The thing almost all Democrats have never learned two decades into social media is that you don't make attention, you free-ride on it. You take what the attention is on, and make it about your thing. This is virality 101, and the fact they don't get it is mind blowing.

This morning, Democrats tried to subpoena Elon Musk so he could answer to the American people. But instead of standing with us, Republicans spent about 30 minutes scrambling to shut down debate and protect their favorite billionaire.

Of course Illinois will be having No Kings protests!💙🩵 Expect to see the streets of Chicago packed. There are also lots of smaller towns around the state who will be having their own shindigs. Take a look at Galesburg, Macomb, Charleston, & Carbondale’s events if you aren’t close to the big city

Under Shitler, we're going to go from being the richest nation in the world to the most bankrupt (we already are morally, under that orange fuckwit, now we'll be financially as well). It's his MO to bankrupt everything. He's like King Midas, but with shit.

Russell Vought: "Impoundment, which is also a possibility. We are dusting off muscle memory that existed for 200 years before President Nixon in the 1970s and Congress acted to try to take away the president's ability to spend less." (Impoundment is literally illegal.)

Billionaires and the largest corporations? They’re doing FINE. They don’t need a handout at the expense of struggling families. But Republicans want to kick kids off their health care to shower the richest companies on earth with more tax cuts. No way. We need to put this heist on full blast.

Trump is required by LAW to get $220 million for childhood literacy programs out the door to benefit students. Secretary McMahon couldn't even provide a basic timeline to do so. Trump's illegally impounding YOUR taxpayer dollars—meant to help kids learn to read—to cut taxes for billionaires.

Violence is never the way to peace. My heart goes out to the families affected by the horrific attack on Pearl Street Mall, as well as to Jewish Americans across the country who are afraid in the wake of these hateful attacks. Antisemitism has no place in this country. Period.

Today I watched a video in which the Governor of Iowa Jodi Ernst snidely pretend she didn’t understand that cuts to Medicaid would cause people to die. She then sarcastically used Jesus as a human shield for her total lack of morality. She is an evil person who doesn’t care who dies.

This notion, that there always has to be a large underclass of people who aren’t well educated and just do manual work for the rest of us, is called “Mudsill Theory.” I bristled yet again at what the Party of Lincoln has become. marypezzulo.substack.com/p/the-mudsil...

Glad to see folks coming around. We need to arrest them, seize their businesses and properties, and search them relentlessly. A new Nurenberg. Without the leniency of the Biden administration. We use their newly discovered executive power against them to motivate limiting and removing that power.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.
