Yes the 'moderate' Democrats financed by the same system as Trump are corrupt. The Progressives are not! They actually refuse big money from corrupt sources and this is going to be big in the midterms. Unfortunately they have to fight the corrupt Democrats as well as Republicans but this time they will win because the American people have had enough. Support progress, vote progressive.

Two quick notes:

1) The Democrats are anything but corruption-free, which is a major reason why they’ve been no foil to Trump etal’s. That includes both personal and playing a part in or quietly supporting Trump‘s, all too often working for the same donors. So your friend was right, and when any Democrat talks a different game you have to ask whether they are just talking.

2) (this one gets repeated) The war in Ukraine was not started by the Russians in February 2022 - it began in 2014 after the CIA-led coup. The Russians entered into an ongoing Civil War on behalf of one side in that Civil War. Why are you repeating propaganda?

There are far better sources out there. In fact, Hillary Clinton once admitted to it. Besides, how does the question of how it started affect the fact that it started in 2014, not 2022?

Please, no more comments from propaganda suckers.

I feel like that is a rhetorical question? It seems every single day there is some corruption and some days multiple corruptions that would end a presidency prior to 2016…

It’s rare Democrats ever speak out. Why? Because they are fine with most of the corruption, wars , Genocide, ICE, racism etc. Americans need to move to a more progressive government. Stop voting in these losers and accepting best of the worst mentality.

That’s my mayor! Mamdani is uniquely talented —and also has a sense of humor.

There are many Mamdani s and AOC s out there . We need to support them and rebuild Dem politics from the ground up

Gottheimer is not a spokesperson for the Democratic party. He has an opinion, not authority. He see's the writing on HIS wall, buh bye.

By getting rid of dark money. It’s ruining our country.

Thank you for the article, dark money is everywhere and this administration is corrupt. It’s my hope congress passes and codifies dark money legislation.

The corruption is so blatant it barely needs an investigation, just a family tree and a highlighter. Fathers set policy, sons cash in, taxpayers fund the deal, and everyone involved acts shocked that the peasants can still read flowcharts. This is not “the swamp.” This is the swamp getting condos, a crypto wallet, mineral rights, and a Cabinet post. If Democrats cannot make this scandal plain to voters, they should be legally barred from using the word “messaging” ever again.

“Why are we doing more things to undermine our confidence in elections, rather than getting the strong message out that will win for Republicans this year?”

Probably because no such message exists, Thom.

Big Brother Cheeto Is Watching Over You

Cheeto and his Nazi Republican allies are working hard at gathering data against American citizens. The dictator has been assured by his fascist buddies Musk and Theil that one of the ways to control elections is to create as many digital footprints as possible from government agencies as reported yesterday at the Guardian. Of course this is against all privacy laws but Cheeto needs to cheat in every way possible to win. In the 21st century digital manipulation of voting machines and tabulation, state attorney generals need to preemptively be addressing this interference by cyber forensic audits that investigate tampering before and after tabulation. Not all precincts will need to be audited in such a way but spot checks should be available and where there is a question perform a forensic audit where necessary.

If you’re unfortunate to live in a red state that has turned over your registered voter data information, you should be worried about a Nazi Republican vigilante challenge of your upcoming ballot in November. Voters in these situations need to vote early so that if there is a challenge, you have time to cure your ballot. Best not to connect with the federal government unless absolutely have to.

There are multiple attacks on free and fair elections by the Nazi Republicans. WE have seen the attempts at the judicial level as well as SCOTUS which allowed for aggressive gerrymandering ploys. The SAVE Act threatens voter registration data as the bill states that if the rolls are not turned over, federal funding for states refusing to do so would have their funding limited or stopped. With Pulte heading up ODNI, there is another avenue of attack. But the digital manipulation of voting machines themselves is right up the tech alley of Musk and Theil and adds another layer of election interference and WE must be prepared for this tech onslaught. Reach out to your attorney general and ask about cyber forensic audits for upcoming elections.

Love FOX was deperately trying to find people celebrating on the National Mall. The Trump family corruption might just be penetrating the MAGA brain and also make clear how taxpayer money is spent on Trump's hairbrained schemes and an illegal war.
