The “I’m embarrassed to be an American” line just keeps leaving my lips multiple times a day…. Really, we are going to extort Ukraine in exchange for our “possible” support. Appalling!! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/w...

Set up a GoFundMe for these two so they can file discrimination chathes against the federal govt! I’d be happy to donate. These two people have more experience on the bottom of their shoe than Hegseth has! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

WTF happened to “leave it to the states”? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/n...

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

Hey Mitch and the rest of the Senate GOP spineless complicit useful idiots. This is your guy. Marco is following orders like a good boy. Don’t forget it! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

We told ya over a decade ago Cheeto Jesus was compromised! You didn’t listen. Thanks Mitch. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Alarm 🚨 bells people!! This is not OK! Oh and note the, “in addition to Ukraine, business ties were on tbe table.” Not a surprise! Wake up GOP!! He’s selling the US and Ukraine to the highest bidder. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

No international body is searching for hundreds of Yazidi women and girls still held captive by the Islamic State. Instead, that task has been taken up by a sprawling network of activists, survivors, family members, informants and amateur detectives.

Senator Portman and any of his GOP compatriots best leave their Ukrainian flag 🇺🇦 lapel pins at home if they’re going to continue to support this fascist administration.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

WTAF? tRump and President Musk truly think they’re above the law. Impeach this felon!!

Way to go GOP! This poor innocent man’s blood is squarely on your hands as much as his murderers!

Go Scholz! Vance and his orange makeup clad boss are a disgrace and an embarrassment to the US just like the AfD party is to Germany 🇩🇪! German chancellor rebukes JD Vance, defends Europe’s stance on hate speech and far right - Reuters

This fact-free, anti-vaccine policy from Trump is straight-out pro-sickness—telling every school in America to pick between funding to keep teachers on the job and keeping students safe. NO WAY! This former Shoreline school board member is NOT sitting by quietly. SPEAK OUT!

“If a married woman hasn’t paid $130 to update her passport —assuming she has one, which only about half of Americans do— she may not be able to vote in the next election if the SAVE Act becomes law,” @wendyweiser.bsky.social tells Glamour

They are truly the worst. Such fecking complicit hypocrites! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

Trump's ham fisted tariffs will just mean more inflation and fewer jobs. The truth is there is really no good reason for us to be picking fights with trading partners and close allies like Canada.

"The warning lights are blinking red. It is not normal to openly float the idea of defying a court order," @stevespaulding.bsky.social told @law360.bsky.social. "Democracy depends on people following the law. And when you ignore a court order, it undermines that basic principle."

Dear media, No, Trump isn’t “signaling” that he “might” ignore the courts. He. Is. Ignoring. The. Fucking. Courts. The end. Do your damn job.

Musk's illegal & arbitrary cuts to NIH will dismantle biomedical research in America as we know it. Labs will shut down. Sick kids won't get the treatment they need. Just because Elon doesn’t understand indirect costs doesn’t mean Americans should pay the price with their lives.

Free & fair elections are the bedrock of a functioning democracy

Does this guy honestly think that people on Medicaid are opting to Medicaid instead of their “employee provided health insurance“? 🤦🏻‍♀️ that’s not how it works sir.

Scalise: "Work requirements in Medicaid is the place you would start ... when we're running deficits, to be adding more people onto govt programs and taking them off of private sector insurance doesn't make a lot of sense."

So does this mean Trump is running a black site at Guantanamo? If not, what is this? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

More winning. I feel great how ‘bout you? Trump pardons Rod Blagojevich, who tried to sell Obama’s vacated Senate seat - The Washington Post

Sadly this one has not aged youtube.com/watch?v=oTKh...

I mean it’s just the agency tasked with nuclear security, how bad can it be?

Who could have possibly predicted?

Those weren't just words last night. Today, we're launching the Payback Project to hold Susan Collins (ME), Thom Tillis (NC), Dan Sullivan (AK), Jon Husted (OH), Joni Ernst (IA) accountable for enabling the Trump-Musk coup. indivisibleteam.medium.com/they-ignored...

Musk turns attention to Social Security Administration What could possibly go wrong? www.semafor.com/article/02/0...

The spineless bowing groveling GOP need to remember the oath they took to uphold the constitution! This coup must be stopped.

The moment we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down one agency – we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down anything.

For those of you that refused to vote in the 2024 Presidential election because you were opposed to the arms the US sent to Bibi’s Israeli army during the Biden administration. Well that really helped. Trump signs executive order imposing US sanctions on ICC, accusing it of ‘abusing its power’

Remember these are the folks who told Trump that Putin messed with our election, and the Saudi’s killed a @WAPO journalist: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The Guardian reports that a new Republican bill seeking to restrict abortion could make it impossible for people to get routine surgeries or even chemotherapy.

Rep. LaMonica McIver: "We are at war!"

Yes! This!
