Killing two people clinging to a capsized and sinking boat in the middle of an ocean is a war crime. Period. If this is not clear, imagine how Americans would react if this was a US Navy craft and Venezuela fired a 2nd round of missiles to kill US sailors in the water.

It's astonishing to see how Republicans always avoid root causes to a problem and instead focus on some greedy or hateful quackery. The 50-year mortgage and deportations will have zero effect on making homes more available and affordable to Americans. @winnabledemraces.bsky.social #NoKings
Donald Trump proposing 50-year mortgages sparks MAGA backlash
Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte said on Saturday that the Trump administration is working on a plan to introduce the longer-term mortgages.

This is how democracy works. You share your point of view and debate it. Um, my point of view on both these issues is that it is immoral, indecent, and corrupt to starve families and gut healthcare to make big corporations more profitable and keep the top .01% of Americans obscenely wealthy.

A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not.

Good morning.
Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos.
But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong.
A huge risk to not learn that lesson.

Oh, the irony. If only Republican voters could imagine that there might be some people who want to rile them up to use them. Consider this advice. Use the rules you learned in kindergarten to inform how you vote.
The only person who has been seizing private companies through the power of the state is Trump.

Geez, we really are living in a dark fairy tale (The Emperor’s New Clothes, by Hans Christian Andersen). It's scary fascinating to actually see a real person with ego dialed up to 100% and self-awareness dialed down to 0%. If Trump was a boss at a public company, all the employees would despise him.
The President of the United States thinks a test for dementia is an IQ test, and none of his sycophants will tell him he’s wrong.
