Don't think independents will have a chance unless trumps mess is cleaned up. It is better to elect progressive democrats who run grassroots campaigns.

That's not true, look at what's going on now. Trump and his puppets are doing everything they can to gut everything people rely on. You cannot say the same thing about almost any Democrat.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Americans are fed up with the political establishment and an economy rigged against the working class.

Zohran Mamdani understands this well. Democratic leadership should be supporting him.

Fun facts: Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, has won an Emmy, two Grammys, and his production company won an Oscar.

Trump has won 34 felony convictions as well as civil adjudications for rape and financial fraud. He is currently protecting rich and powerful pedophiles in the GOP.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.
