"I didn't know he would do this." Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad. Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.

Russia was planning operation Zeus to murder thousands of civilians across Ukraine on the night of June 1 to get an upper hand with negotiations in Istanbul, that was until Ukraine’s operation web declawed them and destroyed nearly half their strategic bombers. Russia aborted the mission.

Not caring about what happens to people with the justification “we’re all going to die,” is a manifestation of the malignant normality a malignant narcissist leader wreaks on a populace. It’s the epitome of the nihilistic and sadistic destruction malignant narcissists feed off.

My shocked face 😑 www.reuters.com/world/us/fem...

I spoke about the Missouri GOP overturning our will on abortion and earned sick time and a higher minimum wage and when I tell you the rage that seethed in that room at the mention of those things…it was palpable. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.

How do you know #MAGAMurderBudget is not merely the most apt but most strategic label? MAGA knows making this debate life and death is the killer (pun intended) blow to this evil bill: www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Why aren’t Dems on everything talking about the Joni Ernst “you can die” bill?

Ukraine did something that the US and Europe failed to do for nearly half a century, it crippled Russia’s ability to launch nuclear weapons and long range strikes. At least one arm of Russia’s nuclear trident was destroyed. Ukraine did that, on its own, successfully. Have you said thank you yet?

SERIOUS QUESTION: What is going on with all these “officers” in tactical gear for a routine traffic stop—with no clear identification? They seem like imposters. And what’s up with that ball cap?

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.

When you don’t understand how anything works then everything is a conspiracy

Yes, the complaining parents here are nuts, but — as always — it’s the complicit administrators who amplify the crazy, allow it to poison the school environment, and do the real damage.

Our seventh balanced budget was focused from start to finish on Illinoisans. It not only advances our state's growing record of fiscal responsibility but also continues our investments in education, health care, public safety, and jobs. I'm proud to say we delivered for them.

GOP to America: Stop clinging to your healthcare and retirement. We are all going to die sometime. We’re just gonna make sure it happens sooner, and from a homeless shelter.

We have hope. Rebellions are built on hope.

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

Gotta love SJP, using an interview for “And Just Lije That” to advocate for libraries: “Many people in this country, including me, were raised in libraries, and they’re not just buildings with shelves, they are sanctuaries of possibility.” @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social

THIS IS HUGE! TWO Phase I HIV vaccine clinical trials have demonstrated that a stepwise mRNA-based vaccination strategy can SUCCESSFULLY activate AND advance immune responses toward producing broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs), a CRITICAL milestone in HIV prevention. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

The story of Alma Bowman, a disabled woman and US citizen detained by ICE, keeps getting worse She’s been in the country for 50 years. They took her wheelchair, denied her medications & threw her in a detention facility in Georgia Did you know she was a whistle blower against forced sterilization?

Finally got a chalkboard for the campaign office! Whenever we're open, feel free to come by 7016 N Clark St to ask a question, hang out, and grab what you need from our donation shelves.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.

This, and endless other reasons, are why #MAGAMurderBudget is not merely strategic in cutting straight to what's at stake, it's also the most accurate descriptor.

Gotta meet him with some resistance. 😉 Despite RFK Jr.’s claims, the CDC did not remove COVID vaccines from the childhood immunization schedule.

#MAGAMurderBudget is too measured. It's the ethos of the whole regime.

Republicans' new pitch for Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Ok, if you won't call it the "MAGA Murder Budget," how about going with Ernst's name, "The We're All Going to Die Budget?"

If any pro-vaccine study did something like this, the anti-vax movement would broadcast it so loud and make it the centerpiece of a documentary. But, bc the anti-vax movement is fundamentally about eugenics and propaganda, they'll just hand-wave it away, play the victim, and move on.

If someone isn’t parking a TACO food truck outside the White House, what are we even doing with this stupid timeline!?

What is absolutely essential in bringing down a would be dictator is making it clear he is indeed vincible. Enter ridicule. Rinse, repeat.

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

Trump isn’t taking his losses well tonight. Instead of throwing ketchup, he started pardoning gang members, murderers, and convicted felons. Guess he didn’t want to taco ’bout it.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Oh look…a govt that cares about its people. We’ve already forgotten what that’s like.

If you want my vote, the answer to the question "Do you support the Immigrant Trust Act" is yes, not random word salad New Jersey should not be using our tax dollars to do the federal gov't job for them, especially when they aren't respecting due process. Have the courage to fight it in court.

🧵 RFKJ 🪱 is threatening to forbid government scientists from publishing in top journals—like NEJM, JAMA, and The Lancet—because he says they’re “corrupt.” Babes 💋 let’s unpack why that’s nonsense—and why it would seriously harm public health. 📰 www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

THANK YOU!!!

Hey, Democratic policy makers: most rural people aren’t farmers. We need policies to reflect that fact.
