I cherish our Constitution and Bill of Rights. I want a country that has achieved social justice and equality. I want a democracy that serves all the citizenry, not exclusively the rich. I want an end to money in politics. I seek a more perfect union.

Of the two parties we have, Democrats are the only functional viable and working party. Your and other's attacks don't help. They only are divisive. If you want to bitch and complain or point out deficiencies, defects and corruption, do it about the party that deserves it, the republican party.
I imagine that you speak to a relatively small audience that is tuned into your issues and jargon. Often what you post is not clear, plain English that is comprehensible to me. It needs to be translated to be understood. Maybe it's a generational thing.
Trump and his administration are getting exactly what they want in the military that they want everywhere: chaos, confusion, and divided loyalties.
Very sweet.
If Trump's health is failing, whatever it is, I hope it's excruciating and continues to worsen, but slowly, to prolong the misery.
Pretty kitty likes the music!
While Trump is home watching tv and recovering from whatever, if that's what he's doing, on Wednesday he'll be able to watch the Epstein victims testify to Congress so at least he'll have some tv worth watching.
Excellent display of truthful knowledge.
What people who are saying they are being forced to accept these things are not saying is that they are being forced to accept being taken over by a kleptocratic, fascist, misogynistic, xenophobic, hateful and sadistic elderly senile wannabe dictator and his bumbling, incompetent admin and rep party
I don't use AI and don't plan to ever knowingly use it. From what I've seen of it it usually often produces factually wrong, bland, non-creative and boring content. AI is the exact opposite to human intelligence and creativity. People who use AI are condoning theft and killing their creativity.

The article states that Epstein died by suicide. It would be more accurate for it to say that he died by alleged suicide.
Johnson won't be able to slither away from it indefinitely.
So true. ❤️

In Fort Worth, TX, Beto O’Rourke asks all of us, “What if?”
He should follow only the medical advice of RFK Jr.
Good for him.
Hope that Trump dies is a common hope that sustains us and gives us strength. But it's not just Trump. It's also Trumpism and all the bootlickers and incompetent opportunists that surround him and his entire adm. It's his entire family, including in-laws. We should all gleefully wish and have hope.
Unions could also be one of the types of groups and organization involved in helping to organize a general strike should that become necessary. IMO the need for a general strike already exists because of the hideous wealth and income inequality that is rupturing this country. We need a fair tax code

Vaccinating the public is the only way to ensure a continued healthy population. But it has to be the majority of the population that must be vaccinated.
All news of localized resistance, opposition, and activism against Putin, his oligarch clique, and the old-school soviet regime with its delusion of seeking to recapture the glory of the old empire is good news, whether it comes from partisans or peasants, Ukrainian, or Russian.
The new Covid vaccinations are limited to those over 65 with pre-existing conditions and to people from 4 to 64 but only if they have one medical condition that puts them at risk for illness. They are then required to consult with a doctor first. Herd immunity remains important. But not for Trump.

Why aren't ALL democrats using their public platforms maximally EVERY DAY to reach out to their constituents and to republican and independent voters who have been abandoned or never really represented, to advance a progressive agenda that helps people? Why don't you present it to the whole caucus?

Trump is immune from prosecution thanks to the A-hole Robert's conservative Supreme Court majority. But Vought isn't. Isn't it past time that Vought be prosecuted and sent to jail for his many crimes against the country?
Finally some validation of Trump's illegal actions and idiocy.
When are Americans going to start demanding that their government start to work for them and do what is best for the most people? To protect us, instead of harm, injure or impoverish us? This is a republic which means that everyone is supposed to count and have representation. Not just rich elites.
Republicans show their cards. We know who and what they represent. It's not their constituents, or "The People." Democrats have long played the same role as republicans in big money government to the highest bidder. Representation should mean doing the most good for the most people. Not for profit.
The new Covid vaccination, and ALL Covid vaccinations, must be available to ALL Americans. Not just the tiny populations it has been limited to by the Trump administration. Why? To save money and abdicate protecting us? In Trump's 1st term Covid killed 400,000 Americans. Does Trump want more deaths?

