We strongly advise the public not to do this, it’s unsafe. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted photos of himself and his grandkids swimming in Rock Creek, a Washington waterway so contaminated with sewage runoff that swimming has been banned citywide for over 50 years.

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Schumer is trying to justify his vote on Jake Tapper right now, saying if they had let the government shut down "they could fire half the workers in the federal government." WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW CHUCK

Only purposely ignorant individuals do not understand the difference between a defined benefit, retirement plan and an entitlement. MAGA and our current co-kings are using the term entitlement to falsely defend the actions they are taking!

Social Security is a defined benefit retirement account. If you do not understand the difference between that and an entitlement, you are being blindly, purposely ignorant!

Pro Tip: If the reason Democrats don’t want to storm out of the SOTU in protest is they’re worried about Republicans taking their seats, yell “shotgun!” on the way out.

Adam Schiff is bringing a California fire captain to the SOTU. Elissa Slotkin is bringing a marine veteran who was fired from the VA because of DOGE. Chuck Schumer is bringing cancer survivors who relied on Medicaid. Speaker Mike Johnson’s guest? Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh.

You really don’t have to watch the SOTU. Anything wild that happens will be available in clip form. The rest of it will be psychic self-harm

Watching Felon 47 at the SOTU gives him legitimacy, in the way him meeting with Jong-un did. I’m going to watch something more dignified; something like Faces of Death, Two Girls One Cup, or a cockroach wrestling match.

The Social Security angle: the IRS collects payroll taxes, too. You know, the $$$ that pays for the Social Security benefits you know & love. In fact, 3/4 taxpayers pay more in payroll taxes than income taxes. Obviously they’re trying to help rich tax cheats. But this hurts Social Security, too.

“A reduction in force of tens of thousands of employees would render the IRS dysfunctional.” Which, of course, is Trump and Musk’s goal. People of color make up 56% of the IRS workforce, and women represent 65%.

I guess most people don’t know that when the IRS cuts personnel for audits, they increase the audits on lower income returns cuz the rich people’s taxes are too hard to work with less personnel. But hey at least it’s something else to be wrong & angry about, right?

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.
