If you're on here telling trans people to shut up and vote, you should be angry that Republicans have manipulated you to such a degree. Why aren't you angry about it

This is a community that has an unemployment rate of 30% which rivals the great depression and suicide rates that are orders of magnitude worse than the general population. And those in power decided to go after this community and blame it for every problem in society. It's fucked.

There is also the uncomfortable fact that the national debt passed a record $40 trillion yesterday, much sooner than expected. The U.S. is currently spending more than a trillion dollars a year to pay interest on the national debt, more than it spends on defense.

"no one will be normal about AOC if she runs for president" is both true and a bad reason for her not to run. you could run the most milquetoast middle of the road clean cut straight white man alive and the right is still going to act like the deranged freaks they are

After raising costs by $1,700 per household last year, Trump issued tariff refunds for… Walmart: $2.4B Apple: $2.2B Ford: $1.3B Amazon: $600M Your refund: $0 Just another transfer of wealth from everyday Americans to mega-corporations.

Any president sending bulldozers to rip through our national parks is committing an unforgivable crime against our country's heritage. Trump & his GOP enablers are perfectly happy to permanently destroy America’s pristine landscapes just to build monuments to their own hate & political theater.

Issue for Rs is stocks have been soaring under Trump - corporations and the wealthy got a fresh round of tax cuts, many getting massive refunds after scotus nuked his global tariff regime, regulations nixed - but consumers / voters very unhappy. K-shaped $ -> K-shaped politics

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

The US built the greatest talent magnet ever, attracting the smart, skilled, and striving. They’d come to study, then stay and build things here, or leave with positive impressions and fruitful connections. Helped make the US wealthy and powerful. Then America chose to throw it away. And for what?

Crowley, who was polling at 5%, dropped out. Dem leaders convinced him to get back in because they will get the governor to endorse him as well as ensure Mandela Barnes, who is polling at 25-30%, drops out. This is all to stop Hong, the person actually winning right now, because they love democracy

As Biden warned about democracy's collapse, TV networks aired reruns
While broadcasters typically air a prime-time address by the president, they determined that this speech was more 'political' than newsworthy for live coverage

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.