Getting the Epstein files that Bondi has so far not released to Congress, even despite being subpoenaed, is a long slow process of delays and inaction. Getting this information from the Epstein estate, if it happens, will very likely be the fastest way to obtain it. And it won't be redacted.
These constituents called this sleazebag politicians out on his lies.
Good for these Alabamans for holding this sleazy politician to account.
While these talking heads are analyzing whether or not this country is moving toward authoritarianism, Trump is doing every thing he can to try to do just that. These so-called political experts can't see what is right in front of them so how can they be expected to offer any useful information?
Two methods can be employed as a means to reject and oppose Trump's fascism: 1. A national boycott of paying federal taxes next year. Pay your state taxes. But don't pay federal taxes. And, 2. A general strike. Organized Labor has the infrastructure and experts to help organize a general strike.
Labor Unions and worker power are key to a better life and are a crucially important component of maintaining a healthy republic and our democracy. Organized Labor needs to expand. All work places and industries should have union protections and support.
I am not a Mainer but I am so thankful that a good candidate has finally decided to run against Collins and hopefully give her the boot. It's long overdue.
Beautiful
The restrictions on who gets the updated Covid vaccine limiting it to just a small portion of the population is a continuation of Trump's policy from his first term to try to kill or make sick as many people as possible from Covid. The Covid booster should be available to all Americans as always.
The reason she's leaving is probably because she won't want to be around when so many people in her state no longer have health care or access to hospitals near them and start dying as a result of her vote to make that happen. Such a callous bitch.
Good. She's such a b--ch.
These ICE/Gestapo pigs are so f-----g disgusting. If they had any morality or consciousness they would not do what they do.
He actually surprisingly told the truth.
Hegseth is such a dunce.
Sounds boring AF to me.
All of those on the other side of the table look simultaneously bored and amused by her bullshit.
From Trump's precious token sycophant (pseudo-latina/maga/teabagger bootlicking) Secretary of Labor (no experience or competence except following orders) from Oregon.
Witkoff takes obsequiousness to Trump farther than almost all of the boot lickers in Trump's inner circle. And he is incredibly stupid. About everything.
True. That is good of him. But is it the only partially redemptive thing he does? Could his constituents do better with a different representative?
That is indeed good news.
Countries do not appoint ambassadors from other countries. But they do have their relationships with them. I am happy to for France to deal with Kushner in any way it chooses to do so. To have the type of relationship with him that it wants.
It is Jews like the Kushners that turn otherwise non anti-semitic people anti-semitic.
Looks very good!
That IS good news! Just goes to show that you can only go so far trying to fuck over mother nature before she bitch slaps you bad.
Exactly. Many politicians and pundits come from the elite class, have their biases, and are often partisan political operatives. The power of their influence is dependent on whether their audience validates their opinions, or not. That is why it is so important for people themselves to vet them.

I'm just waiting to see how it plays out and what effect, if any, the Epstein files have on public opinion, whether they are released, or not, and whether they are redacted if released, or not.
When Bill Barr was AG under Trump he grudgingly eventually released the Mueller Report after it was so heavily redacted that it effectively obstructed any real scrutiny. AG Barr treated it like the property of Trump. Will the more extreme sycophant AG Bondi try the same with the Epstein Files?

I wish Iowa the best of luck. It needs it. Badly.
Pleasant. Sounds similar to Phil Collin's smooth easy rock.
It's especially important for labor unions to continue to organize against the Trump administration's hostility to labor and working people. Power to labor unions and to working people!
Hoping for an American redux of the Nuremberg Trials.
These Vets are truly standing up for democracy and against fascism.
Excellent work, Ukraine! Slava Ukraini!
The truth is that Russia is very weak, unstable, vulnerable and is primed to collapse economically and politically. And I think that is fantastic.
I'm all for it!

These fools really believe in the former glory of a russia that is failed and long gone. It's pitiful and delusional.
He is 'trying' to fire her. There's a difference. Please report accurately.
Keep up the campaign, Ukraine!
I would like to see the unavailability of gas in all regions across all of Russia.
That is why russia has already lost its battle: it is morally dead.
For me pasta cooked softer than al dente with a velvety smooth cheese sauce made from sharp aged cheddar and fontina is the best mac and cheese.
Mrs. Betty Bowers is the greatest!
I love it.
Why should courts restrain themselves on fines for civil matters when Trump and his family have added between 3 and 4 billion dollars to their portfolio since January on crypto trading alone?
So there is a potential silver lining? Good.
Sorry. I don't know what you are referring to because it is not shown on my thread.
WTF would we be "screwed" if the Epstein files are not leaked? Do you really think they have any relevance except as a deflection from all of Trump's other shit? You've been sucked into and are emotional about it. The only thing of importance in the Epstein matter is hearing out his victims.
If they are masked and intrude into your dwelling your right to defend yourself is paramount.

Nice easy listening smooth funk.
Sometimes I like a good trance.
Yeah. It's pretty cool.
Now this is what protest is all about.
DC is beautiful. #FreeDC
The music added to this video, while dreamy and ethereal, is a disconnect from and degrades the experience being shown. It's a stupid and useless addition to the video.
What was this guys crime for these goons to act like nazi jackboot thugs? Did he do anything illegal or suspicious? I doubt it.
I like it. Has a Donna Summer disco dance beat vibe.
I think credit should be given to whom it is due. Hegseth, as the head of the DoD, is responsible for this disabling of the Navy. He is a Trump sycophant and an alcoholic boot licker.
Trump stopped sanctions on Russia. That's why. Europe, not the US, is rolling out effective sanctions. But even those could be deeper and have a more effective financial punch. But, in Alaska, Trump gave Putin what he wants: no beefed up sanctions from the US. You know, the sanctions Trump promised.
