Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

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.

The man is an idiot. Getting the teams wrong, making false claims, demeaning a witness. Trump incited an insurrection and should be in prison, not stealing from the American people, betraying us and our allies, and driving up the cost of living.

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.

50 percent tariffs for our beloved neighbor and historic ally, Canada. A red carpet and a military flyover for Communist China’s leader. Donald Trump is a sick man and a danger to America.

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.

Ashley Hinson voted repeatedly against efforts to end U.S. hostilities with Iran while taking more than $217,000 from oil and gas interests, including $38,500 since the war began. Meanwhile, Iowa gas prices have surged 60% since the start of the war as major oil companies report soaring profits.

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.

The FCC will allow the sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, & Abu Dhabi to own nearly 50% of a merged Paramount-Warner Bros — potentially giving them sway over our media. This of course comes after Trump received gifts or struck business deals with these countries. See the problem?
