Insulin Injections: $5 bucks? Asthma inhalers $3.00? Seems the whole world is mocking us and how much we spend on meds & products that they buy for a fraction of the cost. Seeing these prices is going to +revolutionize+ us. Share with your friends. The more we know the better!

Elon promised $2 trillion in cuts. He's $1.85 trillion short, and the $150 billion he is claiming is riddled with errors and double-counting. DOGE Math apparently means inflated numbers and empty promises.

Explain to me why encroaching on the second amendment is not allowed even when children’s lives are at stake but the first amendment is easily eroded when someone simply disagrees with our President.

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices. This a fire sale for the oligarchy. How do I know? They’ve already done it to rural America…

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

Signal for classified attack plans against Houthi rebels. Now, Gmail for “sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict.” Might as well shout it from the rooftops. The carelessness is staggering – and makes all of us less safe.

If your plan is to keep your head down and hope it goes away, I can show you all of human history why it won’t work. If it’s to capitulate and hope they ignore you, I can show you thousands of Trumpers who’ve already lost their jobs & savings. Fighting back isn’t an option. It’s the only option.

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

Pete Hegseth allegedly having a Russian email address is the least surprising thing I’ve read today.

The Repubs are going to throw Mike Waltz under the bus and get him to resign to try to save Hegseth. They're gonna act like the only mistake was adding the reporter to the chat. But none of those discussions should ever have been on signal, and doing so demonstrates trying to hide things.

I keep saying this but the reason members of congress want to stay in office until they die is they can't buy that kind of elder care anywhere else, even if they are rich

Remember all the tough talk about meritocracy? All bullshit to make discrimination sound like fair policy, and we knew it the moment it came out of Trump’s mouth.

1/ Why are Democrats scrambling to counter disinformation while Republicans act like it’s not real? Because the GOP doesn’t see disinfo as a threat. They see it as a strategy. They’re not just tolerating lies. They’re building their power on them. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Excellent 🧵 on the youth-driven protests against the lawlessness of Erdogan’s authoritarianism spreading across Turkey right now. Pay special attention to @paulosterlund.bsky.social’s final three tweets. Police crackdowns have been massive post-Gezi. But today’s young people are angrier & poorer.

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail. I choose the latter: www.justice.gov/file/494411/...

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

Part of this outrage is Democrats never sacrificed anyone for their epic failure in losing to Trump. No one was fired, no one was held accountable, no one resigned in disgrace. The focus on Schumer is pent up anger and resentment at a party that refuses to take responsibility for what they’ve done.

As a Senator, I serve a cause higher than what my constituents might "want," or the interests of the labor unions that support my party, or even the continued function of the republic itself. And that cause is uh... hmm this is embarrassing. Wow. I definitely had it written down. On a post-it. Haha.
