They've done more than that this month, but this is par for the course for Democrats, who always pretend to be just oh-so-powerless in the face of fascism, when in reality they are active participants.

My 80 year-old mom's Social Security payment was 1/3 of what it usually is, and the SSA tried to gaslight her about not updating her address or reporting my father's death when she had written down the call information and could repeat it to the SSA operator.

Now she has to get an in-person appointment, which could take weeks or months, in order to sort it all out. I have every expectation that it'll be blamed on a 'clerical error' or some shit and the whole point is to just steal a few months' worth of her money by making her jump through a hoop.

In the meantime, we all know where that money's going: to Donald and his bootlickers.

    Vicente Gonzalez

    Who represents part of the poor-as-fuck Rio Grande Valley. Texas is gerrymandered to hell, and that even means the democrats we get are conservatives.

    Which is also why you don't see centrists fighting gerrymandering of red states and why they gave up on gerrymandering Virginia. Centrists like republican districts because they align with centrists' vision of a fascist future with token minorities in the photos to make everything all right.

    Getting reeeaaal tired of seeing Washington state in all of these. She's showing her colors like Fetterman.

    This is the inevitable outcome of "vote blue no matter who". Every time Republicans need something, they magically get enough support from a rotating set of Dems. The DNC should be sued for racketeering.

    We are just returning to normal. The last 40 or so odd years were an anomaly in our 250 year span.

    Should we start sending food and medical aid to you across the ocean?

    Can you send bombs instead to a specific location? The aid can go to other places

    There was a bridge that needed to be rebuilt and the locality actually lobbied I think Russia to pay for it since the federal government wouldn't. It was funded shortly after that.

    Countries should absolute send aid if I only to embarrass us.

    Frankly, it's getting better, by getting worse. They are losing in court on literally everything. He lost so much this week, that they literally gave him a consolation win: they codified the name change to "The Department of War." That was his big win this week.

    There is strong feeling that the momentum is now with the Democrats, and they are slowly, but inexorably grinding way at MAGA. Approval rates are steadily declining, and are close to dropping below the 30 percent mark. MAGA politicians are starting to push back against Trump, some even losing their protected status. He will really bleed support after the bloodbath Midterms, as the survivors look forward to 2028. A LOT of them are not going to want to be remembered as MAGA traitors when the Dems fully take over in 2028, so they will be whistling a different tune after the Midterms.

    There is a definite feeling of a political shift in the country, and it's not just on the left. MAGA is in deep trouble, and they know it. They are fighting for their literal lives now, and they're going to get rough. But the rest of us know it, and we're ready. We aren't afraid of them, and we're looking forward to punishing them for their CRIMES.

    There will be a big change in America after the Midterms.

    And also 209 GOP, let's not forget about that.

    Vicente already won the primary for his seat, however the other three are up for reelection NEXT YEAR so we should be focused on replacing them as soon as the midterms end. Anybody capable of challenging them should already be applying.

    Somebody is going to say that they are in competitive seats, so they had to vote with MAGA, but that's for when you're going to win the vote anyway, so you let a few vote against it to save face - but you don't lose the vote.

    These are just four traitors who are too stupid to read their memos. The DNC is no longer in charge, we are. The Dems are where the Tea Party was in 2010 - we're taking over the party, and we don't care what the establishment Corporate Dems want. They are nearly as responsible for this mess as MAGA, and the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries is big part of the problem.

    I'm hearing calls for Schmuck's removal as Senate leader,but Jeffries has got his people praising his piss poor leadership. They're saying that he's been able to balance the growing progressive movement, but that's about to explode in the House after the Midterms. The Progressive wing will not only be larger than ever, they will be highly MOTIVATED to collect MAGA scalps, and Jeffries better cooperate, or he'll be gone, too.

    I'm not even for giving him a shot. He had his shot during the Biden administration, and he was more than willing to follow the Biden Administrations slow walk on punishing Trump. Just replace him with someone who is willing to fight for us.

    Having useless eaters consume fruits and vegetables is very elitist, and is just (repeat it with me, kids!) waste, fraud, and abuse. Also, it's DEI and woke.

    Their goal is to lower life expectancy to third world levels so people have more kids. It won't work. I'm expecting the 2030 census to have America's first population decline. Conservatives and Neo-Liberals will go into full panic mode and demand more women's rights to be taken away.
