Looking for honest discourse, actual facts; I’m a champion for women’s rights, advocate for science and responsible action to combat climate change, sick of the corrupt GOP and clowns in orange turd’s cabinet. USA is now a joke thanks to MAGAts. Attorney.

Guess which other narcissistic, mentally unstable authoritarian leader called for an arch and a ballroom to be built as grand monuments to his glory. I'm sure it's just a coincidence . . .

Thousands of Cornell students have taken over the main plaza on campus to demand the Cornell 7 be held accountable for their crimes. 21% of undergraduate women are raped or sexual assaulted during their time on campus.

An American president is encouraging an enemy to destroy American cities. This is treason, though he will claim we are not at war.

Zionism is racism. The United Nations voted to declare it as such in 1975, half a century ago. This isn’t new, and this isn’t controversial.

He’s been president for six years, and his healthcare legacy is cutting coverage while offering nothing but a laughable “concept” of a plan. Six years later, the “plan” is still just empty promises dressed up as policy.

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.

President Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear that he’s happy to use official government resources in ethically dubious ways to try to win the 2026 midterm elections.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

I think the Senate Judiciary Hearing today, where they tried…in vain…to smear Jack Smith, was better than anything else that could have taken place to boost voter turnout for democracy. I think it reminded a lot of people just how much they hate these swindlers…and why.
