So Trump imposes blanket tariffs, and only when a CEO pays him $5 million will he offer a carveout. Anyone who thinks he’s “draining the swamp” is either complicit or a fool.

Raskin: "So I assume if you really want to proceed to censure the gentleman from Texas for talking about no mandate to cut Medicaid, then certainly we're going to have to move to censure the President for using a racial and ethnic slur against a sitting United States Senator."

American Fed. of Teachers statement on Trump effort to close Education Dept: “Trying to abolish it—which, by the way, only Congress can do—sends a message that the president doesn’t care about opportunity for all kids. Maybe he cares about it for his own kids.. or his donors’ kids—but not all kids”

Big fan of this recommendation! God blessed me with enough critical thinking to know that pushing any one religion in our public schools (plus wasting taxpayer dollars to do so) isn’t ok. www.koco.com/article/okla...

Does this sound at all familiar to anybody else?

Only one man in that chamber understood the moment and had the courage to stand up to the bully, right to his bloated orange face.

Mockler: If you had to say one thing to Elon Musk and his DOGE cabal, what would it be? Warren: I would say follow the law and get the hell out of our agencies. Get the hell out of our government. Nobody elected you.

Raskin: The price of eggs has never been higher than it is right now. But what about the price of Eggs Benedict? All of their treason to democratic institutions—so, I don’t think people want to pay for the price of eggs or Eggs Benedict under Elon Musk and Donald Trump

Systematically demolishing democracy.

Breaking! This just in! Pictures coming out of the Capitol of the maga GQP roundtable meeting ahead of the unpresidential speech tonight... 😉😉

Raskin: It’s not even enough for them to appoint a crew of embarrassingly servile judges like Aileen Cannon, who may as well be on the bench in Putin’s Russia, as she shows little fidelity to the rule of law but fastidious devotion to the whims of her dear leader.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

Because the president is a psychopath, because the vice president has the spine of a jellyfish, because the people of this nation are terrorized, the state of the union is strongly fucked up. .

Without Congressional action, the World Trade Center Health Program will begin denying care for 9/11 survivors & first responders. Unacceptable. I joined NY colleagues in introducing a bill to secure permanent funding for WTCHP, so those impacted get the help they deserve.

Swalwell: The stock market is crashing, and prices are rising. This guy has gone to the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, and a UFC fight. He should go to the fucking supermarket and see what people are spending to feed themselves

Anyone have that sinking feeling happening?

Yep...

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— oh.

And yet here we are, plunging cartoonishly downward already.

At this point, it's quite clear that he is doing this to the American people on purpose!!

“Actually, we’ve had a lot of experience with tariffs,” Buffett said. “They’re an act of war, to some degree,” he added.

Come. On. People. ✨

Tis not anywhere near what I thought life would be like in my over 5 decades on this planet... ...yet here we are.
