    >Iran is empowered and, because a school was hit, has an argument that it is entitled to reparations.

    I agree, but more likely general reparations will take the form of "tolls" for passage of the Straight of Hormuz, yes?

    >The political situation is lose-lose as well.

    >If Congress steps in, the war can be framed as "thwarted success." Trump. blames Congress for not letting him finish and “win.”

    >If Congress ties Trump’s hands, it owns the resulting mess.

    >If Congress refuses to step in, the war continues and the power of the Executive Branch continues to expand at the expense of the Legislative Branch.

    Not sure I'd call this "lose-lose". The first two items are matters of "perception" only. This would be a major "stand up to #Trump moment", at least for #Dems. The perception of Dems as a party is already way down. It could help IMO.

    Second, a more obvious issue is hinted in your third point. We have a #Constitution & #Laws for a reason. While there is some ambiguity, there is actually a Right Way to do things in the US most of the time. Shutting down an illegal #war is the right thing to do. It will save both $$ and lives in the long run. If this is perceived as "losing" then so be it!

    This is any legislature stuff.

    Even Cities might have jurisdiction -get it done fast everywhere.

    Tax WEALTH. TAX billionaires, Biden wanted a 25% of billionaire wealth.

    It could be bigger, but I'm ok with 25% of billions aire wealth over say 1billion

    Corporate law is state law.

    So no.

    Its a great article, and for people making policy, defending rights, fighting corporations, it is a VITAL resource.

    VITAL - Americas founding heroes fought hard to PREVENT Corporations. For exactly the reasons we suffer today.

    I urge anyone interested in democracy, rights, workers and or a functioning economy to read it.

    But Hawaii just stabbed it in the neck.

    Wooo-Hoooo!

    Boom! Mic drop heard from the middle of the pacific to the Atlantic coast.

    Hawaii strips corporations of Citizens United overreach that destroys democracy.

    Law of the land.

    Hats off for Hawaii!

  7. Once Bernie Sander's most radical election promise, rejecting corporate money, is embraced by Democrats.

    "More than 200 candidates have signed on to a pledge to reject corporate PAC money, ban congressional stock trading and crack down on campaign finance."

    – a display of how broadly the party is embracing anti-corruption messaging ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

  8. The #GOP just does not get it... letting Trump get away with abusing the powers of the executive office will set a precedent for the #DEMS to do the same thing...

    Would they want a Democrat TRUMP?!

  9. @flexghost

    Another impeachment is your thing?

    Can you say why?

    Trump has been impeached twice by the House already, and the Senate hasn't changed.

    The Senate hasn't changed. Another impeachment is POINTLESS if rhe Senate is the same.

    Why would it make you angry!
    Why swear?

    Change the Senate. If you can change rhe Senate you can change rhe President.

    The House alone can't change rhe President. But it can change other things.

    The House should change what it CAN CHANGE.

  10. As well as spending millions of dollars to defeat progressive candidates, and spinning off a spiderweb of sub pacs, #AIPAC has gone full scorched earth to elect republicans in midterms by talking about how Dems take money from aipac.

    Easy problem to solve y’all. Don’t take money from foreign terrorists, it’s not hard. If you have taken their money, be public about giving it back and why. Other countries are not supposed to be allowed to meddle in our elections. Why is it ok when it’s #Israel?

    This is why the #Dems are always at risk of losing to the #Repubs.

    The Repubs represent the worse in politics but they stand untied against all comers while they watch as the Dems just tear each other apart. 🤷‍♂️

  12. YES VIRGINIA, there is a Santa clause.
    If you screw with voters we'll fight back.

    "Virginia voters OK a Democratic effort to redraw the state's congressional map"

    "...is the latest development in an ongoing redistricting battle set off by President Trump last year. Trump asked lawmakers in Texas to create five more seats that favor Republicans in the state."

    Can billionaires stop trying to pretend to be dems by buying support, flooding social media, and pouring pamphlets in the dozens across the state?

    Billionaires fuck off.
    Steyer fuck off.

    Stop billionaire takeover of democatic party. Use your vote and voice: stop Billionaires, stop Steyer.

