Believer in policy compromise but never ethical compromise
Trump has taken 3.4B in funding from Massachusetts and is now threatening to pull the World Cup (fun fact, not his choice). I say MA residents stop sending Federal income tax until funding is restored. Best non violent solution.

Nothing says we are against socialism like the government buying 10% of intel. Next time republicans accuse democrats, let’s remind them.

Imagine the madness of Trump writing to Epstein about assaulting women being the thing that brings him down. It’s almost as if we knew that in 2016.

Thanks Donny. Everyone ready for the war on our wallets?

Tribalism is a Human instinct. It benefitted ancient humans for safety & food supply. It now works against us as Trump capitalizes by triggering tribal instinct and pitting us against each other. We must fight that and realize who our real enemy is, the corrupt billionaire ruling class.

It never ceases to amaze how little most people understand about probability. If you hear that we are 75% likely to win, that is not great if losing means fascism.

Love the $5k bonus for having a kid. Now who will pay the 250K to raise them after?

Hey. I have an idea. If Trump is going to illegally pull clearance from any democrat, why don’t the people that investigated him just start releasing the dirt. Maybe that will be the wall we need to stop this insanity and leverage back at him.

Donald trump is going to cause the death of millions of Americans. What event/policy will be the main cause?

What do we believe republicans will do about Russia? Many old guard are staunchly against Putin. Do they start to break with Trump? I’m not holding my breath but there is a chance.

Can someone smarter than I am please write the “official rules of DOGE Ball”. My very rough attempt:

1) duck any attempt to gain access to your data
2) deflect any early retirement paperwork
3) catch any illegal requests and release them to media/lawyers

As awful as they are, I understand the dark motive behind Trump and Musk. What explains the rest of the republicans, and why they would ever support RFK, Patel, and Tulsi? Maybe some younger ones are opportunistic but why the rest? Would love a sanity check.

Why have we still not heard anything about the open investigations into Trump? What exactly are the DOJ folks doing given they are all getting illegally terminated. Just leak it. It is the most patriotic and ethical thing you can do. The country needs to see it before it’s too late, hopefully.

Dr Phil is a washed up loser of a talk show host. Who tries to get attention off deportations?

My dream is that in my lifetime we solve the institutional windshield wiper we have created as a government. It is exhausting to go from left to right every 2-4 years. People don’t want that, which is why we keep having 50/50 elections. Media loves the extremes but most people want the middle

Jimmy Carter was an American hero. What made him a vulnerable president also made him one of the best humanitarians this country has ever known. He epitomized the holiday season and truly cared and advocated for people most were willing to ignore. Choose good, choose the right path.
