You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation to Africa. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?

Collins: My ideal end of this war would be in agreement by Iran that it would stop pursuing the enrichment of uranium for a nuclear weapon Jackson: I think we did have an agreement before Donald Trump tore it up and decided to go to war..

Yes, all I'm saying is that strategically, the key issue is identifying WHY few Americans agreed that Biden was a good president. It wasn't just age. Was it policy? Or was it the kind of attacks that would be wielded regardless of policy?

This is the dumbest analysis imaginable. Democrats lost because they re-nominated an 82 yo unpopular incumbent and when he had a health event on stage they replaced him w the unpopular VP they clearly had no confidence in. Voters didn’t like that she was a CA progressive, so she tried to shake that off by running a completely different campaign, but refused to distance herself from her unpopular boss. This left voters without a clear sense of who she was. She made a lousy VP pick that added almost nothing to the campaign. This is why she lost. Her ONE DAY with Liz Cheney is not. I didn’t consult for her campaign or advise it in any way, only said yes to helping when asked to moderate an event, because I desperately wanted her to win. Part of the reasons Dems struggle is they are unwilling to look facts about voters square in the face and love to pretend the world is different than it is. But you can’t win going forward if you can’t be honest about why your candidate lost. And if you’re looking to blame people for Trump winning, look no further than all the folks who couldn’t be bothered to vote for Kamala because she wasn’t pure enough for them.

Jon Ossoff chats with longtime morning radio host Frank Ski: I spoke to a group of young people yesterday and some of them told me they were feeling despair. And I was very blunt with them that despair is an indulgence. Despair is a luxury that we can't afford.

Has the pope actually read the Bible? Honest question. God commands the death penalty. Moses wrote of it repeatedly. Paul said it is deserving. Jesus affirmed it is carried out by man under God’s authority.

We believe superintelligence will create significant new opportunities for all people and businesses. Meta already serves billions of people at scale and helps hundreds of millions of businesses reach customers. Today we are starting the next major pillar of our business, Meta Enterprise Platform, to help businesses use AI to grow and transform in new ways as well.

So the internet has the thing called algorithms…. The only way that aave would become apart of the way you speak would be if you CONSTANTLY consuming black American media (which you shouldn’t be to begin with)

Listening to this whole interview and these comments in context you see he is actually making a pretty nuanced point. You can criticize him all u want but taking clips out of context to manufacture outrage is so lame— critique what he actually said!

Well, this is sad and terrible: “Many experts believe that estrangements between adult children and their parents are becoming an epidemic in the U.S.” “Psychologists say young adults’ definition of harmful parental behavior is changing.” They “consider ordinary conflict to be much worse than it once was” and “have a much broader definition than their elders of psychological harm.” “Many now view repeated criticism, strong disagreements and other painful relationship conflicts as abusive.” “In their minds, they see themselves as more enlightened and therefore more justified to cut off for more reasons.”

This seems like a reasonable idea with precedent from Obama’s education department. The government shouldn’t be in the business of encouraging people to take loans they won’t be able to repay.

Biden used leverage to prevent broader ME war, as well as to promote human welfare w/in a warzone. Not only does he not get enough credit for this, he has been slandered as pro-"genocide." There are plenty of possible critiques, but the overall narrative is a crime against truth.

DEFEATING TRUMPISM IS NOT ENOUGH: DEMOCRATS MUST DELIVER FOR WORKING FAMILIES Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in American history and Democrats must do everything possible to roll back his disastrous policies. But running against Trump is not enough. The American people are hurting and they want to see a pro-working class agenda that will provide meaningful improvements to their lives. Democrats must have the courage to take on Oligarchy, corporate greed and a corrupt campaign finance system. No more incrementalism, no more same-old, same-old failed establishment policies that simply make the rich even richer. Democrats must restore faith in democracy and the belief that government can work for working families and not just the billionaire class. Our job is to expand our progressive grassroots movement so that when Democrats regain power they must: ✅ Pass Medicare for All and guarantee health care to every person in our country as a human right. ✅ Increase the minimum wage to $20 an hour and pass legislation making it easier for workers to join unions. ✅ Raise taxes on the billionaire class and large profitable corporations. ✅ Lower housing costs by building 7 million units of low income and affordable housing. ✅ Provide free tuition at public colleges and universities. ✅ Get billionaire funded super PACs out of elections. ✅ Create millions of jobs by moving our energy system away from fossil fuels to energy efficiency and sustainable energy. ✅ Protect the American people from the existential and economic threats of AI. ✅ Cut military spending, end “endless wars,” and stop all U.S. military aid to Israel.