  14. Somebody ask these questions better than me: If Megan Kelly and Tucker Carson right wingers are "sorry they supported Trump" will they now be supporting voting rights and oppose GOP subversive efforts to keep the dictator in power?

    The best part of voting is "throw rhe bastards out" - but GOPedo is doing its best to make the dictator permanent.

    Will the "my Trump support was a mistake" weeping rightists now fight for voting, democracy?

    Thank you President Epstein for being so wrong about everything that the drive to sanity becomes obvious and robust.

    Trump's Iran war deception has triggered an avalanch of EV sales in Europe.

    "Europe’s EV sales surge just hit 51% – and oil is the reason why"

    Massive increase in EV sales of 51% in March. 225,000 new electric cars!

    Trump has triggered the end stage of oil.

    I dont think we understand the crying need for mere competence. Blah blah play bullshit fuckup fail and stumble while blathering stupidly is GETTING OLD for so many.

    I think 90% of the fascination wirh brilliant Artemis mission was just the display of competence. "Well do this" and did, while explaining, while showing, while doing, while speaking.

    Competency Porn.

    Don't underestimate the shock value of competency.

    As is so often the case.

    #Republicans (some #Dems too but far less often) don't ask questions when they hear something that appears to confirm what they already believe (or WANT to believe.)

    o "The election was stolen."
    o "Millions of illegal immigrants are receiving free health care."
    o "California is paying for 'illegals' to get 'boob jobs'." (yes, that one is real. I heard it Friday.)

    #DonnieDumbass claiming "The #StraitOfHormuz is open" Friday was pure Market Manipulation.

  19. Dina Doll & Sara Deen, both California Democrats, are sick and tired of an establishment class that protects perverts, supports broligarchs, and refuses to listen to the majority that demands change.

    Crypto, AI and SuperPAC money is not getting behind former AOC Chief of Staff Chakrabarti, who is running for retiring Nancy Pelosi's seat.

    In fact, big money is trying to stop him.

    "We don’t have a Democratic Party that fights,” Chakrabarti said, “and yes, I’m running to change the Democratic Party and that’s going to ruffle some feathers."

    "So if you want someone ... to get along, to go along, then I’m not your guy."

  21. Sure, #Democrats can be shamed into resignation, but is the #DNC or California #Democrat party going to do anything about investigating themselves and the many coverups here? There are many reports of this going on for many years. How are #Dems the party to succeed #Republicans in leadership? Other than the swamp $#!+ on your socks is a little less wet? That is all you got? In the meantime, is your 2026 slogan still "Affordability"? Can Dems look around a little?

  25. #StockMarket . . .

    #Drumpf & the #Republicans & their #MAGA supporters own the drop in the stock markets & the rise in oil prices, interest rates & inflation.

    Hopefully, these FACTS will be reflected in the results of the mid-term elections to throw out the #GOP bums & give the #Dems control of both the #House & #Senate again so that they can right the ship.

    In the meantime, my investment in #SPYI is back to even after being up over 10% which means the stock markets have dropped 10% & in are in a "correction" mode based on #Drumpf's shortsightedness & not based on economic reasons alone, not that there weren't any reasons for the markets to drop apart from that.

    In any event, I'm only 66% invested in the stock market & have a lot of $ on the sidelines to take advantage of further drops in the market.

    Not hoping for further drops but given Drumpf's lack of military & financial sense, I would not be surprised if the market drops another 10-15%. now that Drumpf has discovered that #Iran cannot be bullied.

    Iran War splitting maga.

    All searches show Iran War most opposed in history. Historically unpopular at its beginnings, growing MUCH more unpopular with each day.

    Trump is beginning to blame Hesgeth for suggesting the war.

  34. How do you turn 100,000 #Democrats into #Independents ? Just support using legislation to bake age verification into operating systems like #Linux . We don’t like to think #Dems can be tech illiterates like those *other people* , let alone those residing in major global tech centers. Operating systems and apps are the same thing, no ? Well there ya go. There’s more than one way to stop the voting
