By voting for him you have declared how little we have in common, how small our shared ground of agreement is, and how different the visions of this nation we share. And as much as it grieves me, I’m simply choosing to believe you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...

AZ AG Kris Mayes: Let’s talk about that visual of Elon Musk with the ridiculous chainsaw. I don’t think he’s ever actually used a chainsaw in his life. I don’t know what that was—some lame attempt to make himself look manly.

Russia invaded Ukraine three years ago tomorrow Putin called Zelenskyy a Nazi - yet he’s Jewish. Trump called Zelenskyy a dictator - but if that were true Trump would be falling all over himself to impress him. No matter what lies they spew, hold onto the truth that Ukraine was invaded.

So, sick and tired of people getting hurt or killed in the name of a weapon, "A GUN" my right to bear arms; don't hurt people, coz you can! It's the damn GUNS! Do the right thing, have safety measures in place to protect "we the people" background cks, screenings, all to keep us safe. Dammit man!

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Trump is a goddamn traitor to America. Any congressional Republican who supports him — or is afraid to stand up to him — is just as much of a traitor as Trump.

WATCH: “When will you stand up to them and say that is enough?” WISCONSIN Republicans Grothman & Fitzgerald run into tough town hall crowds also 👇🏽👀

Reply with a 💙 if you believe that we need more people like Letitia James.

And who they didn't like

From the get go of the second Trump administration, it was clear that the president would try to pass a bunch of executive orders without any clear indication that he, or his trusted advisors, actually knew if it was legal. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

OMG, Kennedy Center Honoree Lara Lea Trump is howling again-hide your dogs!

He nails it.

Whenever you ponder how Trump could possibly be president, remember the old saying: “Don’t underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.“

This is a simply constructed rolling container for industrial waste disposal at Ruhrkohle AG in Dortmund, West Germany in 1974. I will refrain from further comment.......😊

"The court kept the order in place while at the same time staying the Trump administration’s application in place — essentially punting on the issue." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

We refuse to let the oligarchs win and control us, and I feel a sea change (link to full video in reply)

swear to god if this were a movie script the studio would send notes back saying "tone it down, no one's gonna buy this"

🚨 ALERT 🚨 SLASHING MEDICAID = MILLIONS OF FAMILIES STARVING OR SICK! Forced to pick: Healthcare or food? NO ONE should face this nightmare! Don’t Cut My Medicaid! 😡💥

The exact opposite. I put an awful lot of faith in zelensky. And I always thought bluesky was a better place to hold discussions. Hope I’m not wrong

After sending over 400 ICE agents to Denver and Aurora, CO, and knocking on hundreds of Americans' doors, ICE made only one arrest. Now, Trump has removed the Acting ICE Director, Caleb Vitello. (WaPo)

Yesterday I spoke to Beto O'Rourke, to get his take on everything that’s happening right now with the Trump and Musk madness. Beto gave me an update on his latest efforts, told me what he plans to do next, and urged our listeners to continue standing up, and making their voices heard.

This is the way back (2025): *an aroused/involved American people *effective lawsuits *wins in state/local elections *political class finds its footing *falling Republican polling numbers All are starting to happen.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons: 1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply) 2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

Some updates: 1. A federal judge extended a restraining order blocking the National Institutes of Health from cutting research funds until she rules on a permanent injunction. 2. The IRS will not allow a member of Elon Musk’s team to access individual tax returns.

Literally happening as we speak

Putinization of America

The unraveling of Medicare has begun👇

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.
