The Democratic Party has listened to too many consultants and pulled back from pushing for reforms and rights for decades. Meanwhile the GOP in all its rabid subsets have been pushing hard to preserve the power of White Men. We can only win if everyone can see what we stand for and fight.

We're reaping the fruit of the NRA to spread deadly wepons to as many potential murderers as possible. They still claim that more guns make us safer, so how is it that the Good 'Ol USA has more guns percapita then any army on Earth and the highest murder rate anywhere? We are at war with ourselves.

NYThas been the gold standard for straight news for over a century. Now, thanks to its Oligarch owner, it is little more than a house organ of the overthrow of our government. By downplaying, sane-washing and ignoring the actions of Mangolini & Co. the Parper is greasing the skids.

TYpical from a Trumpy-- charge a Democratic candidate with your own shortcomings. Vance has gained a lot more than he deserved from being here.

Career staff at the CFTC were investigating suspiciously timed trades surrounding Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would not bomb Iranian power plants. Then a senior adviser to Trump’s CFTC commissioner told them to back off. Could this administration get any more corrupt?

So FOX wants to blame the campaign for not clarifying the story for a week? How about the months of No Stories about the decrepit MAGA senators? Where were the complaints then? They were quick enough at spreading the lies thathe wasin a psych ward.

He wants to make all poor people and minorities of all sorts just disappear. If that needs them all to die, they are no loss. Trump wants to live in universal adulation surrounded by slaves and sycophants.

He can neveer accept the fact that his decisions are not divine truths, no matter what evidence is shown. His contractor who didn't know what he was doing and collected 8 times his original bid (minus a kickback) for proving it couldn't have been the cause. Pointed it out is the crime.

The present government junta thinks that the Endangered Species Act is intended to protect oil company oligarchs, not wildlife or the environment. That theory requires the gutting of all protections for the environments that support rare wildlife.

Trump soothes ego by falsifying Iran war casualty data
The Trump administration is manipulating sensitive information about the number of service members killed in the war against Iran, as part of efforts to manipulate reality to justify Trump’s rhetoric.

The Trump Organization plans on erasing all historic and cultural knowledge from our minds so that his "truth" is the only basis anyone votes on. Removing books from libraries and historic signage from all monuments and parks is how to do it, and both are being done right now.

The vote to block money for Israeli murders failed because the leadership failed to vote ethically. They don't mind killing in order to avoid fighting for right. The Progressive Wing has the hill to fight on. All those who voted to continue with the genocide must be driven from government.

Mangolini campaigned on stopping wars and promised not to get involved in any. He lied as he has on every other subject. He brags that Iran has no navy, no airforce and no defenses, yet they still launch barrages against out facilities and ships, while we have wasted our own war materiel.
