Social democrat in MN who's been shouting the warning signs of fascism in this country for a decade. Just want my children to grow up in a world that actually ALLOWS them to grow up as whole people, with human rights and stuff. Too much to ask?

100% of this is verifiable fact. Especially what they would do if they actually have a flying fuck about us. What they could be doing now, instead of pulling food away from hungry people. It's what Jesus would do, if they gave a fuck about him either...

Republicans designed it this way on purpose. 1. Pass the Big Beautiful Bill. 2. Lock in the Medicare cuts. 3. Delay the full premium and drug-cost pain until after the Nov midterms (to get your vote and stay in power).

Thank you. I don’t give a hot damn which side of the aisle they are on. If they harm people physically or mentally or sexually? They need to be arrested. Put in jail. Not on the floor voting.

🚨BREAKING: Missouri voters defeated a GOP bid to limit their ability to amend the state constitution. The measure was the GOP's attempt to diminish the power of voters who’ve used citizen initiatives to expand Medicaid and protect abortion access.

Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
