Tillis is a joke.
North Carolina: Tillis is not working for you, he’s working for Trump and himself.
America shrinks in the eyes of the world. Shame
1. Putin DOES have something(s) on Trump
2. During Trump's first administration, using his vast resources available to him, and with Putin's intelligence gathering, he was able to collect incriminating evidence (kompromat) against many in high
3. He has weaponized that information, and brought many into line by presenting them with the information during, say, a friendly visit to Mar-a-Lardo
4. Those who are less corruptable are treated to a view from a window in a high place with the statement that 'it would be a shame if someon
You get the picture. I'm sure they would.
In an administration this lawless, especially with the tacit (expilicit?) permission
seriously though, HOW CAN WE STOP THIS!?

Waiting for someone at Maddow’s level to connect the dots and spell out Yarvin’s ‘revolution’ to the public/ @electiontruth.bsky.social deserves real attention
Fuclk you Thom Tillis.
"All roads lead to Putin." --Nancy Pelosi
difference he collapsed into excuses. He will be a blot forever
Though they still went along with the rest.
We and our country are in such BIG trouble. I alternate between wanting to cry and getting a large gun for protection.
Democrats being afraid for their safety from those same voters and that's why they fight against Trump. Because no one should fear because of politics.
One is chicken 💩 and the other is brave.
If only there were warning signs.
I didn’t vote for her and she does not speak for most Albertans. Her time’s running out.
Why run for office after witnessing the violent insurrection if not to do what it takes?? Quit.
(Maybe they were the bully in grade school and so never learned that lesson?)
My senator Thom Tillis looks pathetic in comparison to these Democratic women. So much
What a tool!
constituents. Tell him he’s a coward and you expect better.
It's up to us now (just talking out loud to mysel now too) to just possibly save a world.

COWARD
What's to stop them from doing the same to regular Americans if they're speaking out against this regime?
- May the regime's demise be swift, severe, and certain.
This is how democracy dies. This is also why I will NEVER have anything to do with anyone MAGA.
What Trump is doing is un-American, unpatriotic & deplorable
Absolutely disgusting
Primary and election for Mayor are THIS year. VOTE HIM OUT.
@maddow.msnbc.com
So he put a target on her back 🎯
while he remains unscathed by the whole thing. 🤬

Now that they gave up their last piece of leverage (within 30 days of his swearing in), he can still enact whatever threat he used to begin with.
It's now or never
Fascists in suits, fascists in ties,Fascists with plans for our demise,

America is the one that is suppose to stand up to tyranny
Our Founding Fathers are Rolling Over.
IT. IS. AVARICE.
ALL OF IT. This bullshit about them being afraid is just cover story bullshit and plausible deniability kabuki. Every single one of them would murder their own mother to achieve permanent kkkristofascist minority rule.

Congress your battle is in congress by laying down you are a deserter and a coward!
“Credible threats”? Seriously. Talk is cheap. Wait until you’re in a room with someone who truly wants you dead.
Dude.
Nut up.
I believe the Diocese of New York actually is putting together a seminar on how to respond.
The ECUSA stood for civil rights, we have long tradition of nonviolent protest.
There will be no appeasing this administration. Saying yes, will not keep them safe.
So many people get actual threats against them & don’t have the benefit of being elected officials who can be given security etc.
It’s an excuse to betray & take bribes.
With no Security Detail.
Say it louder
If memory serves, in the month(s) leading up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, over 1 million people turned out in the streets of Madrid, Spain to protest the coming Iraq war.
If half of Harris' 72+ million votes took to the streets....
All hail the The Empire of 34 Felonies, beholden only to the Russian Empire.
They’ll be fine.
Thoughts and prayers.
Follow a dictator will sooner or later make you an asset of a coup and that will not make your life better
Do not bow to a dictator!!!!
There is state and local law enforcement, but in red states and counties, would prosecutors even prosecute a rightwing political assassination?
