Does anyone ever think - Mark Kelly 2028?
My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

Alaska vowed to resolve the murders of Indigenous people.
But when one nonprofit asked state law enforcement officials for a fundamental piece of data — a list of Indigenous murders they’d investigated — the state said no.

Alaska Vowed to Resolve Murders of Indigenous People. Now It Refuses to Provide Their Names.
When the nonprofit Data for Indigenous Justice filed public records requests with the Alaska Department of Public Safety concerning cases it had investigated, the state rejected them.

What Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan did was not incompetence. It was intentional misconduct. They both must be disbarred.

I agree. #Misogyny runs deep in the #US. BUT - if we actually get people organized, registered & out to vote, we can have anyone we want. Look at the #midterms that just passed. #dems #democrats #dnc
TWICE female candidates for President who was experienced, qualified with ethics & values. TWICE we passed the women up for a narcissist with a record of inept mismanagement. Look at the record of how many female heads of state who have done an exceptionally good job.
Misogyny runs deep in America.

#Conway is still a rightwing phony. Just so we all know.
Psst, hey... quick reminder: George Conway is still a trustee at The Heritage Foundation. His foundational political ideology is incompatible with Democratic ideals. If he wants to run for office, he can do it as a goddamn Independent, NOT A DEMOCRAT.
Do not let them infiltrate the party.

Anti Zionism isn’t just “criticism of Israel”. It erases Jewish peoplehood.

Some of you make me sick. Mamdani kisses the ring and he's a "brilliant strategist" and "diplomatic genius".
Jeffries & Schumer get crucified for even whispering the word bi-partisan. Whitmer got flamed for her visit. Harris is still being bludgeoned for appearing with Cheney.

this man has blood on his hands and everyone who supported him and excused him has blood on their hands and I do not want to hear a single fucking Democrat with any position other than "impeach and remove him immediately"

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

Here's the full context of #Mamdani 's remarks. THIS is why Jews didn't want to vote for him. As ALWAYS, you told us we were "overreacting". And AS ALWAYS YOU were *wrong& & WE were RIGHT. #antisemitism #ny #jewsky

We condemn the blatantly antisemitic “Israel’s Friendsgiving Dinner” protest that took place both inside and outside of Union Station in Washington, D.C., this week.
