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.

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

Last bastion of the damned. Religion. He's been using it as a hustle. Now he's hoping it's real & he hasn't already sealed his fate.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

That was a punk move by the Lions at the end. Pride I get. They were 4-1 entering. But they got their asses handed to them. Mahomes was trying to be gracious.

First game I took my daughter to was November 22nd, 2015 in San Diego. 33-3 romp. I gave her a Tony Gonzalez jersey.

Go Chiefs!

I keep saying it's because of her anti-Israeli stance. While I agree with the premise of defunding Netanyahu in support of his genocide, we all know MTG is an antisemite. AIPAC is going after her. Guys like Cruz & Trump live for Israeli bribes. She's a pariah in their circles.

Heartbreaking that the people who need the most care are the ones being abandoned.

Some of those black Palestinians were brought in as slaves, no?

A Jordanian I knew once said they had a slave growing up.

"You mean servant?"

"No. A slave."

I looked it up. There's still traffic in African slaves in the Middle East.

And you hate Obama.

Interesting...
