It's insane that we would allow someone who orchestrated a coup to stay in office last time to run for president again knowing full well the only way he leaves peacefully next time is in a coffin

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

This isn’t just a US issue, and that’s what really bothers me. You don’t have to censor research if you can shape the funding and networks around it. The fossil-fuel industry understood that a long time ago, while we’ve been slow to recognise what it really means. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

You might be surprised to hear me say this, but I think Zohran Mamdani is the future of the Democratic Party. Just not for the reasons you probably think. He has a sharp strategic mind and the credibility to say uncomfortable truths to his own people and be heard rather than exiled.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

If it was fake news, like FOX’s election machine fraud claims and loss, he would sue the network. He doesn’t because it is NOT fake news. And when he does he realizes discovery opens up a view to his crimes, like with the BBC. It is why he doesn’t sue for claiming he raped children. Because he did!

Trump is a US president who doesn't understand what a trade deficit is. This should be impossible. What's even worse is that he is incapable of learning even simple things. He's trapped in his own little hell of malignant willful ignorance.

They hate the Bill of Rights because freedom is a threat to people in government who want to hide the truth about what they are doing from the American people. So they behave like tyrants because that is what they are. Vote this party out of power.

He removes EPA regulation protecting the environment and people, then he removes liability for killing wildlife and endangered species. Every act this administration takes is more loathsome, self serving and corrupt than the last. And all of this from a convicted rapist and felon.

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?
