It turns out that Dollar General and Family Dollar routinely overcharge people—their advertised price tags are fictions. These are the only stores in many small towns.

Scam culture. It's all scam culture. On this matter, Democrats should run on audits and serious fines for overcharging.
How the dollar-store industry overcharges cash-strapped customers while promising low prices
A Guardian investigation reveals Dollar General and Family Dollar stores often fail to honor their shelf prices – charging more at checkout for everything from frying pans to Frosted Flakes

Why are there exactly zero Democrats mercilessly attacking the royal partisan hack Chief Justice John Roberts? The only acceptable reaction to his lawlessness is to be so aggressive that you make him legitimately uncomfortable to do his job. You should call him out by name every chance you get.

Booker is a real charlatan imo. The exact kind of politician we need to stop electing because he’s good at keeping up appearances, but he’ll never challenge the status quo. The latter is a threat to his personal success.
No, Progressives Don’t Want “Purity.” They Just Want Some Courage.
When left-leaning Democrats complain about corporate influence, it’s not a “purity test.” It’s a demand for a better politics.

The Supreme Court yesterday issued a ruling allowing Texas to proceed with their new voting map, which shifts five Democratic districts toward the GOP in next year's mid-term elections. Last month, a lower court found the map to be racially gerrymandered.
Supreme Court orders Texas to use 2025 map amid legal battle
The ruling is a major win for the Trump administration and Texas Republicans, who engineered the map to give the GOP control of 30 of the state’s 38 congressional districts.

There will be a day in the not too distant future when Pete Hegseth and his wife will huddle around the kitchen table or possibly in the vicinity of a Christmas tree to discuss the reality that he will likely need to be pardoned by Trump if he wants to avoid going to prison for murder.

Someone should demand a cognitive test for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social.

No one in their right mind would actively sabotage their own interests in such a way. His behavior is well beyond mystifying at this point. A disastrous personal decision and a product of calcified cronyism in the Dem. Party.

He shouldn’t just be pushed out as the House Democrats’ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.

If you want to know why Hegseth is panicking about reminders that there is accountably for giving or carrying out illegal orders, it’s likely because he knows he has given illegal orders to murder people.

Since when is drug trafficking an immediate death sentence? Are we saying that we should unalive any human being suspected of transporting drugs, no questions asked? Are there no exceptions, considerations or extenuating circumstances? 3rd world poverty exacerbated by US hegemony perhaps?

“Kill everybody”, Is that official military parlance or is Pete Hegseth just the unhinged, bloodthirsty war criminal we expected him to be? Every Democrat in congress should be preparing to investigate this man and put him in prison for life.
