This isn’t left vs. right. This is big vs. little. Only 2% of our elected officials from both the House and Senate come from the working class. That’s the problem.

Mr. Secretary, the president is on the phone. He sounds very angry and he keeps calling you Lil Marco.

Not sure who needs to hear this but your “physical” isn’t “annual” if you need it twice in six months.

BlinkRX, an online prescription drug delivery company, stands to benefit from proposed changes by Trump that would allow pharmaceutical companies to sell drugs directly to patients.

His son, Eric Trump, is on the company’s board.

Always follow the money.

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

These freaks keep getting on TV talking about opposing antifa and how they believe antifa wants to destroy them, and not a single person in mainstream media has asked or commented on what is the opposite of antifascism and who is threatened by antifascists

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been awarded to Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado.

The Nobel Committee recognised her “struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

In other words, exactly the opposite of what Trump is doing to the United States.
