The shameful words of the current wet behind the ears, extremist VP, JD Vance in Europe. Together with Trump and Hegseth he mindlessly rejects our European allies, two of which have nuclear arms, as partners against the totalitarian aggressors in the world (whom they are currently courting).

British newspaper illustrates how President Donald Trump has degraded himself and the people of the United States by becoming, in the eyes of the world, "Putin's Poodle." He has covered himself and our country with shame. d2uuuneafwcujf.cloudfront.net/images/2025/...

Yesterday, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. Today, he endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. Republicans will say anything in their plot to take money from you and give it to their billionaire donors. It's all lies and broken promises. www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...

Many thanks to courageous @maddow.msnbc.com for speaking directly, on air, to Sen. Cassidy, R-LA, an MD who takes pride in championing Hep B vaccination. He voted for the frighteningly troll-like anti-vaxxer RFK as Head of HHS and thereby (IMO) disgraced himself, his profession, and his office.

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities” was written a few decades before our original Independence Day. No president before Trump has ever tested it but he spreads absurdities every day. Yesterday he said “Ukraine should never have started the war.”

Just a reminder: Your representative works for YOU. Every member of the House is back home this week for recess. Republicans must feel the heat for their complicity in the Trump-Musk coup. Democrats must know we’ve got their backs when they fight back. Let's get to work: indivisible.org/musk...

The guy who racked up almost $8T in debt during his first term has no interest in paying it down. The federal purge underway is to allow for oligarchs to make trillions in privatization and run roughshod in a deregulated landscape. Remember that in an oligarchy, everything is run by the oligarchs.

Fascism isn’t coming to America, it’s already here. We are long past the warnings of an approaching existential threat looming on the distant horizon of our story, which many of us spent the past decade imploring people not to ignore. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/fascism-is...

Comment by a reader of @hcrichardson.bsky.social - "The media treats all the Trump/Musk administration does as individual acts and then asks what the Democrats are doing about it. They don't present it all together, as we all can see, as an active insider coup happening in real time. It's insane."

Here's news on the fire just set inside the Dept of HHS by the cruel, unbelievably ignorant Trump Administration. A small one but very likely to be deadly for Americans. Is there any difference between our enemies and Trump? Both intend to wreck our country and both are busy allying against us.

Musk in his Trump office speech this week said, "We don't live in a democracy any more! We live in a bureaucracy!" But, bureaucracy doesn't exist on its own and all governments have had one, some good and some not. Thinking he can wreck it here and still have a viable country is tragic nonsense.

Reuters: "Thursday's [firings] fulfill Trump's vow to reduce the size of the federal government and root out the "deep state," a reference to bureaucrats he views as not sufficiently loyal to him." That's clear! Also clearly illegal, but that doesn't stop corrupt, criminal presidents like Trump.

🚨HISTORIC: VoteVets is making our biggest investment in 20 years—$500,000 to elect Abigail Spanberger as Virginia’s next governor. She’s a national security leader, a proven winner, and the right choice for VA. Veterans and Military Families will decide this race—we’re ensuring they have a voice.

I complained yesterday on Bluesky that Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) lied about USAID giving $3 million to a rap artist in Gaza. These two screenshots show details of the truth about the grant. (want to ask again how one can attach files to Bluesky posts. It's difficult to use photos to attach text.)

This quote shows Trump and his mentally ill sidekick forming a tag team to 1) call for near-complete transparency of government records and 2) give Trump 5 years to destroy records during his administration. A nice stunt pulled on us, the American people.

Share your best examples of effectively mocking authoritarians. It's time we stop feeling "shock and awe" at these bullies and start laughing in their faces. Authoritarians thrive on fear and control, but nothing deflates their power faster than ridicule. 1nadinesmith.substack.com/p/laughter-n...
