Fairly liberal, nearly middle age, and currently living in arguably the worst state. I'm sure that I will make astute observations in this app that shock and awe.
People "fleeing New York because of Mamdani's election" are gonna crash out when they realize the job market is fucked and there are no socialist benefits like rent vouchers, medicaid, or food stamps to keep them going after they voluntarily upended their lives.

Call back the press from their foreign affairs and war-torn field reporting so they can attend to the mayhem in their backyard. 😐😐 (yes I'm feeling dramatic.)

They didn't ask me, but as a democrat i CAN CONFIRM that I find the current Senate and House Dems to be weak and ineffectual. I feel like they aren't even TRYING to save us from this TRAIN WRECK, as if they are waiting for midterm elections and not realizing that they aren't coming.

The Iranian regime is a fascist nightmare. But let’s be clear what’s happening:
War w/o Congress approval
State of war leading to further domestic repression — including domestic military — & expanded police state
This war isn’t about making Americans safer. It’s about expanding Trump’s control.

American Democracy Might Not Survive a War With Iran
The United States is well down the road to dictatorship. Imagine what Trump would do with a state of war.

Cutting Pell Grants would put college, community college, and technical schools out of reach for the people who need these opportunities most. We need to expand access to education, not make it harder to gain the skills needed for good jobs.

Hegseth deployed troops to Southern California without funding for food, water, fuel, or equipment. Marines are trained for military combat – not law enforcement.
Trump must rescind his orders, Hegseth must resign, & law enforcement should be handled by state/local authorities.

Q: The president said that if he were Tom Homan he would arrest Gavin Newsom. Do you believe Newsom should face consequences in a legal way?
MIKE JOHNSON: Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered.

Sarah Fuckabee Sanders is still begging her fuhrer to send federal aid to Arkansas after recent tornados.
When a favored child (who has never had an ill public word for her leader) can't get the support her constituents need, that doesn't bode well for the rest of America.

🤔 you should have to pass the U.S. Citizenship test before you can become President of the U.S.
Have President Trump and Secretary Rubio even looked at the U.S. Citizenship test? Because one of the questions we ask those who want to become citizens is about the rights protected by the First Amendment.
I don't think either of them could pass that test if they tried.
