This. Not just stop and retvrn but expand. Take the moment when people are forced to confront how much the government does for them and say it can do more. We need it to do more.

Senate Democrats voted unanimously to confirm Rubio on the assumption that he was one of the “good” nominees. Now he’s implementing an illegal and destructive policy that could kill millions of people. I’d like to know what Senate Democrats are planning to do to atone for their mistake.

Yes, the memes are the problem. A secondary problem is people like you who rehearse familiar forms of analysis to sound smart rather than observing what is plainly happening in front of your face

People, the No Tax on Tips thing is just another scam. The SCOTUS ruled in Snyder v. United States that a bribe isn't a bribe as long as the reward you got for doing a thing comes after you do it. Then its considered a "tip".

People keep saying "it's gonna be a long four years," and I keep saying: this cannot go on for even a small portion of that. People will die, government will crumble, America will go to war, and our democratic republic will be dead, buried, and rotted out top to bottom. He must be removed ASAP

starting to think that the dem party has moved as far into obstruction territory as they're gonna move, at least with current pressures. I know it's way early for it, but I really think the only thing that will start shaking up behavior is credible primary threats

THREAD: Today, House Republicans will vote on an extreme budget that cuts $880 BILLION from Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax breaks. Ryan Mackenzie and Rob Bresnahan are swing-seat Republicans who won by only 4000 and 6000 votes, respectively. Call and pressure them so they #DontCutOurMedicaid.

I’m definitely living in a liberal bubble, I guess, but I find it hard to believe there’s such pent up overwhelming demand for segregation in this country that an entity like NBC is smart to do this. That said, all the more reason to shut the television off forever!!!

So much for a “meritocracy.” Last night at the Pentagon, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth dismantled a core principle of American democracy: the apolitical military. Let me explain what’s going on and why it is deeply dangerous for our country: 🧵
