How will Democratic Party leaders start reconnecting with alienated voters whose budgets won’t allow for constant political donations? How can you help us connect & network with like minded? May I suggest: A Democratic Party online Forum. Why not? citizenschallenge.blogspot.com/2025/02/demo...

I have read “The 1619 Project” more than once. I have just begun watching the documentary on HULU for it. For all of the Kristi Noems and Don Trumps out there, who belong to the “1776 Project” in all their pride and glory…piss off. Acknowledgment is the tiniest of steps in the right direction. JFC.

Who knew? When fossil fuel companies are told where they’re emitting methane they don’t do anything about it. Can’t be trusted.

Confirming qualified lower court judges is crucial to ensure a well-functioning, independent judiciary. But, sadly, no number of normal judges helps against the pipeline of faux litigation* brought to MAGA judges and circuits via judge-shopping, thence to captured Supreme Court.

What do you bet Trump’s transition is being funded by a bunch of looters and polluters, out to loot our country and pollute our country?

This is incredibly disturbing and goes against every rule of war, international law, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the very ethic of the military. A disciplined military goes to every length to prevent civilian deaths and having a SecDef who doesn't care is unacceptable.

Tulsi Gabbard is running sock puppet PACs and a nonprofit that won’t reveal its donors to pay herself! Color me shocked. Who would have thought?! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Tulsi Gabbard keeps starting up PACs. Where is the money going?
When her appointment as director of national intelligence is vetted, the Senate should scrutinize her political operation.
