I'm fine, but the world at large causes me angst... Married middle-aged white guy from Texas who despises Trump and what the Republicans have become.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

The community note 🤌😘

Dear Democrats, Remember how you fought successfully against Republicans trying to “Repeal and Replace” Obamacare? Musk and Trump are trying to do the same thing to entire government agencies and Congress isn’t even holding a vote?!?

Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day is cancelled per executive order. Women, are we paying attention yet?

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

BREAKING: Donald trump is actually doing something GREAT, promising to crack down on overdraft fees and to BLOCK medical debt from being listed on credit reports! WOW!!! LOL, just kidding. Actually, President Biden did all that stuff to help Americans, and trump wants to reverse it. Fucking idiot.

“They didn’t assault.” That Trump is allowed to deny the reality we saw with our eyes on Jan 6th, that is on tape!, & just ramble on with lie after lie, is a total indictment of our failed media industry. How reporters can just stand there as he says this stuff is beyond me. Have some self respect!

A goodread's friend (ex friend) now, sent me a message asking how my year was going so I told him and he blocked me. Guessing he voted different than me. 🤣 I knew it....Just needed it confirmed. 🤷‍♀️

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Jasmine is on FIRE 🔥 🔥🔥 "...we are going to be in your face, we are going to be on your asses, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like... ...and this ain't it!"

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

No president has the authority to override the protections Congress has granted to people seeking safety at the border.

I know, I know!! 👋 Two-part answer: Merrick Garland and Mitch McConnell.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

We could have had a competent president, lower drug prices, home buyer assistance, a Cabinet filled with qualified adults and not sociopaths, global respect, and national sovereignty...

The CDC web guide to help MDs prescribe contraception has been removed. We weren’t overreacting about Project 2025. It’s real and it’s happening NOW. This is a full on assault against women’s rights. No fault divorce will be next-Mark my words. Clip: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2jV5Kvo/ WATCH

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

Kiah was set to join our faculty at Howard Law School in the Fall. She was a dedicated, brilliant civil rights lawyer poised to make a powerful difference in our world. Our hearts are broken & we pray for her family & friends. www.kwch.com/2025/01/30/c...

As I recently wrote: "Donald Trump will insist on using the powers of the state to attack his political opponents. There will be retribution. The only question is whether we will oppose it or enable it." www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

A January 6 insurrectionist pardoned by Trump is now wanted for child sex solicitation. Andrew Taake, who pleaded guilty to attacking officers on J6, was already facing charges for soliciting sex from an undercover cop posing as a 15-year-old. Texas prosecutors are now seeking his arrest.

Excellent post

Former Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation child crimes investigator, Jordan Toyne, has been found guilty of raping 2 children on Choctaw Reservation. Toyne used his knowledge as a child crimes investigator to manipulate and groom his victims.

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is *why* we’re now in a position where Hegseth is the Defense Secretary. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

Oklahoma baptist pastor, James McMillan, has been arrested for a third time for child sex crimes. McMillan sent nude images of himself to a 14 year old girl in Kansas via Snapchat.

What we are seeing is an administration that values trolling the people who didn't vote for Donald Trump over helping the people who did. It's all so petty and irresponsible. And there is going to be much collateral damage.

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%. George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%. These numbers tell the whole story.

If someone asking a powerful person to show kindness to those without power offends your Christianity, your Christianity would offend Jesus. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This makes my blood boil in ways I cannot describe.
