The incompetence of this administration is staggering.

Whiskey Pete Hegseth has a Russian burner phone which he uses to communicate in secret with someone. 👊🇺🇸🔥

The only legitimate reason for not investigations because you don’t believe a crime was committed, not because “the mission was successful” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

I will fearlessly and unapologetically continue to stand up for democracy, no matter what the president says about me. Democracy Docket will do the same: www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

The world hates Donold and Elon. Imagine being so despicable you piss off an entire planet. That used to only happen on Star Trek.

Yale researchers tracked more than 30,000 abducted Ukrainian children - ( they were taken to Russia & Belarus) But Trump has now ended the tracking of kidnapped Ukrainian children in Russia www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/u...

My 88 year old mother just told me: "We need a strong group of Dems to organize us to help "take down" Trump and Musk and save our democracy. I will stay alive until both of these assholes are locked up for being traitors." P.S. That's my mom on the bottom right -- the other two are the assholes!

This post has reached a half-million people now on LinkedIn. Never have I had something go so viral.

Thread. I feel like most are under-freaking out. The new regime is planning a full-on autocratic attack on our democratic laws, rules and norms from moment one. We're going to see so many bad things happen so fast it's going to be overwhelming...which is the point. "Flood the zone with shit"

Get ready for a continuous occupation of the National Mall until Donald Trump is impeached and removed from office. #3E #EndOligarchy #USProtests

Hours after Bannon talks about impeaching judges, obedient extremist Rep. Andy Ogles files articles of impeachment to oust judges that have gotten in the way of Trump’s illegal actions 👇🏽

📢 SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, April 5. Together with progressive partners, we’re planning a massive mobilization in the streets to translate the anger with Trump’s power grab into a nationwide show of defiance. Find a Hands Off! event near you or plan one: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.

Trump tells reporters at Kennedy Center that a lot of changes are going to be made to the seats and the decor. He adds, “pretty much everything.” At the end, he poses for photographers in an Evita-like pose. Evita is his favorite musical. He says he saw it six times when it was on Broadway.

A thing about improv comedy is that it’s a very admirable skill involving both humor and cleverness and legitimately a bit of courage but also there’s nothing cool about it and you should feel slightly ashamed

I'm awake now.

This is the biggest scam in American history, Trump and Elon should be in prison.

In an effort to ignore the hideous reality we are all facing, here's a picture of me as a cowboy for no apparent reason. 🤠

"That Melania doc? Turns out Amazon paid not for ownership but simply licensing a whopping $40m. $40m straight into the Trump family’s pocket. There was a bidding war. Disney and Paramount got outbid. Sad! They lined up to get a chance to hose Trump down in cash in a licensing wet t-shirt contest"

one of the most striking things about republicans these days is they are the biggest fucking sore winners on the planet

Never forget.

It snowed. It’s not like there’s a violent mob outside beating up cops who are desperately trying to protect members of Congress inside.

The leader we should have had

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸

Probably does have something to do with it. Im still not used to a president elect running a shadow government.

This sums it up, yes.

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.

Billionaires have more money than they could ever need but never enough to fill the holes in their souls. They would send every last one of you into an early grave if it meant paying one cent less in taxes.

For some reason, none of the 2,000 word articles talking about Elon's power grab mention that he destroyed ~80% of Twitter's value. Like, wtf have you all been hyperventilating about "DOGE" when destroying value is Elon's immediate precedent?

I still haven’t been sued.

i recall a time when using a private email server was the single greatest scandal in american history. i guess today’s it’s just tuesday www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

Hey @RandPaul — maybe not a great idea to install a guy as speaker who can’t get security clearances in part because of his ties to a murderous dictator who openly wants America’s economy to crash and the country to fall apart? 🤷🏻 www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

A publicly funded USPS gets your letter delivered. A privatized USPS gets your data delivered directly to an ad agency.

People who've never been dependent on a paycheck should not get to decide how long you can go without yours.
