People trying to figure out why Democratic Socialism in on the rise like they're trying to figure out the mystery of dark matter. It's really pretty simple........More and more of us want government to work on behalf of ALL the people, not just a select, elite few. It ain't rocket science.

Fun Fact: If every data center being proposed was allowed to be built, the entire groundwater system in the US would be entirely depleted within 5 to 7 years. Unless they can find a way to irrigate crops and provide drinking water with data, these MUST be stopped.

People getting all upset about Trump's IRS deal that will save him $100M in taxes. This isn't even equal to what he steals from the government in an average month. Place your outrage where it REALLY belongs.

Seems weird that in a country of 340M+ people, we can't find 600 or so honest, non-corrupt, intelligent, and civic-minded people to run things.

Yup, things went just as Trump planned. Some fake "progress" with Iran turned out to be enough to goose the markets a bit. The dude has taken "pump and dump" to heights never before seen.

The ball is firmly in Max Miller's court now. I give him a week or less before he outs his former father-in-law, Bernie Moreno, for being gay. Hell, he'll probably claim Moreno groped him. These Republican vs. Republican things are just soooooooo delicious. Even better when they're family.

Anyone shocked that Iran has said they haven't agreed to any "parameters" that Trump says they've agreed to? It's Sunday by the way........the day he usually spouts his most positive sounding bullshit, just in time for the markets to open on Monday.

Good News: Sales of super-yachts are currently at their highest levels in the last 25 years. This obviously means the economy is booming, right?

I swear I wouldn't be surprised if Trump starts declaring a national holiday whenever he "wins" one of those fictional "Club Championships" at a golf course he owns. Yup, an 80 year old fat dude with myriad medical issues unfailingly takes down all comers. I really wanna see him play Kim Jong Un.

Can someone tell me why solar-powered desalinization plants haven't become a "thing"? With half the country in a state of drought, it seems the time to start looking at this idea is now. A few years ago woulda been even better.

Congratulations to Donald Trump for ending the Iran War for the 39th time. Just in time (again) for the markets to open on Monday.

GOP calls it " evil socialism" when we give healthcare services to those in need So then explain how it's better that we hand over 10% of our GDP to healthcare insurers, who actually provide ZERO in the way of healthcare services, instead taking that money to act solely as a gatekeeping middleman

The average percentage of GDP that goes to healthcare among nations who have universal healthcare is about 10% to 11% The US spends 19% of its GDP on private healthcare (and rising) In return, we get worse outcomes, shorter lifespans, and rampant medical bankruptcies The insanity is mindboggling

Why is it that we can't do certain major things by national referendum? Healthcare Environmental Issues Abortion Rights Civil and Voting Rights And sooooo many more things. Why do we leave these things to politicians who are bought and paid for by special interests? We could do this

Pirro needs to be disbarred, or at least heavily sanctioned for knowingly presenting false information to the grand jury on the reflecting pool indictments. Enough is enough with this bitch.

I can't believe THIS wasn't enough to prosecute the reflecting pool vandals!

But, but, but........Pirro said they had "overwhelming" evidence..

FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"

30 municipal water systems have come under cyberattack. Analysts have traced the attacks back to Iran. Trump, of course, blames this on Democrats. Nah, it absolutely had nothing to do with Trump completely gutting our cybersecurity apparatus over the past 18 months.

I can't see Kevin Hassett's face without wanting to kick that shit-eatin' grin right off of it while he spouts lie after lie.

Kevin Hassett today claimed that the reason our Q2 GDP growth came in at less than half of what was expected was because we are "building factories so fast" and "we've imported more capital goods" Fun Fact: In the past 12 months, more US factories have closed than have opened.

Fun Fact: A data center the size of 4 football fields can run with a total staff of a dozen workers or less. Most of the jobs they create is from the construction process, and those are just temporary These monstrosities suck resources while giving almost nothing back to communities A net loss

McConnell's wife,Elaine Chao, can change the length and color of her hair at will over just a couple days' time, as demonstrated in these "proof of life" photos, along with photos of her taken in public days apart. Uh huh........right. Yeah, that dude is most definitely dead...

Wanna see the VA hospitals and clinics magically get fully staffed and equipped? Simple, just make Congressmen, Senators, and other government officials get their healthcare there. Hey, if they're supposed to be good enough for our veterans...

There are times when I think that Trump actually believes his own made-up approval ratings. Nothing else explains some of the crazy shit he's doing to undermine the entire Republican party. His killing Medicare Part D being the latest self-inflicted wound. He'll learn the truth in November

We live in a society where the top 1% are committed to nothing other than extracting the greatest amount of wealth possible out of the other 99%. And a big part of that wealth goes to the politcians that enable them to do this. Until money is out of politics, nothing changes.

America is the ONLY industrialized country that allows advertising of prescription drugs. And if you think that the advertising costs aren't added to the cost consumers pay for these drugs, you're sadly mistaken.

Fun Fact: There is not a single verified case of someone being "cured" of cancer by Ivermectin. But I'd be fine with Republicans using this as their first line of treatment after being diagnosed. Because, ya know........"freedom".

I've never been to medical school, but I want to be a neurosurgeon. Therefore, I'm taking the Rand Paul approach and creating my own accreditation in a group where I am the only practicing member, and the board is comprised wholly of my family members. Seems perfectly reasonable, right?

Even if it's proven that McConnell is either dead or vegged out, there will be somewhere around 50% of Americans who won't give a shit that this was covered up for 6+ weeks. Thus is the current state of our country. Lies just don't matter anymore, and those lying will never face accountability.
