Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

With SCOTUS nullifying the 14th Amendment this morning, we can't keep fooling ourselves about the illegitimacy of this entire federal apparatus. Shut it down.

"financial reasons" to cancel a top-rated show... or something wholly predictable
I get it, but the final say on throwing away CBS News' whole brand history is currently in her hands, not his. Ellison is offering $19 a share, PARA is currently trading at $11. (Also guessing Colbert will get tossed within days of that transaction closing, or most likely prior to it)

Honestly it’s good to know that when a guy who spent decades hanging out with a famous pedophile and is accused of being a pedophile himself spends years hyping up the existence of pedophile files and doesn’t release them, people will only elect him president twice before they get suspicious.

What does history tell us about what a proto-tyrant will do when he has his back truly against the wall? Nothing bad, right?

It's as if all of the Trumpite "weaponization of government!!" fake talking points during the Biden administration were just to set the stage to undertake this kind of taxpayer-funded revanchist garbage
What a surprise that the Trump admin suddenly comes out with this right when MAGA is fuming about the Epstein fiasco. Quick - look over here!

With treasuries markets starting to price in the "big beautiful bill", don't fall for the inevitable 2008-recycled "nobody could see this crisis coming" line. A Liz Truss-like bond and currency crisis is entirely foreseeable right now.

Trump needs to be removed from office. This is destabilizing the entire world.
He is either a) causing panic in a city of 10 million for no reason, b) preparing to launch a nuclear attack or c) divulging an ally's intent to launch a nuclear attack.
None of this acceptable.

Trump just posted “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”

At some point we're going to have to stop asking "when is (insert name) going to step up and say he's gone to far" and realize that maybe they are ok with the president's actions. We must realize that no one is going to swoop in and "save" us, it has to be us... we the people.

#ETTD, eh?
It's really hard to overstate how hugely favored conservatives were up until two months ago.
Here's the graph of Canadian polling between March 2023 and March 2025. (Reminder: blue is conservative.)
Those are months and months of 20+ point leads for Tories.
