The problem was BIDEN.. It was BIDEN that appointed GARLAND and left him there an entire term. It was BIDEN'S job to neutralize the orange nazi and his fascist movement. He failed miserably.

It’s time for a new progressive worker’s party.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

it's not hyperbolic to say we're witnessing a coup.

The party that tells young people not to bother with college, bans books, and wants to disband the Department of Eduction is currently annoyed that American workers aren't educated enough for skilled jobs.

A sad end for the Journal of Human Evolution A joint statement announces the resignation of the entire editorial board, while disclosing for the first time the use of AI in article production.

We lost ground—not just w/young Black men, but w/men of all backgrounds. Let’s figure out how to make gains.

The party has a listening problem. Showing up 2 weeks before an election won’t cut it. Engagement needs to be year-round, local, focused on real issues.

Trump suggests he wants to buy Greenland The U.S. "feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity," Trump said.

This crazy MOFO has been discussing invading Mexico, Annexing Canada, taking back the Panama Canal & now he says he wants Greenland!

He's deranged & dangerous!
Stark raving mad!

Please explain why the press isn't covering the question of his mental unfitness non-stop.

Far-right activists from Germany spent US election day at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago AfD parliamentary candidate and influencers posed for photos with now president-elect at his Florida home

Trump had AfD at Mar-a-lago election night and they are invited to the inauguration. I feel like people are ignoring history.

THIS IS NUTS!

Trump thinks he can just invade foreign countries? Mexico, Canada, Panama (canal), and now Greenland.

I’m convinced Trump wants to follow the Putin-Ukraine model.

REMEMBER THIS: Republicans in Congress, including conspiracy screamers calling Dems ‘pedos,’ knew what Matt Gaetz was doing with underage girls and said nothing!

Trump’s win seals the oligarchy takeover.

The plan to turn America over to the richest men and the biggest corporations—a plan to replace democracy with oligarchy. We must fight back.

Institutional Resistance Is Futile It’s time for the Democratic Party to abandon its staid, rules-based resistance to Trumpism and wage a fierce, moral response.

Democrats cannot simply respond institutionally to Trump. We need Extra-judicial, anti-institutional responses to meet the morality of the moment.

Trump's Iowa lawyer has an immaculate Google review record.

In Texas, religious freedom and parental rights are only for Christians How else do you explain people who say they oppose “indoctrination” in public schools, but want to turn elementary school classrooms into Sunday Schools?

Public officials who claim to oppose "indoctrination" in public schools are in fact trying to use even elementary schools for religious indoctrination. This op ed by @peoplefor.bsky.social president @svantemyrick.bsky.social focuses on a new Texas curriculum thehill.com/opinion/educ...

Canada's finance minister quits over Trump tariff dispute with Trudeau Chrystia Freeland says Canada faces a "grave challenge" from incoming US President Donald Trump's tariff threats.

#WolffBites: Foreign capitalists and their governments, for example in Canada, are fighting over Trump's threat to hurt their interests by "putting America First." Another step in global capitalism's implosion?

Trump Is Already Walking Back His Campaign Promises From lowering prices to disavowing Project 2025 to vaccine policy, Trump’s promises are looking hollow

According to PolitiFact, Trump kept only 23% of his campaign promises during his first term. Now, with weeks to go before starting his second, he’s already walking back some of his biggest 2024 pledges. Team Big Picture breaks down these reversals in their latest piece.

When they say taxpayers, they mean very rich taxpayers who fund them and the lobbyists and think tanks.

Oversight leadership is not a position for a centrist, and definitely not a position for a centrist with serious health issues. Congress needs a radical, a real fighter in that position to root out corruption in the House and keep the members concerned that they might be singled out next.
