The man literally got away with a failed coup and then the voters (with a big help from Biden, SCOTUS, and the media) let him walk back in. Why on earth would you think he's gonna just leave? I swear to God people are just unwilling to open their eyes because they're scared shitless
I don't know how you look at everything Trump's been doing to mess with the election and think anything other than that he's trying to rig it. But whether he will succeed is a different matter, as Bob Kuttner reports.

We could have universal healthcare and a balanced budget if we just cut out Trump, the Trump family, Trump's wars and his bogus businesses.

Eleanor Roosevelt’s gun permit (which she got it around the time the klan put a $25k bounty on her head). What a vibe

I'm glad that many Democrats are changing their tune on immigration, but in this house, we never forget who voted for the Laken Riley Act and who voted for Biden's shameful border militarization bill.

Bad, whiny messaging that is demoralizing to read. If I don’t see bold-face phrases like “annihilate funding” and “criminal prosecutions” I want new Dem representatives
ICE is out of control, and we must hold them accountable for their abuses of power.

Eric Adams, a gentile, going after Brad Lander, a Jew, for not investing in Israel because Adams is running on the End Antisemitism party line to try to salvage his own corrupt legacy and hold onto power is really giving the game away in a way that I hope people notice
📨 NYC Mayor Eric Adams is accusing Comptroller Brad Lander of effectively divesting from Israel by choosing not to reinvest in Israeli bonds.
In a letter sent today, First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro is requesting a formal review of that decision to be completed within a week.
