Lefty all my life. I was against the criminal Vietnam "police action" and the costly and downright stupid "war on drugs." Now against the Palestinian genocide, Trump's ongoing attack on our freedom, etc.
We need a Dem with balls...someone who isn't afraid to tell them to go fuck themselves. Mark Kelly, Elizabeth Warren, Gavin Newsom are a few. Bernie Sanders is a great front man...he doesn't back down. Also, AOC. There are a few more.

Schumer? Out. Jeffries? Out.

Dems will respond by clutching their pearls even tighter. And if THAT doesn't scare those Repubs, they'll follow-up with one, two -- maybe even THREE -- strongly worded letters.

With some notable exceptions, lawmakers are afraid Trump might get mad at them, so they do nothing.

Maybe not. I'd say those who try to write religion into law are "the worst." They want a theocracy, a gov't run according to so-called "Christian values." (Look at OK and TX.) They swoon at the thought of The Handmaid's Tale and Big Brother. They are awful people who thrive on being awful.

Sad. Per National University, 6-24-25: About 130 million U.S. adults (54% of those aged 16–74) read below a sixth-grade level, according to modeled estimates. Approximately 45 million U.S. adults are functionally illiterate, reading below a fifth-grade level.
