One of those middle ground democrats who believes that the reason for Trump’s victory in 2024 was Biden’s and the democrats failure to take action on the border. Let’s hope they learn the lesson!

Agree.

"... finally got that government job, I think, about six months ago –– well, he's laid off now. So his kid, his wife, all of that promise, it's totally gone."

"But you, of all people, have been very clear that it's not just about winding down a war."

Trump again raises idea of running for an unconstitutional third term The suggestion followed a stretch of days in which Trump referred to himself as a king and quoted a dictator in suggesting that he was immune from following laws www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Many people here probably know this, but I'm now posting almost daily on Substack: paulkrugman.substack.com The response has been pretty good so far

The French far-right has decided to actually take a stand after Steve Bannon made what appeared to be a Nazi salute similar to the one Elon Musk did weeks ago.

Trump Does Show Biz Firing Of Maine Governor In Ugly Exchange: This is an amazing clip on so many levels. We are now in month two of the ordeal known as Trump 2.0 and the rabid cur that is the 47th president of the United States showed his fangs and his character at a White House governors’…

In 2021, heat-trapping atmospheric CO2 surpassed 421ppm for the first time since the Pliocene 4 million years ago when seas were up to 82ft higher. Conservative Republican regressives aren’t just taking us back centuries, they are taking us back to the Pliocene Epoch. youtu.be/XR35pH1UIrk

How can we simultaneously (1) fear foreign manipulation of public discourse enough to BAN TIKTOK, and also (2) completely dismantle the parts of the government that protect us from that manipulation??

Bad energy

🚨 **BREAKING:** Trump & House GOP swore they’d lower costs for families. Spoiler: They LIED. Instead, they’re gutting healthcare for MILLIONS—just so their billionaire buddies can snag another yacht. *Priorities, right?* #DontCutMyMedicaid

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Jess was born with a genetic disorder Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. She requires multiple specialists, treatments and medications. We rely on Medicaid to literally keep her alive at times. It also provides pathways to help her live as independently as she can. #DontCutMyMedicaid

We should all applaud Judge Ho’s appointment of former Bush SG Paul Clement to present a perspective distinct from those of the indicted NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the Trumpservient DOJ prosecutor Emil Bove. Well played! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

Mark my words—He is going to try to shut down mail-in voting. When he does, we will sue and we will win. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The president having what amounts to a business meeting in the Oval Office with a foreign investment fund that backs a golf tour that's held numerous events at his properties is pretty outrageous. The conflicts are even more brazen than last time. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

Republicans are embracing full on fascism. Nazi salutes, siding with murderous dictators, trash talking our allies, promoting hate, racist ideology, and bigotry, as well as, gaslighting Americans 24/7. In 30 days Trump & Republicans have managed to tank America’s reputation. The world hates us.

Trump and Musk are LYING about Social Security to erode confidence in the most popular program in the country. For nearly 90 years Social Security has delivered timely benefits to America’s seniors, people with disabilities, and survivors!

What if your mom was diagnosed with breast cancer & Medicaid could have saved her life, but Republicans cut it? This isn't just a budget cut, it's a death sentence for thousands of mom's... #DontCutMyMedicaid

It would be far less time-consuming to just document when he tells the truth. shorturl.at/tohgb

Constituents in +20 Trump district GA-07 chanting “Shame! Shame! Shame!” at Rich McCormick for not denouncing Trump as king. Dude is palpably uncomfortable. Good. But… UHHH… wondering where this energy was prior to the election…. 🙄 Anywho. Call out your MAGA representatives too. It does matter.

Quote of the day: "Senate confirms wack job Kash Patel as FBI chief".

Bannon, Musk, Trump and MAGA are too Nazi even for the French far-right: French far-right leader cancels CPAC speech, calling out Steve Bannon's 'Nazi ideology' hand gesture

A heartfelt thank you to former Senators Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema for repeatedly blocking popular policies to preserve “norms” and protect “the rights of the minority” We couldn’t have gotten here without you

Good morning Florida! “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." —Barack Obama Happy Friday. Rise and grind. @tizzywoman.bsky.social

Is it just selection bias that I'm seeing more of these because my social media landscape is attuned to them? Or are the mainstream media making more of a point to include a "I never thought the leopard would eat my face" quotations from ordinary people than they did in the first term?

#Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 Sen Tillis says the quiet part out loud and calls Putin a cancer and the biggest threat to our Country. I have one question. “Who the fuck did you think Trump was?” He’s always admired Putin. Tillis has been a silent bystander until it’s too late. No respect, Senator.
