WATCH: “We are not the enemy, sir. We have different morals. We have different values.” Rep. Jason Crow—U.S. Army Vet—challenged Sec. Hegseth directly after he used language that blurs the line between our military and extremists. Leadership matters. So does the tone it sets.

🤔

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

No kings, Boulder.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump has committed at least 16 of those same offenses. #NoKings

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

I am Democrat Shawn Harris. I am a husband, father, retired General and farmer. I have announced my candidacy to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene and I know we will together. Her hate and conspiracies do not belong in Congress. Let’s end the chaos together. Share and join me in this fight:

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

This draft dodger, who liked to pretend he was in the military by wearing this cute little costume in high school, is planning to use our real military domestically against US citizens. This violates the Posse Comitatus Act enacted in 1878 to stop our military being used as a domestic police force.

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

Remember: Donald Trump is invading Los Angeles tonight because he destroyed the economy and Elon called him a pedo He’s desperate for a distraction

BREAKING: The U.S. government says 247,000 people applied for unemployment benefits last week, the most in eight months.

Wow! Some morning music for you. Just beautiful…

If Karoline Leavitt had gotten an LGBTQ degree from Harvard she would know to say fewer instead of less.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Mr. Springsteen @brucespringsteen.net, during his “Hope & Dreams” Tour launch in the UK last night: “The America I know—is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.” His words are painful to hear but filled with undeniable truth. “We’ll survive this moment.”

"In my home, the America I love — the America I've written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 yrs is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous admin.” Bruce Springsteen www.tiktok.com/t/ZTj5hnX55/

At her tele-townhall (because she won’t face voters), Lauren Boebert was asked if she would say #HellNo to privatizing USPS. Her answer? She told a story about petting a coyote. No joke. I’m running for Congress because the USPS isn’t a punchline to me—it's a lifeline for rural Colorado.

It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

News.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

$400 million "palace in the sky" private jets for him. No toys for you.

Steny Hoyer: "Is this infantile bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico really this House's top priority? *phone rings* I think Saturday Night Live just called me. They want me on."
