Retired community service CEO. I care about all creatures in all countries equally. Fighting to take our country back and be a beacon to those in need. I believe in kindness.

A VP does not set policy. She works within the policy set by the president. I don’t know how any clear-eyed person could watch these clips of Kamala Harris and Netanyahu and not conclude that it was going to be a much different day under President Kamala Harris.

Senile Satan: “Why didn’t you tell me we’re out of ammo?” Kegsbreath: “I did, but you fell asleep.” President Pickpocket: “Okay, I’ll just say Iran begged for another ceasefire.”

Nothing can constrain Trump? Warren: No. Republicans have the majority. They could constrain Trump on war, slimy tax deals, on his corruption. The list is long. But to do that, they would actually have to grow a spine. And so far, what we have around here is a bunch of gelatinous blobs. PabloReports

This America is more than a flag. We must fight for an America for all, a movement to take our democracy back. We invite you all to this movement to get money out of politics and finally guarantee health care through Medicare for all. I am so honored. Let's go win in November.

The general consensus is that Democrats lose because they have bad candidates and bad messaging. I would like to challenge that notion. Do we honestly believe that Trump and republicans win because they have better candidates and better messaging? GTFOH. I wasn’t born yesterday.

The lack of pushback on this toddler with a gun in the White House is insane. Cornyn is a classic example of a dithering, spineless, do nothing politician who has been in office and next to corruption too long. Shameful.

NEW: The Trump admin just published a new regulation allowing asylum officers at USCIS to deny hundreds of thousands of “affirmative asylum” applications without an interview, sending applicants directly to deportation proceedings. This means many people will never get a chance to argue their case.

Mitch McConnell is probably relearning to walk and talk as he recovers from a massive stroke. Just a guess. They're hoping for quick progress on a thing that takes years.

How many of the Republicans who support election interference are afraid of being prosecuted for crimes they've committed when we take back the majority and Trump loses?
