As anonymous as possible, since the internet is generally horrible. American. Public health professional.
My mother was a nurse and didn't see healthcare as a right, but something you should only have if you can afford it. Everyone should understand that the Republican belief in meritocracy overrides everything else, including life itself.
Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Every American should be furious about this. Instead of China paying farmers for soybeans, *you* are paying for them to rot in storage.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.

Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

I'm having a change of heart on the length of his life, because I think I'd like to see him live long enough to see all of these things taken down. I don't want him going out thinking that he won.
The White House as recently as Sunday was calling it the United States Institute of Peace.

It has now removed the “United States” in formal communications and replaced it with “Donald J. Trump.”

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.

All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

Democrats believe the word "impeachment" is politically toxic because Trump has successfully led a large percentage of Americans to believe that its political gamesmanship instead of a replacement for legal action.

I dont know how we get out of that, but Dems need to make a case.
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Whenever I wonder about the insane things that Trump is saying today, I remember that he is a Boomer with a social media account populated by foreign agents. Their brains were never meant to have this technology.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Everyone in politics, everyone in media knows what’s happening here: the White House is controlled by a repellant white supremacist who waits with bated breath for any opportunity to run nonwhite people out of America. They know who it is, what he’s doing. But they won’t SAY it.

Fine particle pollution is the worst kind, because it gets deeper into the lungs and into the smallest spaces. They are significantly worse than the larger particles that get more attention.

Don't expect Republicans to save ACA subsidies. Removing them is the first step in a spiral that quietly kills the ACA altogether, and that has long been their goal. It was also an explicit goal of Project 2025.

Noting the congressional pension is based on service time, it kicks in at 5 years and her retirement date - Jan. 5, 2026 - will be the first business day after she passes five years since her first swearing in. bsky.app/profile/heli...
Any idea why she's quitting then? Her statement isn't very coherent (big surprise), although it would make more sense as an explanation of just not running for re-election.

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism
November 21, 2025 at 9:08 PM
If Mamdani finds a way to keep ICE out of NYC, you should immediately pencil him in for national office. I think its more likely that Trump is back to insulting him by end of next week.
Q: You have differences when it comes to ICE agents in NYC. How do you reconcile them?

TRUMP: We're gonna work them out. The mayor wants to have a safe New York. We're gonna work together.
November 21, 2025 at 9:16 PM
This is exactly it. Mamdani knew what to say to Trump and how to say it so it flattered him and in a way that aligned with his beliefs. Just a master politician.
everyone correctly noting that any time you put Trump in a room with someone charismatic he becomes extremely complimentary until someone reminds him he hates that person, take a bow

he’ll be posting unhinged shit about Zohran again by tomorrow
Trump on Mamdani: "I think he's gonna surprise some conservative people, actually. And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him."
