Conservatives "borrow and spend" to fund their "unlimited government." They celebrate hatred of their neighbors - Canada, Mexico, immigrants, women. They openly violate over half of the ten commandments they claim we should all be forced to live by. So if conservatives have values, what are they?

Here’s what’s happening: they are using religious faith in a very similar way to how Putin uses the Russian Orthodox Church. In their hands it is an instrument of political power, wielded to help keep people in line.

The damage done by people like this, past and present, can’t be overstated. There is a reason why there is so much animosity between black communities and police. And the legacy of the racist southern cop is at the heart of it. Most cops are good people. But every one like this sets them all back.

At best, "Medicare for All" is more than 5 years away. But did you know that 2 votes could save over $300B a year and create universal healthcare NOW? 1. Repeal both ICE funding and safety net cuts in the OBBBA 2. Expand direct payments to providers. drive.google.com/file/d/1rPiT...

Dolly Parton was the best of us.  She was an American treasure — a rare embodiment of talent, kindness, and generosity in equal measure.  We’ll always love you, Dolly.

The country music star broke into song before she was inoculated, and urged her fans to “get out there and get your shot.”

I’ll always remember Dolly Parton for the fact that she donated $1 million in 2020 to the research that led to Moderna’s COVID vaccine, as well as millions more for childhood vaccine and cancer research. She was an immensely talented, kind, and giving person.

Voter roll purges are necessary to remove people who have passed away, moved or otherwise become ineligible to vote. But sometimes purges can erroneously include thousands of eligible voters. As the Trump administration ramps up its attacks on voting, it’s time to check your registration status:

US home prices just hit an all-time high with 30-year mortgages at 6.55%. 10 years ago, the average new home cost $350,000 and rates were 3.5%. Today, it costs $540,600 and rates are 6.55%. Meanwhile, 49% of Americans under 30 now live with a parent, up from 37% in 2019. Crazy numbers.

Americans are united in the bipartisan rejection of expert opinions. Right, left, and center intentionally ignore scientific and economic principles that contradict their chosen ideology. The legal profession owes much to Cicero, but Roman leadership executed him to avoid listening to him.

US national debt just hit an all-time high of $39.5 trillion. $11 trillion of America’s debt was added while President Trump was in office. That’s 28% of the entire national debt, more dollars added than under any other U.S. president in history.

MORE THAN 98% of the Republicans in Congress voted last year to: 1) Cut one TRILLION dollars from Medicaid: 2) Give roughly that amount in tax cuts to the richest 1% of Americans. 3) Give ICE a bigger budget than the U.S. Marine Corps. When you vote GOP, you vote to let Trump act like a King.
