Funny. When Joe Biden proposed $400 billion in child care subsidies and universal pre-K, Republicans screamed “HANDOUTS” and “SOCIALISM.”

Now they’re leaking a half-baked rule two months before the midterms that takes money from the existing child care fund for working parents and hands $9K to married couples with a stay-at-home spouse.

Not new money. Not for single moms. Not for both parents working. Just a PR stunt they can run without Congress.

Pathetic.

Ohio has almost 0 regulations for homeschooling. It's so bad that there's a n@zi homeschool network operating out of Upper Sandusky that the state has no power to stop

Every time a Democrat starts to pull ahead in Texas, they rig the voting.

This has happened for a long time, across many different state and federal elections IMO.

How can anyone who is ex-military, regardless of party, condone this?

Dolly Parton defending the LGBTQ+ community from attacks 10 years ago:

I do not believe that we should criticize and judge other people. We’re all God’s children. We are who we are. I just think that we should be more loving, more caring, we are who we are. If you’re gay, you’re gay. If you’re straight, you’re straight and you should be allowed to be who you are.

Oh my God. They’ve hired a guy convicted of hacking into election websites to oversee election security?

The President of the United States said that de-transitioning surgeries are being done on his personal orders and no one has paused for a moment to wonder if any rational person would say something so completely and feverishly crazy - because it's just part of the new normal.

Utterly disgraceful. Why would anybody work with the US after this?

“Socialism is a scareword they have hurled at every advance the people have made… socialism is their name for most anything that helps the people.

1952. Truman. This is how stale their desperate fearmongering is.

This means it was entirely appropriate for Fauci to assert the 5th Am when he testified—because there was a threat of future prosecution & he had the right to avoid self-incrimination.

[Michael O’Brien @DrOBrienMD]

This is a lie. When a 34 week old fetus is removed from the womb and is a living, breathing, viable baby like this one, that is called preterm birth NOT an abortion, and would otherwise be infanticide which is still illegal in all 50 states.

I’m sick and tired of this.

Hunter Biden: “My dad in 1972 took a vow he would never own a stock or a bond and he kept that vow over 50 years of public life. He retired from the presidency as having probably the lowest net worth of anyone that ever entered the presidency. Meanwhile, he got tagged with this idea of the Biden Crime Family and all of that crap. Donald Trump is selling 100K early access to his Truth Social tweets which is just a front-running for insider trading in the open”

The maximum a person can donate to a federal candidate is $3500.

If you donated that max to every candidate on the 2026 ballot, you could only spend $1,662,500.

The top 50 mega-donors have already poured more than $1.3 billion into the 2026 midterms.

Overturn Citizens United.

Democrats should introduce national paid sick and parental leave and call it the MITCH Act. If you can be missing from your job for months as a U.S. Senator and still collect your full paycheck, working Americans should get the same deal.

Q: "Within 24 hours you got behind [El-Sayed's] campaign…Why would you do that?"

Haley Stevens: "That's called democracy, friend, right? You don't sign up for a Democratic Party to be salty grapes and just continue to hold a grudge. We have seen that play out. No shots here but we've seen that play out with out current president. Some might say Mr. Sanders pursued that approach as well when he didn't win a Democratic nomination."

Because he only cares about himself
