Great question

He’s got private golf resorts, personal jets, and towers with his name on them and yet he’s still begging oil despots for a luxury plane instead of helping people working two jobs who can’t make rent.

It’s amazing how quickly unprecedented corruption is treated like just the way things are now in the press. Any of the many examples in just these first few months would have elicited a stern editorial board call for resignation or impeachment in the before times.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but fascism often begins with the slow erosion of civil liberties and the rise of authoritarianism under the guise of ‘security measures’.

Trump is urging GOP lawmakers to defund PBS "immediately". He's not the first right-wing crook to wage war on public broadcasting. Here's what national treasure Fred Rogers told Congress in 1969 when Richard Nixon tried to gut PBS.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

So did Tulsi Gabbard perjure herself in front of Congress?

Just a thought…👇

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Why do we need Greenland to defend against Russia when we already work for Russia?

"A mysterious and scary sounding group are threatening you, so we need to suspend civil liberties, throw out the law, and demonize anyone who criticizes these policies as in line with the shadowy group who wants to kill you." im tired of the right running the same shitty playbook on us.

I read a biography of Lincoln once, and early in his life he was testing his anti-slavery beliefs by reading the best pro-slavery arguments and afterwards he wrote down "None of these people arguing about how great slavery is for the slaves seems to want to be a slave themselves."

The fact that the Department of Justice has not, and will never, launch an investigation into this massive national security breach tells you all you need to know about this lawless and profoundly corrupt Administration.

When people say, "If we're not careful, America will fall into fascism," I respond: "Too late."

Wouldn't it just be a damn shame if EVERYONE emailed their five accomplishments, or 5 thoughts, or insults for Elon, to OPM as they requested of federal employees, thereby crashing the site? Sounds like good trouble to me. PASS IT ON.

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social Run as an Independent and vote with the Dems on shit that makes sense. Tow the line.

Punxsutawny Phil has just seen his shadow and predicts 1,000 years of darkness.

My anxiety is thru the roof, I hope 9 cups of coffee & 14 hours on social media helps

Remember: The tariffs aren’t about economics, and DOGE isn’t about fiscal responsibility. They are both about ••psychopathology**.

Will everybody please just pause a second, take a deep breath, and not chill out in this least.

Just remember, the anger, fear, and depression you're feeling are all on the patriotism spectrum.

Trump is so worried about drugs he: 1. Pardoned a big time drug dealer 2. Put a ketamine addict in charge of the government 3. Nominated an ex-junkie to be in charge of our health 4. Pretends not to see his son’s drip

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

If you're enraged by showing consideration to those different from you, the problem AIN'T those different from you.

So Trump has withdrawn the illegal freeze on federal funding - which tells us two things: they are both feckless and incompetent. They don't care about consequences so take illegal fliers on actions that are deeply harmful & they can't figure out or don't bother to take time to do things lawfully.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

Moral of the story. Using your voice makes a difference. Raising hell with your members of Congress makes a difference. Contacting your governors makes a difference. Contacting the WH makes a difference. Don’t stop!

This ain’t your grandpa’s Republican Party, unless your grandpa was from Germany in the 1930s.

I will repeat this every day: There is no such thing as a humane mass deportation. There will be separations, assaults, sexual assaults, child molestation & deaths that this administration, Border Patrol, ICE & CBP will attempt to hide.

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

Want a great slogan for midterms? "If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you " You get the point. FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

One headline to rule them all
