The continued reprehensible behavior by Tmurp and his Minions that is going unchecked by the Congressional GOP will take decades to undo. Yet another example of their ignorance affecting all Americans.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Phang: Putting aside the big bullshit bill that just got passed in the House in the dark hours of the night, DOGE has single-handedly destroyed so much of our federal government. We, as Americans, deserve to know why they have done it, how they have done it, and what they are continuing to do.

Supreme Court Kills The Independent Agency. Trump Is King talkingpointsmemo.com/news/supreme...

Succinctly states where we are and what's happening. These three things, in addition to doing much else, are the sheet anchors of American wealth and power.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

The absolute disgrace taking place today in front of cameras in the White House is yet another reminder that for all the talk of Joe Biden's failures, the people who failed America the most are our citizens. Empowering this guy (again) was a foreseeable disaster we'll be lucky to survive.

McGovern: Some people are wondering why are we debating this bill at 120AM which is prime time in Guam because they are ashamed of what they are bringing to this floor. They should be

McGovern: Let me say this again: Democrats will not stand by and watch Trump and his billionaire friends destroy this country without putting up one hell of a fight. *cheers*

Alert ⚠️ We only have democracy if there is due process, rule of law, justice, freedom & civil rights. Otherwise, we have autocracy. This administration is IGNORING A SUPREME COURT RULING! I repeat: they're ignoring a SCOTUS ruling! We ARE in a Constitutional crisis & it should be headline news!

The Sinaloa Cartel, Tren de Aragua, and MS-13 were designated as “foreign terrorist organizations” by the Trump administration in Feb. Supposed membership in these FTOs has been invoked by the administration to defend renditioning people to El Salvador, including Abrego Garcia. Meanwhile, this.

GD Culture Group-led by CEO Xiaojian Wang plans to buy $300 million of Trump’s meme coin. The company, w/8 employees, reported a $14 million net loss & is facing Nasdaq compliance issues. Now, it’s using secret offshore funding to pour millions into a coin that directly enriches trump #MomSky

The Trump administration cut federal funding for a research project at Cornell University aimed at developing a heart pump designed for babies and children with congenital heart defects bringing the effort to a halt.

8 hours into the Ways and Means markup of the Republican tax bill, Democrats led by @replindasanchez.bsky.social just offered an amendment to stop Trump's trade war and repeal his tariffs that are hurting our economy. Every Republican voted to keep Trump's tariffs in place.

There's always a tweet.

Let’s break this down—because the gaslighting is wild: 📌Oct 2022 – Biden signs EO to cut drug prices 📌Jan 2025 – Trump takes office and kills Biden’s EO to cut drug prices 📌May 2025 – Trump signs his own EO to lower drug prices Trump canceled Biden’s plan then brought it back w/his name on it.

The rightwing hates me because I fight. They fear me because we win.

NEW: President Trump's policies and actions have been stopped by US courts more than 200 times. We've been tracking lawsuits from the moment he was sworn in, identifying at least 320+ by the start of May -- and more keep coming. A deep, deep dive into the data: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

While Rachel Maddow honors everyday Americans standing up to Trump’s authoritarian regime, she also says the quiet part out loud: the GOP doesn’t care about their constituents—because they think they don’t need them. They serve power, not people. @maddow.msnbc.com @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

Props to Rachel Maddow for acknowledging the "hysterical" and *doomsayers" (me, I admit) as being correct. We screamed warnings of fascism, tyranny, dictatorship...and now it's here. I HATE that I was right. But Trump has no good intentions, he's evil to his core. I don't get how anyone missed that.

This meme is many years old and it still holds true today…

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack. I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

The cat-and-mouse game he has played with federal judges is rapidly turning into outright defiance. At every stage, the government asserts the presumption of good faith and regularity to shield itself from the judicial scrutiny democracy requires.

What a pathetic way to tell your readers about all the illegal things Trump is trying to do. apnews.com/article/trum...

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has now admitted they made an error in raiding the Oklahoma City home of a mom and her three daughters. 20 federal agents, including ICE, the FBI, and U.S. Marshals raided the home, held the family at gunpoint, and seized their belongings. DHS now…

I got an E. coli infection while in law school and ended up hospitalized for two days. Dismantling food safety inspections is just malignant, death-cult like behavior.

This is the message. You may like Pritzker, you may not, but whomever the new leaders of a reformed democratic party are, they will carry this message. This is the way to win. My two cents.

💥 BREAKING: American Express shareholders voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal at their annual meeting today, tally TBD. Amex: "We Embrace Diversity" "We Stand for Equity and Inclusion: We are committed to rewarding and providing opportunities for colleagues equitably, based solely on merit"

THE GREAT AMERICAN SCAM Why does a country with approx. 340,000 million people, many of whom pay taxes, have a deficit of $1.7T? Ans: Because most of that debt exists from giving the rich tax cuts. We are broke b/c legislators keep giving our money to the rich. #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited 👇🏼

Conservative and liberal judges across the country this week ruled against President Donald Trump in at least 11 different lawsuits challenging his administration’s immigration, elections and anti-diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

INBOX: Billionaire not worried.

We’re about to get the biggest run on fake conversions since the Spanish Inquisition.

Hitler began arresting judges within two months of becoming Chancellor in March 1933. 🧨

Simple. As. That. 😎✨

Its only been 95 days. The United States is rapidly becoming unrecognizable. What will this country be like in 3 years? We cant let them Resist
