Yes, Pete Hegseth is so incompetent that our troops go without necessary medical care, but at least they are called "warriors" now while they go untreated. So it all evens out . . .

The corrupt gangsters running this government violate the law daily and use government funds for partisan politics to bribe voters in violation of the law. Trump has been emboldened by a rogue Supreme Court which has given him immunity and taken a blowtorch to the Constitution.

We are staring down the barrel of a defining chapter in American history. Authoritarian leaders often enter government through legitimate doors and then begin dismantling the locks. The locks are coming off. The question now is whether enough of us are awake to stop it. -Michael Jochum

Gov. Shapiro: We’re going to go as far as we can to show that we believe in science, to protect access to vaccines. If RFK tries to take something away from our public health system here in Pennsylvania, as he has… I sued and won. We’re going to stand up for science and stand up against RFK Jr.

For the first time, we’re partnering with labor unions to speed up and modernize hiring for city jobs. It should be easy, fast, and fair to find a good-paying job serving the city we call home — and after 100 years, we’re due for an update.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

As Trump demonizes cities, remember this: Residents of "blue" states send more tax money to Washington than they get back in federal help, while residents of “red” states send less money to Washington than they get back in federal help. Just thought I should point that out.
