"Just weeks out from midterms that are shaping up to be a bloodbath for Republicans, Trump and his minions are resorting to blaming Biden every opportunity for the fact Americans are deeply dissatisfied with the economy. But the fact of the matter is that Trump has no one to blame but himself."

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

"Look at the last 3 GOP presidents. One oversaw a double-dip recession with a savings & loans scandal that looted the Treasury. That was Bush I. Another oversaw near meltdown of the whole capitalist system. That was Bush II. Then the next presided over a pandemic-driven collapse. That was Trump I."

Dolly Parton helped fund Moderna’s vaccine. It began with a car crash and an unlikely friendship.
“Without a doubt in my mind, her funding made the research toward the vaccine go 10 times faster than it would be without it,” physician Naji Abumrad said of his friend.
