Stephen King has returned to Twitter. 10/10. No notes. 🔥

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

They’re going full mask off www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/BQ2...

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

If Trump and his gang aren't bound by the law nor the constitution, why are you? Currently the system of checks and balances is being destroyed at a speed that would have launched most countries into riots or open revolt. This is a constitutional crisis and your constitution isn't doing so well.

The Trump Presidency Is Failing: The American people are rejecting the things that Trump is doing by a 2-1 margin, as the Trump presidency is already failing.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. -George Orwell, 1984 apnews.com/article/ukra...

Good morning America...💙

Trump was a Trojan horse for Putin and billionaires

Banned/challenged books are often difficult reads with jarring content, but we can't shield ourselves nor our children from the realities of the world forever - it's better to build empathy and understanding through books, especially by reading books by/about marginalized people.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS @democracyforward.org request to allow expedited discovery in lawsuit challenging DOGE access to Department of Labor data. First instance of discovery being permitted in the Trump accountability cases. Visit Democracy Docket for more info. www.democracydocket.com

Father Pence is not having the ‘King’s’ BS.

Yes! Fuck DJT, Melon, their cronies and every politician, judge, or member of law enforcement either supporting him or just letting him bulldoze our country.

Duckworth: "He essentially just surrendered to Putin."

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

John Thune defends Trump's grotesque attacks on Zelenskyy: "It is simply right now the give and take that occurs, the back and forth that occurs in a situation like this where the stakes are really high."

Dark Pence is back.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

NEW: Hampton Dellinger has filed his brief in the Supreme Court opposing the Trump Administration's effort to have him removed in violation of federal law. Visit www.democracydocket.com to stay informed what is happening to democracy in court.

All of this is teeing up what some legal experts worry could be a constitutional crisis. Or, to put it simply: what happens when the Trump administration blatantly defies the courts? www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

Oh boy… www.reddit.com/r/interestin...

Prosecutors have found valid charges against Mayor Adams. Therefore charges against him should NOT be dismissed. Orders by convicted felon totally corrupt, Donald Trump should not be followed. That precedent would set us on a disastrous course. Stand strong for the rule of law prosecutors!!

Hey Republicans who “love” fake agency DOGE:

www.dailykos.com/stories/2025... Looks like it’s tough for guys like Stephen Miller to maintain their composure when interviewed by someone who isn’t doling out Fox News-style back rubs... www.dol.gov/agencies/vet...

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

Maybe we should hold off on paying Congress until they actually do something to earn it?

Elon Musk recently posted that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He asks if we suffered childhood trauma and suggests we are suffering from “generational trauma.” Tomorrow, Democracy Docket will publish my response. Sign up now to receive. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

The vote is THIS WEEK. We got one shot to get this handled. It won't be easy, but we ain't giving up easily either. GOP Senate Contacts found here: www.republicanleader.senate.gov/senate-resou...

It’s not even been a month since Elon Musk’s inauguration. Sorry, it’s not even been a month since Trump’s inauguration — but it’s easy to forget with Musk getting access to everything he wants. Instead of giving into despair, put your anger to use: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

Congressmen when they are asked if they will cut THEIR budgets and lay off staff as well:

Largest protest against fascism in Denver, Colorado since 2020. (🎙️ @kylec.bsky.social) Army Veteran George Lee: "I'm not fighting for me, I'm an old guy I'm 75, but I've got two kids ... I'm fighting for them ... I'm hoping for a better world for them." #3E #USprotests #fiftyfiftyone #Feb17

Yes, the employee at McDonald’s should be able to afford rent, groceries, bills, health care and retirement plans with their paycheck alone. That’s what jobs are for.
