Democracy in action at the South Carolina State House in Columbia! #NoKingsDay

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Friday's NY Post cover doesn't disappoint:

MORALLY BANKRUPT

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite. My full interview here:

The Trump fever is breaking. Voters who once backed him are waking up to economic chaos, broken promises, and buyer’s remorse. Is this the beginning of the end? Read more adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

2025 - the year that this gif is the most popular - regardless of the weather.

#GVerse This👇 Is spot on!

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

Trump promised to be a dictator on day one. Anybody still think he was joking?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Good advice ⬇️

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Agree 💯

What exactly does it say about a political party which will not speak out against the absolution of the men and women who only a few short years ago, tried to kill them where they sit at the behest of the madman they now serve?

Canada has prepared a retaliatory strategy that hits Trump and his allies where it hurts the most: their political base. www.newsletter.samuel-warde.com/p/canadas-re...

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” - George Orwell, 1984

He didn’t put his hand on the Bible when swearing in. Probably because that would set it on fire.

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration? 👀 👎

“At a time when our politics is poisoned by cruelty, hate and malignant narcissism—and where too many self-described Christians appear driven by grievance and self-righteous aggression—the good works of Jimmy Carter offer a necessary reminder…of humanity.” www.americaamerica.news/p/jimmy-cart...

Jimmy Carter was a national treasure. RIP. #RIPPresidentCarter

My favorite thing about the Matt Gaetz thing: He quit his damn job to stop the report from being released. He then withdrew his name from consideration for his only other job offer to stop the report from being released. And then the report was released anyway. What an idiot.

Oh the shade!

Give VP Trump credit. When President Musk barks an order, he jumps to attention!

Nobody elected Elon Musk.

Ouch. #presidentmusk

Sound about right.

The way the situation is developing we will have a government of the idiots, by the idiots, and for a few "smart" billionaires... 🤷

First of all, @petebuttigieg said, “We cannot be mesmerized by the worst things that we see happening. We will be inclined to react with shock by some things that are done precisely with the intent of shocking us, we need to move very quickly through the shock.” www.rawstory.com/pete-buttigi...

The same Trump voters who will tell you this election was about “freedom” just handed unprecedented control over our finances, our food, our medicine, our families, our health, our information, our military, our environment, our schools and our bodies, to a handful of billionaires.

It has always been a winning bet to predict Donald Trump will be even worse than you imagined was possible.
