Trump is running our economy into the ditch, as he ran so many lives into their graves during Covid through his incompetence and criminal negligence, aided and abetted by all the Republican Congressmen and Senators who said and did nothing. Wake up fellow Americans, and vote them all out!

NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

Where are all the former heads of USAID, from both parties, sounding the alarm and pointing out the massive death toll resulting from the funding cuts? That might get the public’s attention. Come on folks, step up!

An unhinged ignoramus of a president is causing havoc on our economy with his misadventures in the Middle East (not to mention the tragedy of lives lost). Every Republican in Congress who lets this go on unchecked should be held accountable.

These voters are beyond hope. Democrats need not bother trying to win their votes. The only approach is to reach out to the disengaged, earn their support, motivate them to vote.

Sadly, this won’t get much press, but Americans should know the literal suffering and death this administration is causing across the world. Immoral.

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...
So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry.
In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now
investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.
Sally Kornbluth is the president of MIT.

Courtney Wild was 14 when Epstein started abusing her. While she waited for justice, the feds were negotiating a deal with Epstein's lawyers behind closed doors. She found out years later through a legal fight. The emails showed the government wasn't protecting victims. It was protecting Epstein.

Any Democrat who is not explicitly committed to restructuring the Supreme Court does not deserve your vote, will not get mine, and should be actively primaried and opposed. There must be 13 justices on the court by the end of 2029. It is the only way our democracy has a chance of surviving.

Dear Trump Voters, He lied to you. Gas is higher than Biden. Groceries higher than Biden. Healthcare higher than Biden. People losing rights and treated with no respect. WH ruined. Another war. America has alienated itself. You were told, but you wouldn’t listen. This screws all of us. Thanks!

As we bury our dead, watch the Middle East (and likely elsewhere) erupt in flames, see our pockets emptied by rising gas prices and tariffs, I think of all the Trump flags I saw flying and am reminded how misguided so many among us were, to inflict this on our country…shame on them.

The one thing that truly pisses me off about people who insists that they were justified in not voting for Kamala, is that they acted from the same selfish space as the people who voted for TACO, while the rest of us voted solely on what was best for EVERYONE!

As the depths of depravity catalogued in the Epstein files gradually comes into view, I wonder where was Merrick Garland and previous Atty Generals, who had this before them and chose to do nothing. Shame on them all.

If your Congressperson and Senators do not speak out against the atrocities happening in our country, and you vote to re-elect them, then you are complicit.
