Raise your hand if you’re not even a meteorologist and you still know there’s a hurricane season.

Just sent to my Democratic senators. Use as a script for your own calls (202/224-3121) or emails. I use @resist.bot.

Flood the line.

Public schools are not for religious indoctrination. Texas, we'll see you in court.

I'm so over this lying, puritanical pixie.

The Senate is returning to Washington with Trump’s massive tax and immigration package high on the agenda. Republicans are seeking to send the One Big 💩 Bill to Trump’s desk by July 4.

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

May Greta Thunberg be safe and successful in her mission to bring desperately needed food & meds to Gaza Greta for president of the Earth

If an unfriendly foreign power was attempting to dismantle American science we might well have viewed it as an act of war. As it stands, our government is doing this to us. We are, in effect, committing an act of unilateral intellectual and scientific disarmament. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is a reverse-Robin Hood nightmare. It steals from the poor to give to the rich. Here’s a survey of seven terrible tricks up the sleeves of the bill: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It's Monday. You might hate your job but at least you're not a Russian general about to explain to me how 1/3 of my strategic aviation got blown up in a morning by some cheap Alibaba drones.

Russell Vought, now a key figure in the DOGE, is openly challenging the constitutionality of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. He claims the executive branch has the authority to withhold funds even after Congress has appropriated them, essentially saying the president, not Congress,

Stop sugarcoating the unhinged actions of that immature, mentally unstable, reckless clown in the Oval Office.

Happy Pride Month to you too, Malcolm! God bless America! 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸

Happy Pride Month! Pride is a time to celebrate the contributions of the LGBTQ+ community to our society and to continue the ongoing struggle for equality and justice.

And everyone blames Dems for not getting their message out. When not a word of this will be mentioned in NYT or on NPR tomorrow a.m.

I hope Americans understand that there are tens of millions of Canadians like me who will never allow ourselves to be subjugated by the US in any way, shape, or form.

2 weeks from today!

She’s worse than useless. Showed no spine by confirming Hegseth. Iowa voters: Get her out!

New are signs up in my home state to encourage tourism...🤭😅🤣

So Do I! We All Should!!

It takes a potent brand of stupid to do your “I’m sorry I glibly told a constituent that they are going to die” video in a cemetery. And then mock that person before gratuitously proselytizing to the audience. Joni Ernst is a kook.

So Joni Ernst is an asshole too

Morning walk by the church. The rain let up long enough for a nice #Walkies #Spike #PuppyLove #Dogs #SaturdayVibes

What's in the Trump/GOP big, beautiful bill? -Tax cuts skewed to the rich -Medicaid & SNAP cuts -Ends IRS Direct File -New powers for Trump over the courts -Blocks state/local regulation against AI, including rent-gouging software like RealPage It's a big, ugly nightmare.

At her town hall, when the crowd says people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, Joni Ernst responds "well we all are going to die." Fun Fact: She is up for re-election and we WILL hold her accountable.

Getting rid of Blackburn and Tuberville would be awesome. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

I love baby carrots. So today Mom decided to surprise me with a big carrot as a #SnackMe treat. I was so excited! I didn't know carrots could be this big! I ate every inch of it #Spike #PuppyLove #DogsOfBluesky #Crunchy #saturdayfun

Hiding their faces, hiding their names by using pens to hold their pocket flaps up, hiding their names. ICE agents have “consciousness of guilt,” know they are committing crimes. They need to be unmasked, named, and charged #UnmaskICE

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

I prefer Senators who don’t tell people fearing losing their healthcare that they’re “going to die.”

Tim Walz takes a shot at Susan Collins: "She's always 'deeply concerned' about things. Well do something then, about being 'deeply concerned.'"

7th District Congressman Eric Burlison won’t bother to engage with his constituents, but I will. I drove fours hours for this meeting and it was standing room only in Joplin, Missouri. #LFG

This is fake, right?

Dear Members of the Press. P0TUS bragging that his tariffs are "already" bringing TRILLIONS of $$ into the US. Beyond the fact that it's not true, will you please ask him, "If that's so, then there's no need to even discuss cutting social services, medicine, education, air safety, etc etc. Right?"

The speed and totality with which white “Evangelical Christians” embraced immoral cruelty to other humans reminds me of ….. their fidelity to Slavery and Jim Crow. Same shit. Different hue. Evil bred in the bone.

Poverty? “Well, we all are going to die.” Kids without insulin? “Well, we all are going to die.” School shootings, poisoned water, hurricane devastation, a mother’s cancer, a family’s hunger? “Well, we all are going to die.” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

‼️‼️‼️‼️Where the hell are the Democratic leaders in response to Joni Ernst‼️‼️‼️‼️

Have they determined exactly how many people will need to die PER billionaire to fill their unfillable hole? 100K? More? #GOPGhouls #USAID #WeAllAreGoingToDie #JoniErnst #ProtectMedicaid #FascismSucks #RemoveTrump

Terrible when your first thought on waking up is: Can’t he just die already?

If nothing can be done in America to stop the US government from destroying America's leadership in science and technology then the EU and UK need to be pragmatic about seizing European strategic opportunities that emerge through American decline.
