The mass resignation of 21 DOGE workers who refuse to help dismantle our country is the kind of thing that needs to happen every day in different ways to stymie the attempts by the MAGA party to destroy our economy and eat the spoils.

Whoever made this deserves a medal.

Watching Mike Johnson champion a bill that will cut $715 billion from Medicaid, $300 billion from SNAP and perhaps $500 billion from Medicare Lie about it-claiming the programs WOULDN'T be cut And argue the legislation is "moral" Is maybe the most perverse thing I've ever seen a politician do

Scott Pelley reminds us of Maya Angelou's words: You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise... Leaving behind nights of terror and fear, I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear, I rise,
I rise...

Remember how Trump convinced people he was a brilliant businessman? Now, he’s repackaged himself as some kind of “alpha leader.” But just like his businessman brand, Trump's strongman persona is crumbling right before our eyes as he struggles to hide his profound weakness as a leader.

Totally accurate!

Indeed. It is also a frontal assault on the Judicial Branch!

On Biden's "worst day", Biden was MUCH BETTER than Trump's "best day"! In this age of trump/GOP CABAL TOTAL CORRUPTION, we should not only consider Biden's actions but also consider the CRIME that Biden would never consider perpetrating! In contrast, Trump is a KNOWN CRIMINAL! #USDemocracy

Public pressure works! Keep it going.

Call your Senator and get this removed.

Aside from cutting health care for the elderly & poor, the Republican budget steers $160 BILLION to enrich private prisons + quadruple the size of Trump’s American Gestapo ICE — while making them immune from prosecution. TLDR: You are not alarmed enough. www.wola.org/analysis/160...

Every single House Democrat voted to protect the healthcare of the American people after back to back all night sessions. The battle is not over. We are just getting started.

The U.S. DNI is a disgrace. When our national intelligence apparatus seeks to rewrite assessments to align with political messaging, when we label predetermined outcomes as “common sense” that gets prioritized over real information we have, it makes us all less safe. www.reuters.com/world/us/gab...

A nation so sexist we chose the worst man over the best woman. Twice. And we will spend generations paying for it with our economy, our national security, people's lives, and the planet. #RemoveTrump #GOPBetrayedAmerica Call your reps 202-224-3121

Since a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd in 2020, the number of people killed by the police each year has continued to rise — and Black Americans are still killed in disproportionate numbers. Our data reporter explains his findings. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

This is a political time to wake up EVERYDAY prepared to Speak Truth to Power!........

look, I may not agree with everything our president says, but I will defend to the death his right to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and thrown straight the fuck into prison

Wise words from Mr. Rogers. We are all in this together. Let us all renew ourselves to strive for the common good.

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

Nothing says ‘heartbreaking realization’ like finding out the guy who bankrupted four casinos might not be great at economic policy.

In times like this, integrity matters. Well done 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 Top lawyers walked out of Paul Weiss to start their own firm—right after the firm cut a shady deal with the White House to dodge an executive order that would’ve limited its business. Some folks still have a spine.

To be clear, Jake Tapper isn’t a journalist, he’s a propaganda peddling tabloid trash sensationalist and a huge asshole.
