So the US military is about to become the Drug Enforcement Agency for South America since we obviously learned nothing from the last 60 years of foreign policy.

According to the Constitution, states regulate elections, not the federal government. The feds can monitor their asses off and it won't make any difference in the results of the election.

Does the DNC really not understand that their apparent abhorrence to progressives is not obvious, even though Bernie and AOC draw crowds by the thousands? Keep shoving corporate democrats in front of us and face the consecuences. I'm tired of voting for the least worst candidate.

This is news on Fox? Not only is he weak and puny, he's also pathetic. Add that to your faux reporting.

It’s been over 2 weeks since AOC said Stephen Miller was weak and puny. Fox is still talking about it.

Choosing not to feed Americans in need is unacceptable.

The Administration knows it can use emergency funds for SNAP payments—it even deleted the memo posted on its website saying it could.

They are choosing to inflict pain on families.

SCOTUS handed democracy to the oligarchs. Fuck you so very much!

From David Sirota on Twitter: Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered.

LeverNews.com/book

Citizens United v. FEC, 558 U.S. 310 (2010)
This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in this democracy.

This is what oligarchy looks like:

Trump gave corporate America a $920 billion tax break.

Now, corporations like Amazon, Meta, Apple, Google & Lockheed Martin are returning the favor by giving Trump $300 million for a fancy ballroom.

That’s a pretty good return on investment.

I might be concerned about the Pentagon's press office if it had any credibility, but since it doesn't, it just becomes another ridiculous joke provided by the current administration. The truth will eventually come out.
