Again the Dem establishment is more comfortable with neocons and never Trump Republicans than their own base.
🤔 @JamesCarville: “I’d rather Republicans keep the house by 5 than Dems win by 5… Because then they’re hostage to DSA, and Hakeem can’t move.”
😬@BillKristol: “Good point.”
So afraid of DSA folks who want M4ALL, etc. they’d rather Republicans hold power. Unreal. True colors.

Trump: If Democrats win, “You’re going to be thrown into a system where everyone gets healthcare.”

Not staying quiet about a failed status quo in the name of unity. Not going to betray voters done with the donor class.

Angie Nixon: Only 10 years ago I was just a young staffer on the Bernie 2016 campaign spreading his incredible message of people over profits
It was a fight worth fighting for then, and I am proud to be in the fight together with him right now.
Working people are sick and tired of the skyrocketing costs. They're sick and tired of the corruption that's raising the prices.
And they're sick and tired of politicians like LYIN CHEATIN STEALIN SCAMMIN Ashley Moody who are getting rich from the corruption while we just continue to struggle to get by.

Alex Gibney: “There was an estimate that what [Elon Musk] did by suddenly cutting USAID would cost through disease and starvation as many as 14M lives. Even if you discount that, we know within a year of those cuts where they were literally burning food going to starving children, 500K children died. This is really a crime against humanity, but he makes a joke about it, I put USAID into the woodchipper. What he put into the woodchipper were children”
This woman is irritating
Kmele Foster asks Yemisi Egbewole whether the Dem Party is trending in the DSA's direction:
Going into 2028, the DSA—baby gets put in a corner.
It was fun, so many seats in New York, yay. Maybe you get one DSA adjacent with Abdul in Michigan. I say if it's anything less than 5 points, then it doesn't count.
But anybody running to represent America is not going to seek anybody who's a part of the DSA. I'm okay with admitting they did well. They won their races. They didn't really defeat moderates. Dan Goldman wasn't a moderate.
Michael Moynihan: I think that's why you see the Gaza issue beaten like a drum even though there's some relative calm in the Middle East.

Chuck Schumer has yet to say a word in defense of Omar.
Me and Ilhan Omar are far apart policy wise. I’m pro life, she’s pro abortion. I’m pro 2A, she’s pro gun control. And on and on.
But can someone tell me how pretending to get ready to deport Ilhan Omar is going to bring gas down under $2, make health insurance freaking affordable, make a family’s weekly grocery bill make sense, and stop sending our beloved military off to fight for another fucking foreign war???
People are so sick and tired of the bullshit.
When you dumb mf’ers at the WH actually release the Epstein files and lock up the pedophiles and rapists you all hang out with, then we will start paying attention.
Until then 🖕.

Hasan Piker: “I’m a socialist, I’m an anti-imperialist, I want what’s best for Americans, and what’s best for everyone all around the world. We live in the wealthiest nation on the planet and I find it unconscionable that there are 600K people who go to sleep outside every single night. I find it unconscionable that we do not have a public healthcare system. We certainly have enough money to pay for it. I find it morally repugnant that we use so much of our productive output on waging wars overseas, destabilizing the entire world, instead of using that wealth on ourselves”

Once again. Just like the Paramount Merger Gavin Newsom does what he always does. Sells out the working class people for the billionaires again and again. Not only that but endorses a bill that will make it impossible to tax the wealthy at all.

In the past 24 hours...
1. We found out that data centers are bot farms
2. Bot farms play a direct role in changing public opinion and changing elections
3. Billionaires desperately support and want data centers
I think it's safe to say that billionaires are the catalyst for the far-right rise we've seen globally...
