Democratic senators need to stop pretending that GOP senators are their “good friends across the aisle” and realize many of them are just lying sociopaths who are actively fanning the flames of violence against them.
It’s not just Mike Lee — Bernie Moreno is pretending that a registered Republican evangelical anti-abortion Trump voter who assassinated a Democrat and had more on his hit list is a representative of “the extreme left”

I will hold the line on this. Right-wing violence has far more support, materially, institutionally and ideologically, in the U.S. than left-wing violence. There is no both-sidesing it.
And yes, this kind of violence has support on the right, in the form of pardons, statements of support from R politicians, and legitimate organizational forms (e.g. militias) that it simply does not have on the left

The appalling Oval Office propaganda stunt inflicted on South African President Cyril Ramaphosa by Donald Trump on May 21, 2025 was whitewashed of its racism by the American press.

Awful: Trump just blamed foreign students for taking the slots of American kids. But the cuts in the House GOP bill he's pushing could cost hundreds of thousands of working class kids their route to college.

Whether you think Biden trying to run/Dems waited too long was bad is ultimately irrelevant. There was a Democratic Convention in August 2024, & the party chose Kamala Harris as its nominee. The GOP chose the fascist with dementia. And he's doing the fascism & showing signs of dementia again now.
