You are exactly right, Lee! The Citizens United decision was the beginning of the end, when it was ruled that corporations had the same rights as citizens.

You are exactly right, Lee! The Citizens United decision was the beginning of the end, when it was ruled that corporations had the same rights as citizens.
This man should loose his medical license, oh and he is also insane. First, do no harm. Florida will harm a lot of children.
Kehoe is an Ahoe!
At this insane announcement the crowd erupts in applause! Measles, mumps, varicella, polio? Public health be damned. Who will protect the children?
How can people applaud this madness? My god, have you seen what a kid goes through with the measles? The hypocrisy of this speaker in a state where there is an abortion ban. This is insane.
How can someone named Wright be so wrong?
Kevin Ryan @kevryanforillinois.bsky.social Marine Corps veteran, Chicago Public Schools teacher, and candidate for the U.S. Senate in Illinois. I am running a progressive, grassroots campaign to take money out of politics and put it into the working class.
Marc Elias?
Just moments ago after this press conference Trump again called it The Epstein Hoax! He is complicit and a liar. Just 2 more signatures are needed on the Discharge Petition to release the Epstein Files. Call your Representatives now and demand that they are released.
So much dumb in one room!
Will we really need to bring our license plates in to vote like our feckless leader proclaimed? If so, some people are going to have to go out and buy a car!
No matter what JD does, he’ll always look like a Cabbage Patch doll to me!
September colors abound….
Mellow, yellow Monday.
They voted for him because they wanted permission to be racists.
Bags of dirty diapers probably. Nobody wants to touch them.
I choose the people of Chicago! As Governor Pritzger said, trump will be invading America’s 3rd largest city and that is illegal, unconstitutional and unacceptable!!!!
How can she say that with a straight face? Oh, yea, I forgot the Botox effect!
Think of what would have awaited those innocent children if that inhumane act would have been allowed to happen!!!! What have we become? Who will save the children?
Show them! They are the ‘show me’ state!
We are!
Trust and believe the (now)women. They were just girls when they were raped, trafficked and abused by Maxwell, Epstein and Trump.
Iowa did a great job of organizing and working for Caitlin Drey’s election. Plus she was an excellent candidate and will be a great state Senator.
Chuck Edwards abandoned Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene. He was much more interested in sucking up to trump than helping his constituents!
John Deere would like a word!
Don’t forget rotted whale goo!
My heart breaks for these poor children and their parents. What our government is doing is illegal, inhumane, heartless and abusive. There will be a special place in hell for trump and Stephen Miller.

He’s had already caused quite a few in Africa before being appointed.
Many Iowans from all across the state worked hard to make this happen. We also have several excellent candidates running against Joni Ernst. It will be an interesting Democratic Primary. Strong candidates challenging GOP incumbents in the US House. Iowa is looking bluer everyday.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful photograph!
Last time I hiked there we saw a mama moose and her precious little baby. That area is just breathtakingly beautiful and should be protected.
Why is this lunatic doing this? People will pay with their lives. When does this become a crime? Kennedy is a killer.
Who will protect us from these madmen?
Kowtow, debase, suck up, brown nose, degrade, devalue, demean….i can keep going!
Something’s happening here!
I might just start going to Mass again! Not really, but this is compelling.
Dignity, where art thou?
What do the Baileys think?????
We are working on it! Iowa has several highly qualified Democrats running against her. The Primary will be interesting. We have the momentum and although we’re all going to die we have a lot to accomplish before we do, like defeating Joni Ernst!!!!
This is such great news. So many people worked so hard to make this happen!
Me, too! There is so much to be tackled- the brain drain, horrible GDP, number one in cancer rates, water quality, Medicaid cuts and school vouchers depleting state budget. We stand a much better chance of fixing things with Democrats at the wheel. Feeling hopeful! Blue baby steps
Law suit time!!!!
We are really fired up in Iowa to get back to being Blue! The super majority in Iowa’s Senate has been broken! Congrats to Catelin Drey!
