After growing up in the 60s, surviving the 70s, denying the 80s, and ignoring the 90s, I've reached the stage of life where I'm starting to repeat the phrase "The good old days" a lot more. Thank you @StephenAtHome and @BarackObama for the memories. youtu.be/95KTrtzOY-g

Melanie D’Arrigo blasted Mitch McConnell after his return to the Senate following his medical leave. McConnell received paid sick leave for over 3 months & Cadillac health care paid for by taxpayers while he supported policies limiting paid sick leave & healthcare for Americans.

Let's get the facts straight you blind, hateful Trump worshipper....Democrats don't hate Jews. We di despise the deceitful, corrupt, war-monger Netanyahu!

Real Americans don’t show up at a state fair with professionally printed political signs. Paid protestors do.

This a great video to watch. It goes through all Trumps failed businesses. I don’t understand how Trump can even be called a businessman. Every company either failed or went bankrupt. And the Trump Organization supposedly a real estate company sells the Trump name that gets slapped up on other developers properties. And given the allegations of money laundering that have been brought to light that appears to be the main focus of his company and how he makes his money. Trump is the expert on how to launder money 💰

I was at Walmart today, minding my own business and checking out the zucchini. A woman walked up next to me with who I assume was her husband. She was wearing a hijab. And then… absolutely nothing happened. She went about her shopping. I went about mine. Her choice to wear a hijab had absolutely zero impact on my day, my freedom, or my ability to buy zucchini. She didn’t tell me I needed to wear one. She didn’t try to force one on me. She didn’t hold me down and put one on my head. I know. Crazy, right? Almost like people can practice their own religion, wear what they choose, and live their lives without forcing everyone else to live the same way. Wild concept.

Donald Trump posted a graphic targeting Abdul El-Sayed and his wife, comparing them to him and Melania with the caption “Two Very Different America’s.” Here’s how El-Sayed flipped it right back on him live on CNN: El-Sayed: Yeah, he's right. One in which your overlords are two people who don't like each other, but joined in the interest of making billions of dollars off of you. Or two people who genuinely love each other, enjoyed some pancakes together, want to come together to build the kind of America where they can raise a family and know that that family is going to have the good things. So, yes, you got two different visions of America. Donald Trump's vision is the one you're living in right now. Can you afford your gas? Can you afford your groceries? Do you believe, when you look your kids in the eye, that they're going to have a better future than you did? And Sarah and I are running because when we look our daughters in the eye, Emmalee and Shireen, we want them to believe that they're every bit as able to have a better future than the one that they could have had under the Trump administration. That they can live together with their sisters and their brothers in America in a way where they lock arms to build the good things that they deserve together. Where they know they'll have the healthcare that they need and good jobs, and that they don't have to go 15 minutes and know that there are kids who live 15 minutes away whose lives are very, very different than theirs because we've been, for far too long, okay with a level of inequality in this country. I want them to live in an America where they can breathe clean air and drink clean water. And actually, Sarah and I like each other. I don't know about the First Lady and the President, but from what I've heard, it's a bit of a rocky road.

People with 6 teeth defending people with 8 yachts is one of the greatest political achievements in modern history.

Patton: Liberates France and then marches directly into Nazi Germany. MacArthur: Defeats Japan and forces their surrender. Trump: Renames it Department of War and then loses the first war he starts.

I’m trying to get the Republican messaging for the midterms straight. Is it: The economy sucks but it’s Biden’s fault and Trump’s tariffs and war has nothing to do with any of it. OR The economy is great, we’re the hottest country in the world, & Trump deserves all the credit.

I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned. We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt. I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars. And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence. And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it. The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen. I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.

It's like a virus going around...

When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain. A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.” That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love. I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.

Fine. We will report on US Rapists and Serial Sexual Assaults!

Thanks I forgot: Joe Biden received 81 million votes. More than any candidate for President in the history of this country. It was a total landslide. A wipe out of historic proportions. He then went on to pass more bipartisan legislation than any President since LBJ. Conversely Donald Trump has not done much except start a war no one wanted doubled inflation expanded the trade deficit to historic highs and enriched himself and his family to the tune of billions of dollars.

