A lot of government workers go unnoticed—until they’re gone. The problem with letting the ultra-rich call the shots is they don’t see us. To them, we’re disposable… until the day they need clean water, a working 911 line, or someone to put out the fire.

Yes.

A Constant Theme From That Political Party….

Don’t know who needs to hear this but claiming that you’ve prevented lots of really bad things from happening to our enemies is another way of saying that you’ve been aiding our enemies.

This simpleminded clown has obviously been told that the "Golden Dome System," he already announced, can't happen without Canada's cooperation, a country that he has given thousands of reasons to loathe him. Donald is smart that way.

Voters overwhelmingly think ALL Americans should have access to vaccines — not just those who are immunocompromised.

It costs Canada zero to say no. Then you can't build your so-called "Golden Dome."

We warned folks, but they just had to own the libs… whoops.

Can't help but feel we're living through an increasingly existential war between spectacle and substance with spectacle winning battle after battle after battle.

The orange felon pardoned corrupt Virginia Sheriff Scott Jenkins who was convicted of bribery and fraud, now he pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley who defrauded banks. Because nothing says law and order like a felon gifting pardons to other felons for their loyalty. Pure fascism.

Thou shalt not call yourself “the law and order party” when your leader is a convicted felon who constantly pardons criminals in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP. The land holds deep spiritual significance for the Western Apache tribe.

reputable medical journals keep saying that RFK and his pro-disease friends are full of shit and so naturally they must be shunned www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

A modest suggestion: The White House should mind its own f__ing business.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

U.S. intel agencies are building a centralized portal to buy Americans’ personal data—no warrant needed. Location, browsing, even politics. Congress failed to stop it. Privacy is being sold off in bulk, and civil liberties are on the line. #PrivacyRights theintercept.com/2025/05/22/i...

SOUTH AFRICANS: “Americans are seeing that they’re being embarrassed by their president. He thinks ruling 🇺🇸 is a reality show… They are bullying South Africans. This isn’t a genocide.”

America First = America Alone Unprecedented: the U.S. is the only country out of 184 to see a drop in international tourism this year. Everyone else is rebounding. We’re projected to lose $12.5 billion in spending—jobs, small businesses, entire communities will feel this.

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under scrutiny for a $50M Gulfstream jet request, funded by the Coast Guard's budget. It's a misuse of taxpayer money and prioritizes luxury over essential services.#AdminOfGrift

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

When they show you who they are, believe them. speakermjohnson 🇺🇸 www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

They pretend that the USA was founded as a Christian nation. Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians. Then they govern like the motherfucking antichrist.

Tonight, President Trump is hosting an “intimate” private dinner for the top holders of his $TRUMP memecoin. It’s an unprecedented pay-to play stunt and one of the most corrupt events we’ve ever seen. Here’s what you need to know: 🧵
