following undeniable and indisputable facts. We ask all Americans, including all elected officials from all Parties and all levels of Government, to join us by sharing and reposting this message for the World to see: 🇺🇸 Three years ago today, Vladimir Putin illegally invaded Ukraine without justification and without provocation.   🇺🇸 The United States of America stands for the Rule of Law, and respects and defends the borders and territorial sovereignty of all Freedom-Loving Nations.   🇺🇸 Ukraine is an independent, sovereign, and freedom-loving nation, and is an ally of the United States of America and the Free World.   🇺🇸 Vladimir Putin, through his illegal invasions, genocide, kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of innocent civilians, including women and children, is an enemy of the United States of America and the Free World.   🇺🇸 The United States of America stands with Democracies and opposes Dictatorships. 🇺🇸 Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the Legitimately Elected President of Ukraine through a free and fair election.   🇺🇸 Vladimir Putin is an Unelected Dictator who imprisons his political opponents and who has never held a free and fair election.   🇺🇸 The Ukrainian election has been delayed because Ukraine is under daily relentlessly bombings, over 200 per day, by Vladimir Putin, and Ukraine is in a State of 24/7 Martial Law.   🇺🇸 Ukraine will hold their elections as soon as Vladimir Putin stops his unprovoked, unjustified daily bombings inside Ukraine. 🇺🇸 If Putin is rewarded for his illegal invasion and genocide, this will serve as a green-light incentive to other Dictators, such as CCP Chairman Xi Jinping, to pursue their own conquests (i.e. Taiwan), which will lead to more instability across the Globe. 🇺🇸 Dictators like Vladimir Putin are the Adult Versions of the School Yard Bullies that we all confronted in Grade School. And they must be dealt with in the same exact way. There is Peace through Strength, and there is War through Weakness. There is no magical third option.   #PeaceThroughStrength

As many inexplicably seem to be throwing President ⁦@ZelenskyyUa⁩ to the wolves, I stand with him. He’s been an astoundingly courageous and inspiring leader in horrendous circumstances, and deserves so much better than the way he is currently being treated/smeared.

Replying to @CurtisHouck
Just like 80% of Americans once opposed equal rights for women, blacks, minorities and gays. The hilarious part of Cons is they oppose anything for a while and then stop opposing it as it is shown to be safe and it enters the mainstream. Rock 'n roll, equal rights, gays.,etc.

This is the richest country on earth. 770,000 Americans should not be homeless, and 20 million more should not be spending over half their incomes on rent or a mortgage. We need to invest in affordable housing, not Trump’s massive tax breaks for billionaires.

So basically the Trump Admin’s immigration policy is to increase the number of people from other countries who come in and take high-skilled, high paying American jobs, while deporting everyone else doing physically grueling jobs for shit wages?

Not only is the right to a safe and legal abortion a matter of personal freedom, it’s also a major factor in the movements for racial and economic equality.

Black women & all underserved communities already experience inequitable barriers & limited access to adequate health care services. Many communities targeted w/ voter suppression are the same ones most impacted when reproductive freedom is limited or taken away #AbortionRights

Should Sonia Sotomayor retire? Sure. Of course she should, don't be stupid. Will she? No. Of course not, don't be stupid. Democrats lack the strength and the will to play hardball with the Supreme Court. It's why we fail. My latest in @thenation thenation.com/article/politi…