Iowa’s looking bluer everyday!
I’ve been having this song run nonstop through my head lately. Takes me back to the late 60’s and early 70’s when we protested the US involvement in Viet Nam. Today somehow seems much worse than then.
Lots of things with trump go on under the table!
He is a soulless, life sucking ghoul!
And her mangey hair extensions, too!!!!
Something is broken in Stephen Miller’s heart and brain.
Where is today’s Tom Joad?
Beautiful Monterey Bay would be nothing without its varied and abundant life that depends on its deep, clean kelp filled waters. Lived in Aptos for years. There is nothing quite like the Bay! Kudos to the city of Monterey!
FFS
My hero, Rachel Carson!
These are brave women who are not afraid to tell the truth and do the right thing!
Just like Jon Snow Joe Scarborough knows nothing!
My neighbors would do and say the same and I would do the same for them.
Iowa is no longer a red state. There I said it.
Ken Martin is not the best person for the job.
Ugh! AIPAC!
Yes,things are changing in Iowa, becoming bluer everyday! This special election is huge. Caitlin Drey is an exceptional (D)candidate and Christopher Prosch (R) is an ultra conservative podcaster. Have you checked out all the quality Dem. candidates running against Joni Ernst? Check out Josh Turek!
This young man did nothing wrong. Meijer on the other hand should be ashamed of themselves.
The American people deserve more and we will continue to fight for it! It’s up to all of us to stand up for our country and for ourselves. We can do this #together!! #50501movement #resist #reclaim
That’s why I said that. We all know she would never, ever support anything that actually helps every day Iowans!
My arteries will testify to that!
Anthony knows a lot about a lot of important stuff!
Did the hate blast melt the butter cow? Probably the only time they’ve ever been moooved by anything! Good for you!
You are getting much better treatment than Joni Ernst has been getting at the Iowa State Fair. If she had a dollar for every time someone yelled, “we’re all going to die”” at her, she could fund an Iowa summer food program for impoverished school children!
Plate changers…..
Lucky you. When I moved from CA to IA I went from the best Governor to the worst Governor. Really, Kim Reynolds is ranked 50th in the US. It was quite a disappointing switch.
Gorgeous. Dahlias make me so happy. Starting a dahlia painting soon.
That transcript is not worth the paper it’s printed on. Unless there were witnesses to the meeting the transcript is basically a work of fiction. It means absolutely nothing!
John Roberts is responsible for a lot of terrible things happening in our country today!
He pretty much sums it up…everyone needs to find his passion and courage!
During Hurricane Helene in North Carolina when we lost power, internet and cell service, the only way we could get lifesaving information was via the radio. It literally saved lives,united families and disseminated crucial information to those of us who had no other way of getting important info.
Sadly I no longer live in CA…
Hmmmmm. I don’t agree.
He was my Governor in CA and I thought he was very effective and a great leader.
Ernst in Iowa is also VERY vulnerable. Check out Josh Turek!
ICE are pigs! There I said it.
I’d throw a liverwurst Sammie at Goebels incarnate.
Trump is responsible for this by recognizing, emulating and normalizing Putin’s criminal behavior. War criminal, Putin, now feels empowered to kill even more in Ukraine.
Said the very same thing…great minds.
Focus on the funeral….
Actually Joe it was quite embarrassing when you and Mika slithered down to Mar a Lago right after the election…Now that was embarrassing!
This is so wrong and so frightening!!!!!!
Listen!
We need to fight for our democracy.
Read about Rockbridge!
The Confederacy strikes again. Let’s go tougher on them this time around. And check out the crime rates in their ruby red states!!!!!!
Happy birthday, Molly. Have a lovely day. It’s been extremely rough on all of us, but your input and insight inspire me and make things a little brighter.
The GOP hates women and they especially hate women of color.
Time for some big ole law suits.
People in Iowa are stoked!
Big news.Thank you JD Scholten. Turek is gaining momentum. Joni Ernst is fidgeting just a little.
