Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

“That’s the life I want everybody to be able to live, and I think we can deliver that."

Everyone’s gonna be wide awake at his funeral. If only because they’ll play Kool & The Gang’s “Celebration” at full volume.

“Pro-life”

“It's not a partisan issue. It’s not an ideological issue. So who voted for this? I personally don't remember Donald Trump's campaign promise to cut breast cancer research and to make menopause harder for American women,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

We must make our stand here.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!

Today, we showed up on the Social Security Day of Action to say Hands Off! to Trump, Musk, and Republicans’ attacks on Social Security. 💪

*Americans must be freed from the co-conspirator GOP. A path to world peace:

Ah yes, righty tighty, lefty loosey; this completes my training for the booming new economy. Howard Lutnick insisted on Face the Nation that Trump’s tariffs will result in things like “the army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones” coming to the US.

Bondi on Boasberg: "Those inmates, those violent gang members, those violent alien enemies will remain in El Salvador. He cannot get them back, so his jurisdiction is over ... going forward, these terrorists better look out."

I bears repeating that the reprehensible Pam Bondi is just making up lies about the innocent people she is condemning to a life of torture. Most of them did not commit *any* crimes--unlike Pam Bondi, who took a bribe as a public official. She is downright evil.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

The progression is an inevitable beclowning.

💙 DC never disappoints. #handsoff

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Judge Susan Crawford preserved liberals’ narrow majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court Tuesday by defeating conservative Brad Schimel, but in a way the real loser of the election was billionaire Elon Musk.

I’ve been in or around public service for almost 50 years now. I’ve never seen anywhere close to the level of incompetence that this administration displayed with "Signalgate." Full episode: youtu.be/Eqlwr9b5HqM

🔥Rufus Gifford, former U.S. amb. to Denmark, unloaded on JD Vance for saying Denmark “is not a good ally”: Go to Denmark and say it to the faces of the parents of the young men and women who lost their lives alongside U.S. troops. Say it to them!

Don't y'all hate it when random journalists get 'sucked' into your contacts, and then you accidently add them to the group, and no one notices? Awkward. I mean, who among us?

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Make this go viral! Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.

Yes, but that warning was only meant for the little people. www.cbsnews.com/news/nsa-sig...

This is a critical point everybody in the media should be amplifying:

“You guys have a group chat?”

Hey cis friends especially: Please consider commenting in favor of trans healthcare. I would much prefer to take hormones I get from a pharmacy rather than drink pregnant mare's urine. Thanks! 😊

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY 💯

"My cars are wildly unpopular right now! What is the one spokesperson I could pick to make them look even less cool?"

Don't worry, I'm sure all those conservatives will make up for lost EV sales among liberals.

WOW! AOC and Bernie Sanders just held the Biggest political event in Denver since Obama 2008.

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