President Trump is now publicly claiming that the United States will SEIZE KHARG ISLAND. What are the advantages to doing so, what are the disadvantages, and is this a viable strategy? Let’s start with the disadvantages first, because… it’s grim. And stupid. One of the key reasons why the United States has LONG planned for a potential invasion of Kharg is because this one tiny island is the export hub for 90% of Iran’s oil. So obviously… if you take Kharg, you’re effectively wiping out Iran’s ability to sell their oil. Here’s the problem… umm… we have a blockade? Iran CAN’T export their oil via the Strait of Hormuz ALREADY. I’ve ran the numbers. I know what the blockade and economic warfare campaign is going to Iran. Yes, they can sell to China from their ~70M barrels of oil held in at-sea storage East of the U.S. blockade line. Yes, Iran is exporting ~250,000 barrels per day via trucking and rail routes through their land borders. No. Their exports are not even CLOSE to what they were prior to the War, or even throughout March and the first half of April. Why? BECAUSE THERE’S A BLOCKADE. What are the other problems here? Well first off, it’s a fixed position that would constantly come under fire from drones and missile barrages. We would likely, in the absolute best case, lose hundreds of lives. Worst case? Well into the thousands. Would it change… ANYTHING about the war? No. It literally would not matter. In the last 5 weeks, Iran has loaded a WHOPPING… one vessel at Kharg Island. One. Single. Vessel. Why is this? Well, about 5 weeks ago, there was satellite imagery published that showed an oil slick. Initial reporting, somewhat hilariously, estimated the total spill to be 3,000-70,000 barrels of oil. Quite the range there guys. Now what happened? @TankerTrackers hypothesized that the most likely reason was due to an UNINTENTIONAL oil spill due to a leaky shadow fleet vessel. Due to sanctions imposed on Iran, they don’t have the ability to ship their oil on new and modern vessels with double-hulled exteriors meant to prevent leaks. They have utilize tankers that are 30+ years old, and built at a time when only single-hulled exteriors were the norm. As a result, it is likely that there may have been a leak. To be abundantly clear and to get ahead of the uninformed, uneducated Fox News readers: there is not a SHRED of evidence Iran was “intentionally dumping oil into the Strait due to a lack of storage”. You know who did do that? Saddam Hussein. Was it 70,000 barrels? Try 10 million. This is not Iran “dumping oil”. As a result, it is hypothesized that this drastically increased fire risk to any vessels that may want to load up, and this is why so few (one) vessels have loaded ~2M barrels total over the last 5 weeks. So disadvantages? A lot of American’s dying for… an oil export hub that is not being used, and that is blockaded anyways. What are the upsides? Well… since 1983, Donald Trump has highlighted the importance of Kharg to Iran. And he’s right. It’s their single most important economic asset, bar none. From a symbolic standpoint, seizing Kharg is a huge PR win for the United States and President Trump that is DESPERATELY needed at this point. And my belief is that, if they seize and hold Kharg, and steal the oil held in onshore storage, which is tens of millions of barrels, this MAY be enough of a “win” for Trump to claim victory and walk away. But don’t get it twisted. It’s not a victory. Iran isn’t even USING Kharg anymore. The U.S. has a blockade that would make it a moot point anyways. The risks of invading Kharg FAR outweigh the rewards, and this would be an incredibly reckless and dangerous move from Donald Trump.

And maybe we can all agree that nobody should be homeless, nobody should go broke because they got sick, everyone should have access to recovery, and poverty shouldn't exist in one of the richest societies in history.

D-Day was 82 years ago on June 6, 1944. If Trump had been president at that time, we'd all be speaking German.

In 1969, the Black Panthers launched free breakfast programs across the US, feeding thousands of kids before school. The FBI called it a threat. In some cities, police raided kitchens, smashed food, and urinated on supplies to shut them down. A THREAD

Polish @TVPWorld_com just aired this, and whoever added that music to Pete Hegseth’s girly workout routine deserves an award. I’m dead. 💀🤣
