Just cuz we are now embroiled in an illegal war, it doesn’t mean trump was not epstein’s bestie.

Is every single ICE agent a white dude?

#NoKings #nyc

Is "federalizing" a state's National Guard (militia) against the will of that state's governor a violation of the 2nd amendment?

I’m old enough to remember when as an American, it wasn’t controversial to be anti-fascist. It was in fact the default standard.

For the record a senile Joe Biden clonebot would still be a FAR superior president.

How is it that so many people do not understand the direct pipeline of scientific research at universities to corporate profits? Aren’t yall like super into making as much money as possible while spending as little as posssible to do so?

Wow NBA, ya sure do seem to love Texas.

Ok cool one down, now do Hegseth.

As a matter of perspective, I believe this is the first time since Jonestown that a member of congress had to perform an international well check.

So what would the USA look like if we simultaneously increase manufacturing and dismantle unions?

As a Software Developer what I’d like to know is: if American companies will now have to pay American wages to widget makers, what’s to stop them from making up the difference by outsourcing tech jobs to places like India where they pay far less?

@maddow.msnbc.com thanks as always for speaking the hard truth and even giving us a good chuckle from time to time! #machowaddler

Losing thousands from retirement accounts overnight while the looming destruction of Social Security hangs over our heads doesn’t seem like it’s making America great for very many people.

If you where waiting for that “red alert” moment (Chuck Schumer) to start believing that we are indeed squarely in the middle of a Constitutional crisis, I offer this: www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The bad part is NOT that a reporter was accidentally added to the chat. That part IS that super top secret shit was shared on a messaging app.

So while foreign governments don’t pay the tariffs (cuz that’s not how it works) how much money is the US tourism industry losing daily?

-49.68% over 3 months. 😃

Brits: we’re gonna make the biggest own-goal in the history of the world with BREXIT! Americans: HOLD OUR BEERS!!!

The sooner the American people fully accept that we are under attack by a hostile government, the better off we will all be in the long run.

@schumer.senate.gov why? Why hand more power to the fascists??!!

Are we great again? I’m gonna be honest, this doesn’t feel like greatness.

Do you guys think trump will give his Vladdy Alaska for Father’s Day this year?

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Sadly spot-on

Never once during my childhood in the 80s did I think that maybe in the year 2025 my teenage son would be singing Cyndi Lauper songs in the shower. Yet, here we are.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

I wish I could see the congressional and media reactions from the mirror universe where the foreign billionaire ransacking our government agencies was George Soros.

@johnfetterman.com come on man Hegseth is a ridiculous appointment and your support of it is sad and misguided.

So the guy (immigrant) who makes more money from taxpayers than any person ever has & bought the presidency & is now in charge of gov spending is also an out nazi. Again great job ‘merica.

The People must be allowed to read Jack Smith’s report!

🚨🚨🚨🚨HOMEWORK🚨🚨🚨🚨 I think the Jack Smith draft report is finished. Write to Merrick Garland and ask him to release the Jack Smith report. You can do it here. Select “Messages to the Attorney General” from the drop down menu www.justice.gov/doj/webform/...

So Canada should be the 51st state, Panama needs to give up the canal and Greenland will be annexed? Fuck that shit all the way to Hell.

Government regulations exist for a singular purpose: protecting everyday Americans from the worst impulses off the richest Americans. Full Stop.

My Oregon Ducks are conference champs of the…….checks notes…….Big10!

How did we allow this country to get to a place where ONE PERSON can put $250,000,000 into a political campaign? OVERTURN CITIZENS UNITED! Tell the oligarchs to fuck off.

So according to MAHA we need more regulation on food, like the have in Europe (I know right?!), but way less access to and regulation on healthcare. Hmmm….

I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but I REALLY feel like the reality of ‘mass deportations’ is gonna be way different than what the average tRump voter thinks.

Musk planting the seeds for a potential takeover of MSNBC terrifies me as much as anything that has happened thus far.
