Dems Reward the Hostage-Taker
Perhaps ending the shutdown was the responsible thing to do. But by caving, Democrats risk legitimizing Trump’s maximum-pain shutdown tactics.

Turnarounds in a country can surge from a weary, burdened People, who can no longer stand the heavy disparities between their poor life conditions and the brazen, cynical abuse against them from those in power.

A.I. can produce the possibilities of history repeating itself.

Jerold Nadler (D) NY will not seek reeloction next year. From a more "mature" individual I can say it is time for new ideas, energy, and new perspectives.
It's time for new blood in the Democratic party.

The rule of law, fair elections, an unbiased judiciary, equal opportunity, diversity based on merit, and a stable monetary system are among the most important factors that Make America Great! (Not to mention run on sentences.)

I am attending demonstration in Tallahassee on Monday, September 1. It is Labor Day and I will support labor and Indivisible. LABOR is one of the factors that has made America great! Not red hats with juvenile acronyms.

Without federal funding, public media — and the truth-telling, community-connecting role it plays — is at risk.

Local stations may vanish. Millions could lose trusted news and vital information. If you are ready to join the fight for journalism, donate now: n.pr/458sOhq

27 different named women accused him of sex assault, he’s on video with Epstein where they are grossly leering at young women, Miss Teen USA contestants said he came in dressing room when they were naked, he bragged on the Access Hollywood tape about grabbing women. It’s obvious.

A witness to conditions to the Everglades Concentration Camp.
I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.
