We simply can't wait any longer. We all must demand impeachment right now. I've called my congressmember. Have you?

The HANDS OFF! protest in Kingston, NY on a cold and rainy April 5th drew a good 2000 from 2 to 82, at least. It's great that people came out all over the country no matter the weather. Let's keep it up until the convicted felon is gone for good!

Good for Harvard and good for constitutional rights. It's past time to refuse Trump's anti-American blackmailing and bullying.

This has got to end. Ignoring the Constitution cannot be tolerated. Trump must be impeached and convicted now!

Honest question: is it possible that anyone is dumber or more dishonest than President POS?

Trump is perverted and crazy. Anyone who continues to serve in his administration or to enable it through legislation is too. Remove him from office or live in infamy forevermore.

There is no other way to understand this. Trump is corrupt and so are the billionaires who control American corporations and, because of Citizen's United, government, too. We the people are the only ones who can stop this. Force Republicans out of Congress and off the Supreme Court.

Sounds reasonable not to mention legally and morally correct.

Yep. The reactionaries are in charge and many won't be satisfied until women can't vote and Jim Crow is restored.

Who's going to investigate this? Not Pam Bondi, that's for sure.

A chance to hear a sane point of view.

It's hard to wrap your head around how anyone could think this is good for the US.

This is what happens when the government operates lawlessly by ignoring due process. We are all at risk.

Bravo. May his example inspire all Dem electeds to take this moment seriously and to stand up and be counted as supporters of the rights of all people, not the privileges of the wealthy and powerful few.

Some hard truths that Dems & the people need to reckon with. Many Dems are living in the past. While we all want civil political discourse, many of us realize that MAGA does not. It's a death cult that is willing to destroy everything in order to get its way. Funny thing is the Rs know it, too.

Tim Walz talking about why he is touring these town halls across America. "I heard the primal scream of Americans saying god dammit it, do something, do something about this." Listen to the first 10 minutes at least for a bit of inspiration and hope. He's a straight talker and he's passionate.

If this premise is correct, then we are near a state of anarchy where no laws will apply. It's getting harder to believe that our political leaders are up to the job, so that leaves it to the people. Dangerous times, indeed. The bottom line is that Trump must be removed from office now.

This. 👇

Working people, including immigrants, are not the problem. The problem is the billionaires who vacuum up the wealth created by working people. Guaranteeing a living wage and life sustaining services like healthcare and education will make the economy soar.

Trump and DOGE at work. If there's one thing worse than putting an idiot in charge, it's putting an idiot and a geniass in charge.

Rep. Katherine Clark gives a summary of Trump's essential failures. Items 1 & 2 show his failure to deliver on his promises or, as we call them when spoken by Trump, his lies. Items 3,4 & 5 are each cause for impeachment. It's time for him to go.

Agreed. For MAGA hate is the new love.

fElon puts his foot in his mouth again. Yep, he's a geniass.

This is what democracy looks like. We get our turn on April 5th. HANDS OFF! at a location near you. Turn out and show the world that we are not going to put up with Trump's sh*t any longer. handsoff2025.com for details.

This crap is real folks and it's gonna hurt bad. Iowa City and U of Iowa didn't deserve this. Too many Iowans have lost the thread recently and we all hope they can see that now.

Trump and Project 2025 are like a bulldozer, indiscriminately destroying institutions and cultural foundations like the rule of law and common decency. According to MAGA, all who disagree are vile enemies. We are in great peril and the world is watching. If we don't stop this madness, we will fall.

A good reminder that nothing Trump says can be trusted.

This is what a civilized country can do. Why can't we have nice things, too?

If you did this you'd probably lose your job and be called out by Trump, fElon and VP Say Thank You. You'd be ignored by many in the mainstream press, the universities and the big law firms. Whatever happened to free speech you ask? It's been put up for sale by SCOTUS.

Teach your children well. 👏

Bravo. At least one attorney at a targeted law firm will resign rather than put up with capitulation to Trump's illegal demands.

Note that not a single Republican signed this letter of principle stating fealty to the rule of law. Why? Whether due to cowardice or to a genuine disdain for our Constitution, not one of them is fit to serve the people of their state. If they affirm that disrespect, then they should be disbarred.

Trump is a racist. Period. The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable starting from his days as a NYC landlord in the 70s. Voting for him is the modern equivalent of supporting George Wallace. At least Wallace was honest about it.

Here's the revealing thing about this story. They know these guys screwed up, but in their childish minds they think firing them would show weakness. In fact, acting decisively to secure our national defense by replacing the incompetent actors would be how to show strength. Trump is a pathetic boy.

Why are unions so important for working people? Here's the evidence at a glance. Simple, isn't it?

Hegseth Brought His Wife to Sensitive Meetings With Foreign Military Officials Clearly, Hegseth is a threat to national security. He's a dolt. That said, the incident raises three important questions. 1) Why did the foreign leaders meet with him? 2) Did they withhold info? 3) Why is this allowed?

Wow.

Trump is coming unglued like a Tesla. How long before Rs have to admit it?

If another virus like covid evolves, we are f*cked. Serious question: are there any adults in the Trump admin?

There really is no doubt. You have to be stupid to make the excuses these Signalgate sh*ts are spinning. They can't even keep their story straight. It should stay in the news cycle until the idiots are held accountable. You know, like the press would do if a Dem did something this dangerous.
