@EWErickson Kleptocracy means "rule by thieves". It is corrupt leaders using power to systematically embezzle, misappropriate, and exploit a nation's wealth/resources for their personal enrichment, often with complete impunity. The definition of Trump and GOP.
Mamdani is doing something Establishment and Corporate Democrats are groomed to never do.
He's flexing his power and not apologizing.
He is doing it on behalf of a majority that is sick and tired of the status quo.
They'll do everything to try and stop him
Every poll shows that from the most conservative Republicans to the most progressive Democrats, Americans want the Social Security shortfallsolved on the revenue side. Not with a single penny of benefit cuts.
@SenWhitehouse
Yet again Trump's moronic policies screwed over farmers and now he wants to take our money and give it to them as welfare. Maybe Trump should pay them himself out of his crypto company instead.

BREAKING: A federal judge has permanently blocked the Trump administration from enforcing an executive order signed last year that required proof of citizenship to register to vote and demanded mail-in ballots be received by Election Day. https://t.co/I78dhdVBvz
@harrisonjaime Voters are the Democratic Party. The citizens choose the Democratic Party. The candidates and elected officials are not the party, and don’t choose the party.
I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.
Georgia has had voter ID for 20 years and Trump still claims our election was stolen (only in 2020 though, apparently 2016 and 2024 were fine).
No point in negotiating with a bad faith actor.
Good to see this reversal of Secretary Hegseth's ill-fated policy:
"The Army, Navy and Air Force are once again requiring flu shots for basic trainees."
