"I am a member of no organized party; I am a Democrat."

A classic saying and a reminder that our Party is NOT PERFECT!

But they align with my values, and they represent our best shot to fight Trump.

Continuing to hamstring them is NOT A SMART PLAY.

And I will fight you if you try.

"A top Wall Street analyst has sounded an alarm over the U.S. equity bull market, warning that its remarkable run is built on a precariously narrow foundation: a surge in spending on, and optimistic assumptions about, infrastructure for artificial intelligence (AI)."

75% of gains, 80% of profits, 90% of capex—AI’s grip on the S&P is total and Morgan Stanley's top analyst is 'very concerned' | Fortune

The long bull market since 2022 is a "one-note narrative" since the explosion of ChatGPT, according to Lisa Shalett, CIO of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.

BASH: Are you gonna look into the way ICE is conducting itself?

JIM JORDAN: We're going to look into the whole situation where you have these mayors--

BASH: So you'll only look into that side and not federal law enforcement?

JORDAN: Wuh wuh wuh we'll look into all this

This is stupid. I'm no zionist, but they're calling for the total elimination of the state of Israel? How would that even work? Ridiculous.

The White House previewed that it would pursue the aggressive layoff tactic shortly before the government shutdown began on Oct. 1, telling all federal agencies to submit their reduction-in-force plans to the budget office for its review.

White House Fires Federal Workers to Pressure Dems on Shutdown

The White House budget office said Friday that mass firings of federal workers have begun as the government shutdown continues.

Nothing is going to ingratiate P to Maine voters more than a bunch of 19 year old kids from Brooklyn blowing up their phones and supporting him with their New York accents.

And I mean that with all of the sarcasm I can muster.

Again, ask Gideon how that tactic worked.

"While the claim that Hamas uses hospitals as human shields is frequently made, there is no substantial evidence to support it."

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Donald Trump's reckless and cruel leadership has pushed families to the brink.

While he uses shutdowns to scapegoat workers, California is stepping up by providing 248,000 federal workers with critical state protections and relief.

We don’t treat public servants as pawns.

The Washington Post: “Trump administration begins laying off federal workers amid shutdown.”

I keep seeing this get posted. The AZ electors were charged a year and a half ago. The AZ Superior Court ENDED the case five months ago. The AZ AG will have to appeal to the AZ Supreme Court or go back and start again with a grand jury. Please stop sharing this.

Bernie is nothing but a hindrance in that effort.

Mills is a full senate term younger than Bernie is, and Bernie has already filed for a reelection that's still half a decade away.

As long as Bernie is in office, "turn the reins over to the younger generation" will continue to be a punchline.

She announced today.

Hence all of the whining about how it's Temu Forest Gump's "turn".

They literally have no reason to oppose Mills other than ageism, and no reason to support P other than "Bernie likes him".

But don't call it a cult.
