You’re treating Netanyahu as a man of principle, Mr. President. He’s not, and you should know that by now. He holds onto power to stay out of jail. And he keeps the onslaught against the people of Gaza going in order to stay in power. That’s criminal and you mustn’t be complicit

Why does the media call Haley “moderate”? She is just as extreme as Trump in her policies & positions on voting rights, healthcare, labor rights, abortion, & living wages. A polite Southern smile doesn’t make extremism “moderate.”

We had 15 presidential debates in the last election, and not one time did they have a 30-minute conversation on how presidential candidates would address poverty and low wages. Poverty is the fourth leading cause of death in this country. It is a moral and political issue.

Today marks six years since the shooting at my high school in Parkland Florida. While the community and the families will never be the same- we can find some hope in the bipartisan action in Tallahassee following the shooting. As a result of the legislation passed- over 12,000

Guilty. Today, twelve ordinary American citizens found a former president guilty of dozens of felonies. Despite his efforts to distract, delay, and deny – justice arrived for Donald Trump all the same. And the rule of law prevailed.

Aaron Sorkin’s dumb suggestion (for the Democratic Party to nominate Mitt Romney) illustrates one of George Lakoff’s key points: Democrats often think “strategy” means adopting GOP positions (or, in this case, candidates). It’s a game in which the GOP wins even when it loses.

I’m nothing but proud today of my Pop, our President, Joe Biden, who has served our country with every bit of his soul and with unmatched distinction. Not only has he been—and will continue to be—the most effective president of our lifetime, but he has likely already cemented

President Biden’s unprecedented act of selfless patriotism demands that we, as Americans, honor his example and elect a president who calls on the best in each of us.
