It's ours! Not theirs to sell.😔😔😔😔😔 medium.com/the-american...

Really enjoying being governed by a magic 8 ball of stupid ideas

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Meanwhile, in Canada…

This is the best 100-day recap I’ve seen — and it begs the damn question: Why is his approval rating still 39%? Are folks in a coma?

Barry Blitt’s first 100 days cover for the New Yorker.

Every hour that Pete Hegseth remains in his role, America is less safe. Call your Representative now and tell them it’s time to #FireHegseth (202) 224-3121

worth every second

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Pete Hegseth is treating the Pentagon like it’s a Fox News set—ordering a makeup studio while leaking sensitive information in Signal chats. This is what happens when you put clout-chasers in charge of national security.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

A MORAL CRISIS ā€œThe rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.ā€ Take 3 minutes. This is important.

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? šŸ˜•šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Dementia doesn’t allow for changes in long held beliefs. America is being destroyed by a mind riddled by dementia and foul with malignant narcissism!!

Reminder: no matter how many times Republicans say otherwise, there is *no way* they can pay for their proposed tax cuts without gutting Medicaid and other programs that millions of people rely on. Don't believe their lies for a second.

Today's stock market crash was the worst since the Spring of 2020. Can you guess who was president during *both* crashes? I bet you can!

Bait and Switch.

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

The CDC has literally been gutted today. There’s no need for ā€œApril Foolsā€ when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet. Thousand of scientists fired. Entire departments erased. 1/

They are breaking Social Security, because they do not like Social Security.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

JUST IN: The FDA’s top vaccine official, Dr. Peter Marks, has been pushed out. In his resignation letter, he slams RFK Jr. for rejecting ā€œtruth and transparencyā€ and pushing ā€œmisinformation and lies.ā€ Marks warns of an ā€œunprecedented assault on scientific truth.ā€

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

What a deal!

āš”ļø WSJ: ā€œFDA’s top vaccine official has resigned… Dr. Marks writes about HHS Secretary RFK Jr. ā€˜It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary — he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.ā€ www.wsj.com/politics/top...

ā€œI knew one day I'd have to watch powerful men burn the world down - I just didn't expect them to be such losers.ā€ - Rebecca Shaw

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

y’all are wild

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.
