Trump calling the free press a "cancer" at 80 years old just shows he hasn't learned a thing about American democracy. Support independent journalism 🎙️

PabloReports: Donald Trump has said we are in a golden age. AOC: A golden age of what? Of what? He’s putting golden toilets all over Washington, D.C.

Trump says the gas prices will "drop like a rock," but has no plan to actually deal with Iran or open the Strait of Hormuz. Ah yes, the "trust me bro" school of global economics ⛽

Vance: "If you're ever feeling down about our country, ladies and gentlemen, just take a look at the beautiful ladies right behind me. Ladies, I'd like to know what you had to drink."

They are literally saying the quiet part out loud now. Trump leading the RNC in a pledge to "cheat like hell" in November is a direct threat to our democratic process. We must vote like our rights depend on it 🗳️

It’s a shame that the women’s liberation movement was, for 50 years, personified by Gloria Steinem — someone who never really shared that movement’s emancipatory goals.

Gloria Steinem Was the Godmother of Neoliberal Feminism

Gloria Steinem died this week at age 92. The establishment’s favorite “radical” feminist, Steinem worked with the CIA to promote reactionary propaganda and helped direct the women’s liberation movement into a corporate-friendly, anti-socialist direction.

Senator Chris Coons is 100% right: you can't just grow generals and admirals on trees. Trump’s erratic moves are decimating our military readiness while picking a massive war with Iran. Absolutely terrifying. 🧵
