Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

In just months, Zohran Mamdani has shown what politics looks like when leaders actually try governing for ordinary people instead of donors and cable news panels. Affordable housing, childcare, transit, workers’ dignity and immigrant protection are not “radical” ideas.

I hope Dems are really, really vetting candidates so there are no more Fetterman, Manchin or Sinemas... Enough already. Andy Dem who switches party after election should return all donations back to the people.

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

Imagine how many taxpayer dollars and investigative resources of the govt are being flushed down the toilet by Trump’s criminal defense attorney to try and convince non-cultists that he won. Resources that could be used to investigate actual crime.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Russia cannot conquer Ukraine without U.S. help. The only hope for the invaders to avoid defeat was to install Trump in the White House and then exploit their asset to force Ukrainian defenders to give up. Trump is hysterical with rage at Ukrainians because his boss Putin is.
