For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Classical music on the bus this morning. Very soothing. 😊🤞🦋

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

Woodstock, GA. This weekend!

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handle—so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?

The waves crash with timeless rhythm along the rugged coast of Inis Meáin, #Ireland. Part of the Aran #Islands, Inis Meáin is known for its wild Atlantic beauty, traditional stone walls, and deep connection to #Irish heritage. [Damien Marshall]

For the handful of us who still view the Constitution as a governing document

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

I would post and repost this a thousand times if it would help. This man's plight is the symbol of the disgusting hateful depths these people will go to.

I really do think we’re well beyond this point. If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

TRUTH…

DOGE claims to have found billions of dollars in fraud yet not one criminal charge has been filed against anyone, just mass firings of federal employees. Which means they’ve been wasting millions of dollars finding absolutely nothing on purpose. The fraud is DOGE.

Who’s tired of brainwashed morons ruining our country? ✋🏻

The Social Security Administration is ending most phone service for those applying for benefits or changing banking information. This is how they are getting rid of our Social Security after decades of paying into it. They’re stealing our money. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

Pete is right, as usual. These people cannot keep America safe. I’m embarrassed to be an American now more than ever. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

MAGA! BRACE, BRACE, BRACE! Self inflicted pain and losses coming your way. Still sleeping? All y’all are the weakest link in our chain, and you just might have broken it! Never forgiving y’all. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory
