Sen. Mark Kelly: "The president has spent a good portion of his adult life sitting on gold toilets and doesn't know what hardship is, and doesn't understand our service members. In fact, it's insulting what he said -- that the deployment wasn't long enough. He doesn't know sacrifice."

Can you guess how much the minimum wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?
ICE can’t be reformed. What voters are we courting by being weak on this issue? Do we have some massive Dem donor that owns concentration camps or something?

Rep senate candidate Tafoya thinks that kidnapping a 5-year-old child in Minneapolis, separating him from his family and sending him off to a concentration camp in Texas is a commendable activity. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 16h agoMichele Tafoya claims that Liam Ramos, who was detained in Minnesota by masked ICE as he returned home from pre-K and then flown to San Antonio, was “treated very humanely, very kindly by a couple of ICE enforcement agents when they couldn’t find his father, and they took him to get some food”
Oh nothing. Just @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social the leader of our party in the house spreading right wing talking points. We need new leadership yesterday.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayWELKER: Do democratic socialists belong in the Dem Party? JEFFRIES: What I can say is I do not support defunding the police, I do not support open borders, I do not support abolishing the Senate. We're focused on actually solving the problems hard-working American taxpayer want us to solve ...
What a complete fucking disaster. We’re going to be paying for this presidency for a long time
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 18h agoTrump allies himself w/Kim Jong Un against South Korea: “Based on my very good relationship w/Kim Jong Un, I am not happy that the US has agreed to Joint Military Exercises…I recently asked the President of SK if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of Iran, & they said, ‘No thanks!’”
The DNC was very clear about what it wants you to do, Hakeem. Shape up or ship out.

Jesus, man, I’m a conservative former Republican and I’m more radicalized than this dude. ICE are a bunch of thugs who need to be put in prison.

The entire body of the DNC literally voted yesterday to include abolishing ICE in their platform. How can you have a majority leader who is against the platform?

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.
This war isn’t making our country safer. Donald Trump & Secretary Hegseth's complete disregard for American servicemembers is disgraceful. Our military men and women & their families deserve better. The best way to protect them is to end this war.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 3d ago🚨EXCLUSIVE: Military families and service members are now describing horrific conditions across MULTIPLE ships: human waste flooding bathrooms, virtually no food, water or soap, months without port calls, exhausted crews, and no end in sight. This crisis is far bigger than just the Lincoln.

U.S. Naval Forces Central Command is now denying our reporting about shortages of feminine hygiene products aboard the USS Boxer. We’ve seen these same blanket denials for months about the dire conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Our reporting was right then. It is right now. 1/
Now, months later, we’re hearing from family after family describing dire conditions, food shortages, rationing, and sailors going hungry aboard the Lincoln. They didn’t answer the questions. They sent us tweets denying the problem existed. And now the problem is way worse.
Healthcare? Well, we don’t have a plan, but we obviously oppose giving healthcare to people.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoFOX NEWS: If you're a young person and you're disenchanted, you can't afford a home, you're having trouble with healthcare & you feel failed by the economy, what is the Republican alternative? MIKE JOHNSON: Well, the answer is not to turn everything over to the government, because that never works
Trump said deportations would lead to more jobs for American citizens. But according to new research, his cruel immigration raids actually COST jobs, including those held by American citizens. This was never about “protecting American workers.” It was always about racism and cruelty.
We've got quite the story for you 🧵
Jesse Coburn@jessecoburn.bsky.social · 2d agoYou and I — all of us taxpayers — funded this $533 million artillery plant outside of Dallas. It hasn’t produced a single usable shell.
