The Pentagon just failed its 8th consecutive audit and still got approved for a $1 TRILLION budget without blinking so I'm gonna need every corrupt hypocritical politician complaining about made up food stamp fraud and forcing drug tests and work requirements on poor people to shut up forever. Thx.

Who Save America Act could disenfranchise:

-146 million without passport

-69 million married women who took spouse's last name

-21 million without ready access to citizenship docs

-21 million without current drivers license

-Rural voters forced to drive 4.5 hours to show docs at election office
You need to know about the SAVE Act, which recently passed in the House.

So here's a crash course from reporter Ari Berman on how the sweeping voter restriction bill could disenfranchise millions of Americans

When Democrats figure out who the candidate will be that Democrat voters would vote for instead of the Democrat candidate Republicans would vote for, that’s their way out. Until then they’re gonna lose

Hakeem Jeffries says he will always support the incumbent Democrat over a primary challenger AND he says he will continue to take AIPAC money even when AIPAC is targeting the incumbent Democrat.

You can't do both Mr. Minority Leader.

It's literally overt hypocrisy & it's killing the party.

Her behaviour at the hearings was atrocious. Imagine if any previous Democratic Attorney General had ever responded in the same manner? They'd been drawn & quartered then roasted over a fire pit. I firmly believe her day is coming. She is a pitiful excuse for an AG.

Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated.

The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t...

(Is NY Gov Hochul paying attention?)
Seattle’s millionaire tax is a huge success. Here is how grassroots groups beat big money and are now raising tons of money for mixed income, rent stabilized housing. (We call it “social housing.”)
