Governor Josh Shapiro: He has demonstrated nothing but weakness when it comes to national security over the course of his first month in office.

And there you have it. From the guy who says elections are rigged AND wants to stay in power forever.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Accurate.

🗽FACT—CBO estimates that immigrants increase federal revenues ⬆️by $1.2 trillion and reduce the deficit ⬇️ by nearly $1 trillion over 10 years.

Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump have never been hired for their abilities or on merit. It's always been because they have a rich Daddy, which is also how their own father "qualified" for all of his first jobs.

It's a tragedy.

“NPR has identified dozens of defendants with prior convictions or pending charges for crimes including rape, sexual abuse of a minor, domestic violence, manslaughter, production of child sexual abuse material and drug trafficking.” www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

📌Three soldiers are dead tonight. Their Commander in Chief took no responsibility for it, and didn’t show a shred of empathy. He is a tiny man, a coward, completely unfit for duty, and an embarrassment to all of us who served. I spit on him.

We don’t have a real President who cares about the well-being of the American people. All we have is a shameless grifter using the presidency to enrich himself.

Literally happening as we speak

How long do you think it will take for the MAGAts to figure out that Trump is robbing all of us in order to enrich himself and his billionaire cronies?

STFU about California! Red states get the most FEMA funding. 📌 Florida, Louisiana, and Texas receive the most FEMA dollars: from 2015 to August 2024—Florida received $2.5 billion, Louisiana $2.4 billion, and Texas $2.3 billion. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

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.

Similar vibes to when Trump told a crowd of his supporters in Iowa-just after a school shooting that killed a 6th grader occurred there-that they should just “get over it” Billionaires don’t care about us Never have Never will #StopTheOligarchy

The felon FOTUS has removed the US Constitution from the White House website. He added Projekt 2025. He removed the office of Gun Violence Prevention. I am grateful for those who will stand against this criminal & his illegal acts. We are the #Opposition. We will win. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Happy Wednesday friends 👋 If you want to meet blue friends drop a 💙 Have a great day!

Time to update this listing, folks. Gotta keep the kids safe, you know.

Gotta love the British press.

Immigrants are taking all the best jobs.

Trump's Jan. 6 pardons send a dangerous message about political violence in service to the president. I’ll discuss with Andrea Mitchell at noon ET. @MitchellReporte @MSNBC

If it walks like rapist Talks like a rapist Acts like a rapist And is an adjudicated rapist… IT IS A RAPIST!

If you want further proof that American journalism is dead, the Hollywood Reporter showed more moral clarity in their coverage of Elon Musk’s Nazi salute than the Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, WSJ, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or NBC. Cowards all. bit.ly/4gdjnQe

Because our mentally degraded monstrosity of a president decided to make this woman the latest subject of two minutes hate, instead of doing what a more “normal”politician would do and mostly just ignore or move on normally, she’s almost certainly gonna get violent threats for the foreseeable future

absolutely brutal

I don’t wanna hear another fucking word about Biden’s pardons.

Um. What the fuck? “Elon was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. It was pretty good. Thank you to Elon.” Did Donald Trump just admit he cheated in Pennsylvania?

While we’re banning books… Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar. Be. Like. Finland.

What kind of an absolute idiot would vote for their cost-of-living to go up, their Social Security to go down, and for their insurance to stop covering pre-existing conditions?

Wow. No one else has made this point so clearly:

Response to coups by elected leaders: - South Korea: blocked by mass mobilization of citizens - Brazil: coup leader indicted, barred from politics - United States: coup leader re-elected with majorities in the legislature and a compliant Supreme Court

I think President Biden should pardon a shit ton more people -- a bunch of marijuana convictions, but mostly preemptive pardons to take trump's retribution targets off the backs of his press and political "enemies list." No fucks left, Joe. Just do it.
