Perfect.

Jake Tapper can take his book and shove it. The end.

Amen.

Good luck...

Imagine if Biden had said people would have to tighten their belts, do without, suffer through an austere Christmas while he golfed, hawked meme coins and bragged about lavishing the Oval Office in gaudy gold. They’d all be shitting wild kittens.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

Facilitators, all of them. How do they sleep at night?

Nothing like a collective effort to show how quickly the wheels can come off.

Don't let America's last words be "We didn't think it could happen here"

Trump has taken the most powerful country in the world, with the greatest alliances, and the strongest economy, and flushed it down the toilet based on his understanding of politics in 1984 and trade deficits. The greatest self shot to the nut sack in history

SCOTUS seems to think it's ok for the admin, without due process, to use a wartime law during a time when we are not at war, intended to target enemy aliens when in fact those targeted are not enemies. And the remedy for abuse of the law enables the govt to venue shop where challenges will be heard.

It’s important that people from all walks of life and background, and all rational political perspectives, show unity in support of democracy and the rule of law on April 5, somewhere near you. Show your love for your country and for what it should—must—stand for: handsoff2025.com/

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

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

I truly believe today is the lowest point in American history. And the terrifying thing is, I don't think we're going anywhere but down—unless We The People decide we will not.

The only comprehensible way to understand what’s happening is these miscreants are abusing their power to dismantle our democratic govt, destroy our democratic alliances to further enrich themselves and ally with dictatorships around the world. Pain, suffering, stability, security—they don’t care.

I’m happy for the Biden family. This has been a long and undeserved nightmare. May they find peace these holidays.

Trump has entered the “I am the state” phase of his presidency. There are no rules, no standards, no judgments that matter other than his and he will prove it by obliterating norm after norm.

Today, November 25th 2024 is the day we officially learned that justice in America, in fact, does NOT matter. #sad

I'm struggling to get particularly exercised about this because anyone who's paid any attention to politics over the last ten years knew that Trump was lying about not only Project 2025 but every single one of the hundreds of promises he made to voters The issue is that his voters don't read news
