Why isn't MSM reporting on ALL the ways Republicans fail the American people? Every show, every hour, numbingly repeats what was already said by their paid talking "analysts." It's so lazy of them. MSM, be BRAVE, focus on details We the People need to hear in order to make informed decisions.

I agree. Obama did nothing because he couldn't envision this future. Biden "studied" the issue and did nothing. The only option was for Dems to pack the court. It's too late now.

Because they're scared they'll be sued by Trump, and/or they're all owned by right-wing billionaires.

Nope, only right-wingers are all in on the lies being told. Everyone else is smart enough to fact check.

Apparently. Why isn't the media asking that question?

Isn't she a black woman? I think Trump would have a problem endorsing her.

Joni @exhoosier.bsky.social · 5d

Bingo!

Do they even hear about it?

Joni @exhoosier.bsky.social · 5d

I think Thomas and Alito are enjoying themselves.

Joni @exhoosier.bsky.social · 5d

I agree. It's disgusting how they're all on air today asking Democrats to give credit to Trump for solving war in the Middle East. Would they have done that for any other president? No, it wouldn't even have occurred to them.

She said it was also her 2 adult children's premiums doubling that convinced her.

Yes, they need to be quickly removed from office. If not, they'll do it again.

Keep this one going. The 🤡 has been given blanket immunity. The rest of the asshats have none.
Zero. Nada!
We’re going to win this war. When we do, we will be coming for all of them!

I was 10. I went to a Pentecostal church with a friend, and people were speaking in tongues. It was so fake, I wondered what else they were faking.

They did it to McGrath in Kentucky. Progressives need to learn moderate Dems are sometimes the best option in swing districts. It's either that or a Republican.

Joni @exhoosier.bsky.social · 9d

That's what all Republicans choose to do to keep the base happy.

Just freeze all their assets. Money and power are all they really care about.

Joni @exhoosier.bsky.social · 10d

It depends on how determined the leaders are to right the wrongs. Dems tend to be overly concerned with fairness. They need to aggressively challenge Republicans, like Republicans do against Dems, only with facts—not lies.

Even if they knew, they'd still vote Republican and blame all their problems on "the libs" because Trump would tell them some lies, and they believe everything he says.

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare.

But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there.

Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

She's also pointing to a time when the life expectancy was much lower. Longer life = longer childhood.
