Here we fucking go.
Trump couldn’t get Congress to restrict mail-in voting, so he went around Congress. Now the Supreme Court is letting parts of it move forward.
We have to plan for this.

When you appoint reality TV people to the most important positions of the government running massive federal agencies, don’t be surprised when they treat the job like a reality TV show starring themselves while we pay them and the expenses.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs.
Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year.
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

I think this is an accurate assessment - at least somewhere around this number.
The problem isn’t rebuilding the bases, it’s force protection.
Iran knows what works, now they’re reconstituting their capabilities during the lull in fighting.
Emboldening them was a grave mistake

It's hard to fathom that anyone thinks ICE can be reformed or retrained. ICE needs to be dismantled and then cauterized so it can't grow back. #AbolishICE

The five biggest defense contractors spent more than $100B on buybacks and dividends since 2020.
I have a simple question for defense contractors:
If taxpayers are giving you billions to build military equipment, why are you buying back your own stock?
This needs to stop.

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028, and frankly zero interest in the 2028 fantasy football right now ... these midterms are the whole ballgame ... I don't know that we have a free and fair election in 2028 unless we restore checks and balances in these 2026 midterms."
