POV: you agree with Mike Pence for the first time.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

I had 3 things on my list of signs that it's time to leave the US (as someone blessed to have a second citizenship and a remote job): 1. Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, and Kash Patel being confirmed ✅ 2. Liberal media being shut out/silenced ✅ 3. Journalists or vocal politicians being jailed 🚫😬

Fun fact: even if you downloaded and paid for your music collection and have a huge amount of storage available on your phone, if you pay for Apple Music, apple will start replacing your downloaded music with cloud versions leaving you unable to access your music on a flight. 🙃

My 68-year old mother in the phone with CVS: "I'm moving my prescriptions to Costco. It's not your fault. It's Target. They don't do DEI anymore so I'm not shopping there."

Reporter: You are going to meet with first responders today, but you pardoned hundreds of people who assaulted first responders. Trump: No, I pardoned people who were assaulted themselves… by our government. What I did was a great thing for humanity.

Chiefs: "it's cool to play in front of the president" Eagles: "um he can do whatever he wants we are unbothered by his presence. Winner on and off the field: Eagles The meritocracy has spoken. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Do y'all remember back in the day when you could go like a week without even thinking about your president or whether or not you lived in a democracy? That was cool.

Me when I found out today was the Super Bowl: "oh really, who's playing?" Me when I found out Trump is cheering for the Chiefs: "wooohooo!! Go birds!!"

I can't stop thinking about the lead up to 9/11 and how much of that is happening now, alongside a intelligence community and FBI that have been crippled and the withdrawal of aid that has surely earned us some good will from countries we've harmed. Our enemies can see the chaos and that's scary.

@maxwellfrost.bsky.social just said " it everyone consumes news as a hobby" and I've never felt more called out.

Me: tries to hold my 4-year old's hand in Safeway My 4-year old at the top of his lungs: "Nooo!! Stop! I don't want to get shot again!" Shocked. He means shocked. 😭

Reminder: this is completely lawless

I do believe that PPP fraud and Pentagon spending really need to be audited

It's fascinating watching democrats freak out over the depravity of this pager when they stayed silent while watching videos oh IDF laughing while using kids for target practice. Nothing had changed. This is the same behavior we've seen for decades. Trump shouldn't be the reason you're outraged.

"Hey! I have an idea. Maybe you can draw me a bath and maybe you can make it warm this time." - my 4-year old.

If any of y'all know DJT, can you let him know that even his followers are over Elon?

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Them: "I hope this email finds you well." Me: "I'm American so..."

Why would a President who claims an election was stolen shut down a team whose job is to investigate interference in elections?

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Stop with this narrative. Most of these voters were progressives in blue states. This wouldn't have mattered in any swing state other than maybe Michigan. This is another space where white moderates are shifting the blame to the left of the party instead of at their neighbors who chose fascism.

USAID makes a lot more sense when you remember that we destroyed many of these countries, installing US-friendly leaders who would sacrifice their own people for profit and allow us to siphon off their resources. USAID isn't aid. It's reparations.

Yes Jasmine! 👏

BUT HER EMAILS

I support this. Elon Musk cannot dismantle USAID without an act of Congress. Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.

To be fair, we've defended and funded so many human rights violations, maybe we don't belong in a space devoted to upholding the values of the UN. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Eliminating USAID has nothing to do with government efficiency and everything to do with more tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

MORE OF THIS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

The ed reform movement should be studied for how easily they got liberals such as myself on board with right wing ideology like privatization and demonizing unions. And now we're watching those "ed reformers" dismantle the DOE.

Should we be shouting out Trump for caving to pressure from Mexico and Canada? At least he knows that when he's wrong, he's wrong.

Shout out to Dr. Jon in Canada for sharing their public health sites since our government had crippled the CDC and withdrawn from WHO. 🙃

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

I know most people say that if they start arresting journalists, it's time to get out. But what are your signals that we should be making arrangements? For me, I'm thinking Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard being confirmed as it seems if that happens we know congress won't fight back. Thoughts?

Crazy idea but what if instead of putting tariffs on countries that aren't really in control of fentanyl crossing into the US, we, I dunno, fixed whatever is wrong with Americans that has so many of us using fentanyl? They wouldn't bring it here if there wasn't a market.
