The Democratic party is the only party that is electable and knows how to govern.

We must vote Democrat from the top to the bottom of the ballot.

This is the first step in saving our country from fascism. Everything else is secondary.

I have a prediction. Now that he didn't win the Peace prize, Trump will justify a violent policy as retribution for not getting the peace prize.

Also, this will be the end to Trump caring about a Gaza cease fire

I'm not defending her, but I don't think that's what she's saying. I think she's saying if it's perfectly safe then why did they cordon off an area to protect her ingress and egress.

We all know the answer, because even a peaceful protester approaching her would have been a PR nightmare.

I had my annual physical today, and I got my flu shot, but my doctor told me she needed to send a prescription to the pharmacy for my covid booster, and I'll have to get the shot there.

There's no logical reason for restricting covid vaccine access. I'm not talking about a mandate. I want it.

Can you imagine the deli spread at a Chicago Jewish Mafia sit-down?

The juxtaposition of the agents in full tactical gear, looking like they're planning a raid on Fallujah, stepping out of minivans feels surreal.

Oh no, if AI goes out of business where will we get our slop? The shit that nobody fucking wants. The companies that are in a bubble so big that when it bursts they'll all go broke and bring us all down with them.

For decades I had to listen to right-wingers and mainline Republicans go on about the federal government infringing on states rights. They screamed about Jack budded thugs taking over the country, when Obama was president.

And now they don't seem to care.

Everything a republican says is a lie.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

If you want to get rid of him, start a rumor that he can't do 100 push-ups in 1 minute. And that only the fittest human beings can do that. I have no idea...

He's so insecure that he will make himself try it over and over and over and over and over again.

Eventually... Well you know.

People in this thread are missing the point. Senator Whitehouse didn't let her off the hook. He got her on record refusing to answer the question. He didn't take her bait on her accusation about him, he continued on with his question.

It's always the Democrats fault for some.

ImNotJoeKing @notjoeking.bsky.social · 3d

Trump only cares about himself, and will follow the advice of whoever has his ear. Thus, we got president musk for a few months and that Doge nightmare.

Now we have President Stephen Miller, and his fascist agenda.
