I'm from NC and this infuriates me. We don't want Trump deciding who we get to run for office

It’s 2AM on a Sunday and I’m heading to the Capitol to FORCE a full reading of the Republicans’ 940-page bill. This bill will rip health care coverage away from 16 million people and cut food assistance. It’s sick. And we will not stand for it.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Hmmmmm…. Thoughts?

Donald Trump bombed Iran tonight, not because they are about to have nuclear weapons (they are not), but because he needed a distraction from his tanking poll numbers and his deeply unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill." He doesn't care who gets killed, Iranians or Americans, to help HIM.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

Q: What advice are you giving Donald Trump? JD Vance: “The advice I'm giving him is: Sir, trust your instincts. He's got the best instincts of any president I've ever seen, of any political leader I've ever seen.” Definitely not a cult.

"We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into." -- Donald Trump inaugural address, Jan. 20, 2025 The biggest lie ever from the biggest liar in American history

This is freaking weird. Trump just posted a text message he received from Mike Huckabee, his ambassador to Israel, urging him to attack Iran: “I don’t reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven, and that voice is far more important than mine.”

We are witnessing an epidemic of the abuse of the power of the federal government, including the criminal system, to target and intimidate Democrats and their supporters. Trump will escalate this until people stand up to him. It is time we all have the courage to peacefully stand up and say enough!

Was consumed all day at work by the fact that trump tweeted "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" at Iran, which from any normal president would be hugely consequential and it wasn't even a story because the media has just sort of deformed itself into nihilistic acceptance of the fact that he's insane

Indeed. He never has a strategy. He’s incapable of thinking strategically. He’s a malevolent, mendacious, and moronic ordure of narcissistic whim, impulse, and caprice.

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

The more unpopular and thwarted Trump becomes at home (polling, Congress, the courts), the more he'll look for ways to act as an unstoppable strongman. Stuff like ICE raids, pardons, but No. 1 is his ability to start a war I always feared this moment would come, but it's sooner than I thought
