What a stupid move but considering the dunce in charge of US defense, not at all surprising. Trump and Hegseth are not the brightest and since they’ve fired to top military strategists, the future is unstable.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

We all should thank scientists like this. He is a reknown expert in vaccine science and autism who actually knows how best to advise the country. RFKjr and the people he has put on the vaccine panels at the CDC have no business advising anyone. Be judicious in where you get your info.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Republicans bowed to pressure from Donald Trump to midcycle gerrymander at the expense of minority voters — only to be sued by my law firm within hours or days.

Getting rid the of final intact portion of the Voting Rights Act Act is racist. It’s right in front of all of us to see, so take a stand. Just stating the obvious.

When a party gerrymanders to hell a map to win, it’s an indictment of their integrity and respect for all Americans. It diminishes the power of Black voters to have a say in their country, to have a seat at the table. It’s wrong. When will we truly guarantee the blessings of liberty to all?

Proudly voted for Harris. If she were President, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Biden ruined her chances by pursuing a 2nd term, but racism played a big role few acknowledge. That along with the worship of celebrity and the disengagement of those who have lost faith in gvt, all too much to overcome.

If Trump’s had not cut taxes for the wealthiest
The deficit would be smaller by $4–5 trillion.
No Medicare cuts would be triggered by PAYGO rules.
Wealth inequality would slow.
The Medicare trust fund would be healthier.
The U.S. gvt would have lower interest costs and room for public investment.

The government may be shut down, but Trump is still managing to get some work done in Washington—like illegally demolishing an entire wing of the White House to build himself a ballroom.

Lifting a finger to lower your health care costs?

Not so much.

Multiply by 2,080 (hours if full time) to get the annual salary. This is only $15,080 a year. If two people in a household worked full time and did not have the expenses of children, after rent, insurance, gas, car repair, utilities, clothing, et. al. of course they need help with food/SNAP.
