El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.

Republicans just voted to slash Medicare benefits that seniors rely on every single day. They call it “reform.” Patients will call it higher costs, fewer doctors, and longer waits. This isn’t abstract. It’s your parents’ meds. Your grandparents’ care. #RepublicanMedicareCuts

The saddest part of Trump's historically corrupt 2nd term is witnessing the impotence of our entire political system to do literally ANYTHING about it.

Vote for anti-AIPAC candidates The consequences are far greater if you support genocide endorsing candidates.

"Regardless of the outcomes of this year’s primaries and elections, a further erosion in U.S. public attitudes toward Israel seems all but inevitable. What it will mean for U.S. foreign policy, however, is far from certain." This one may very well piss everyone off. Gift link, to make that easier.

When Biden sent stuff to Ukraine, he sent our older stuff and had US manufacturers make new ones for us to keep our stocks up, help Ukraine, and also boost our economy. Trump has alienated everybody on the planet, used up all of our stockpiles, and effed up the economy with his asinine tariffs.

Biden was replenishing our stockpiles with US manufacturers using US union steel. Trump has sent tens of thousands of those jobs overseas and has crippled our supply chain with tariffs and none of our allies want to help us. Maybe we can buy our arms back from Saudi Arabia.

In case you’re wondering who’s really “begging for a deal”

By invoking Judaism to justify genocide, "Israel is generating the exact hostility it claims to fight". In Australia, if the royal commission is serious about antisemitism, the toxic role of the Netanyahu regime and Israel lobbyists must be spotlighted. pearlsandirritations.com/post/2026/08...

Israel is losing America – and endangering Jews

Israel’s war in Gaza has eroded support across the US political spectrum, while Netanyahu’s claim to act for all Jews risks fuelling the very anti-Jewish hostility Israel says it opposes.

Lest you think that Trump is somehow an aberration of the Conservative movement, remember how their geriatric institutionalists, like Grassley, have consistently bent the knee, kissed the ring, and willingly lied over and over to serve their orange dictator. Trump is the Conservative movement.
