Interesting how fascist republicans went from pretending to be fully against war to being pro-Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as well as being in full support of potential war with Venezuela. Deranged hypocritical scumbags.

We were dead and now we're the hottest country in the world, the first country—quite frankly the only country—where a box of breakfast cereal costs $11. We're saying Merry Christmas, and also the r-slur, and we're getting back to saying "gay" so it means "stupid" again. Grown-ups are doing it now,

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

I’m not watching the speech tonight.
I don’t want to hear that child rapist lie about the economy-we know the truth.
I don’t want to hear him as he justifies dragging us into war, killing innocent people.
I don’t want to hear him defend ICE.
He stole our healthcare.
I do not want to hear him.

"But if we can just get the votes we can..."

They cheat. They bought Dominion so they own the vote counting machines. They are slanting election law in their favor. They will just cheat. Stop imagining the next election will be fair. It won't. They already cheated and will again. Cheaters cheat.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

Ronald Reagan, a cold man who ignored the AIDS crisis because he was a homophobe and craved the votes of other homophobes, is *not* a reminder of anything good or decent.

[email protected] : Were you satisfied with the answers you’ve gotten so far in this classified briefing on Venezuela?

AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

The wanton destruction of USAID by Musk and his DOGE flunkies was, by definition, a criminal act and it is by far the most consequential thing done in Trump's name. Thousands are dead for no reason other than racist cruelty. Trump, Musk, Rubio, and several others belong in prison for this.

They're only acting as Trump's and Stephen Miller's private police force now. We should not be funding a lawless Gestapo.

Rob Reiner never shied away from fighting for what he believed was right in this world, both professionally (starting with All in the Family) and personally (through decades of activism).

Our movement owes him a debt of gratitude.

Let’s honor his memory by continuing the fight on his behalf.
