Journalism is the accountability factor in American politics and must be allowed to function freely without prejudice!

It’s not just weird; it’s delusional.

HE. IS. PSYCHOTIC.

If your grandpa said things like this, you’d take him in for a full neuropsychiatric workup.

And it’s time the media starts interviewing psychiatrists and psychologists to talk about it.

DO. YOUR. JOBS.
If this is actually something being considered, seems weird to broadcast to the world where they can find a stash of weapons to target in DC. This is obviously some bizarre effort to wrap this arch idea into national defense

Idiocy runs through the Trump administration and their actions!
LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Timber lobbyists tossed 625,000 public comments in the trash, betting public rage would fizzle by Sunday. What furious constituents are doing to congressional inboxes this afternoon is pure poetic justice. Stop the 45M acre giveaway:

This is disgusting, horrible and disrespectful, but I hadn't expected anything else from Trump….

If ICE were actually doing its lawful duty, we wouldn't be walking the streets. Mass deportation is not a legitimate answer to our country's problems!

Great analogy!
Desperate Donnie's panicky plan to bribe voters is not only highly illegal, it's also incredibly expensive (1.3 trillion w/ a "T") & really, REALLY dumb (w/ a "B"). He knows accountability is coming on 11/3/26! #TickTickTick

Once a working man! With a family to feed!
Before I was a politician, I was a proud union member.

I’m honored to stand with my union brothers and sisters on Labor Day and every day.

In the Senate, I’ll fight to raise pay, lower costs, and empower Texas workers.

Politics is a drag even in the best of times... Today is an extremely dangerous time in our lives because of reckless political ideology.

Support those whom you believe in. Give what you can in support, and voice your opinion as a voter in a free election.

Wealth disparity in America is real and dire!
In America, the wealthiest 10% of households own over 67% of the nation's total wealth, while the top 1% alone holds roughly 31% to 32% of all personal wealth. In contrast, the entire bottom 50% of Americans own about 2.5% of the country's wealth.

Mark Cuban needs to be speaking out more, along with others with bank accounts!
CUBAN: “.. James Talarico. Let's go. I'm a big fan. He's honest, trustworthy, he cares. .. To Texans, do what's best for Texas. You've been voting for Republicans all these years, what have they done for you?"

Maybe if this administration restored the food safety inspectors they fired and the regulations they gutted, this would stop happening.

Ossoff on why he invoked Natalie Harp during his speech: "We're in wartime. The commander in chief has mired us in this geopolitical disaster. People have lost their lives ... and he retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides who are his security blanket to make him feel good about himself"

John F. Kennedy knew his strengths and his weaknesses and often relied on others for knowledge of issues he was unsure of. A true leader relies on knowledge from others to make sound decisions!

El-Sayed: "Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that system if we knew our healthcare would be free at point of care"

We're redesigning 175 bus routes, representing over 70% of all routes in New York City, and the voices and experiences of New Yorkers are at the forefront of our planning.

I joined Brooklyn bus riders for a Fast Buses Town Hall to talk about how we're making buses fast and improving service.
