Worrisome that I’m agreeing with Republicans this week.

New Republic : The new keystone kops, ICE, raided a 5 yr old child’s birthday party in Texas in March, flash bangs and all, claimed it was a Tren de Aragua gang meeting, and arrested 47 people. Now, Texas Tribune reports that none of the arrestees had a criminal record, much less been gang members.

🤣🤣

If you’re shocked at how shallow and self absorbed we are, you haven’t been paying attention. Voters are more afraid of a trans athlete on their daughter’s lecross team than fear of losing our democracy, healthcare, & civil rights.

When a pregnant woman is having a medical emergency, doctors are required by law to provide life-saving care. That includes abortions. Donald Trump and RFK Jr. think they should be the ones to make decisions in emergency rooms — not your doctor. This will hurt women everywhere.

Pro-life my ass.

Someone lock all the Dems in a room without their phones, so they don’t somehow get in the way of what’s happening

Republicans appear to have done many things they “cannot” do. Until somebody stops them.

Today's winner.

It should be the right decision for every NATO member to offer air defenses to Ukraine.

More than half of American voters chose the failed ignorance & cruelty of Trump's 1st term over the compassion & competence of Democrats' achievements during Biden/Harris term. Because voters are stupid & DNC can't campaign.

Prolife my ass.

Donald Trump has bent over backward to try and sell his so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” with a new lie: He says no one will lose health care coverage. He says no benefits will be slashed. He says the bill won’t harm a single recipient. He. Is. Lying.

The entire world laughs at this fool.

I’m not seeing how business-as-usual appearances that nobody watches on MSNBC are protecting our democracy or stopping the corruption. Democrats have no leader with an effective plan.

The Pentagon is so well run and efficient, they decided they have nothing more important to do than spew bigotry and hate. 🚨 CBS: Hegseth Orders Navy to Review Ship Names Honoring Harvey Milk, Harriet Tubman, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Thank you to the California State Senators (Henry Stern) who voted NO on SB79 because they know we don't have to destroy the residential neighborhoods of the San Fernando Valley area in order to create more accessible housing & transportation options.

BREAKING: A judge orders the government to allow Venezuelan men who were removed from the U.S. earlier this year to challenge their ongoing imprisonment in El Salvador, saying the Trump administration attempted to create “a legal no man’s land.” From: @jaknutson.bsky.social‬

This is called "doing a Tapper"—coordinating a political shift to juice book sales, distance yourself from what policy-wise was one of the most successful administrations of the last century, and give a winking mea culpa to far-right idiots so they'll buy your book (though they can't/won't read it).

Not a cult. Nope. All those years Joe Biden actually rode the trains.

Moskowitz: "Nothing has been made more efficient. Here are the wins for congressional Rs. You ready? They're gonna do a $9b recession bill. They're gonna get rid of Elmo, which the American people were clamoring for, but they're gonna add $2.4t for the debt. And then they want us to cheer for them."

“Yes, Joni, we know — the American people know — that at some point in their lives, they are going to pass away,” However, unlike Ernst, Jeffries offered specifics as to what might cause those deaths. “The cause of death should not be Republican cruelty,” www.yahoo.com/news/hakeem-...

Perfect response to Sen. Joni Ernst carelessly saying ‘we all are going to die’ while trying to defend Medicaid cuts.

Why shouldn't the Department of Education have the same level of ignorance as every other cabinet position?

Spoken like a truly compassionate medical professional of the "pro-life" party. If you can't work, you can die, We're all gonna die anyway.

Reminder to ICE: Do not lay hands on American citizens. Video, photos, and personal information have been recorded. Actions have consequences. If you have information to share, email [email protected]. Your safety is our top priority, never forget that.

Expect liars to say CBO is partisan, & has been bigly wrong before. Expect Republicans to promote the false taking points & carry on, as they've done with Econ policy that failed us for decades, from Depression, Recessions, Shut-downs, & a squandered budget surplus. Dems are fiscally responsible.

Democrats have to stop with business as usual speeches nobody hears & media interviews nobody watches. If you haven't stopped him 298 times you may need to research the definition of insanity.

DeLauro is a decent person. Decent people speak up. Republicans are cowards & traitors.

A great nation wouldn't stand for this Republican cowardice, ignorance, & cruelty. Make America Great Again by voting for Democrats down every ballot from now until 2029.

The best way to reduce the deficit is follow Joe Biden's example. Create jobs. Increase IRS resources to find tax cheats & tax the rich fairly. Close the unfair gap in Social Security. Give the poor housing, transportation, healthcare & nutrition that offers fair entry into the workforce.

Shocked (not) that Republicans prepare reports like a script for a reality show. They only include lines that meet the show's goals. There is as much honesty in the felon's administration as you'd expect from a criminal enterprise.

The stupidity of Americans who can't tell the difference between factual news & dishonest entertainment is so bad for our nation. Journalists like Walter Cronkite & Tim Russert would bore them to sleep.

Most of the GOP are against the Bid Ugly Bill because it doesn't cut enough people off from healthcare & nutrition. They don't want to stop tax breaks for the wealthy or support IRS audits of tax cheats.

POCAN: Is the federal govt currently spending less this year than it did last year? VOUGHT: No, it's not POCAN: Part of that is because you've sent us a recession package worth $9b that goes after Big Bird and Cookie Monster, but you've added $200b to Defense and Homeland Security.

If the Klan ran immigration policy, it’d look exactly like ICE.

When was the GOP the party of fiscal responsibility? The Great Depression? The Clinton budget surplus that was squandered & became the Great Recession? Joe Biden is only the most recent Democrat POTUS who had to repair what GOP left behind.

he may have condemned thousands if not millions to death but you have to admit he produced a truly stupid car and is obsessed with moving to a planet where nobody hates him

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

I'm waiting for elected officials to show up and walk the walk of their pretty talks about how outraged they are by ICE thugs.

Our government is being ruined by ignorance & cruelty. Nobody would hire the least qualified, most incompetent candidates to run their business. Only the voters supporting them are worse.

I'd like to see elected officials who make speeches about our Constitutional rights show up at courts and help protect them.

Congressional Budget Office analysis is the Big Ugly Bill could add $2.4 Trillion to debt. We expect Republicans to say CBO is partisan, always wrong, & worse insults from the felon. GOP economics failed our nation for decades.Yet voters still don't realize which party is fiscally responsible.

KY GOP: Stripping health care from more than 13 million vulnerable Americans. KY Dems: Securing more than $1.9 million to help kids with cancer heal. We are not the same.

other98 For the life of me, I'll never understand how America picked the party pushing to loosen child labor laws so they can work in factories instead of the one fighting to give kids free school lunches.

They were kidnapped by human trafficking thugs.
