Maybe next time let’s not elect someone who runs because they’re trying to not go to jail?

Dear media, It’s not: “President Trump Discusses Possible Third Term.” It’s: “Kleptocratic Wannabe Dictator Says He Can Serve ‘Third Term’ In Blatant Disregard Of The Constitution He ‘Swore’ An Oath To Defend.” You’re welcome.

THIS! 100% THIS!

I love it when they are called out for their lies under oath the very next day with proof. May justice be swift and brutal. America is less safe with liars like Tulsi Gabbard in positions of authority. #signalgate #whiskeyleaks

I don’t care how secure Signal is. All government communications are required BY LAW to be preserved. They’re using Signal for one reason… messages are deleted one month after being sent. They’re not archived. They know this…. (1/2)

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

The Secretary of Defense shared attack plans on Signal and mistakenly included an Editor from a major news source in his distribution list thereby jeopardising the mission and the lives of Americans responsible for carrying out these orders. His response? Blame the news source. Unbelievable.

👇🏽”That’s not efficiency, it’s cruelty and chaos” @ossoff.bsky.social is really good at this

Casey & Finnegan! I knew that. Grew up in Toledo, close to the border. Love the Never 51 sweater too! #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦

Again... @govpritzker.illinois.gov gets it! Thank you for your leadership and your support of our schools and our children!

My office downtown has one of these available in every single restroom. Yes… even the men’s rooms (note the urinals in the background). And guess what… My straight white male ego was not harmed in any way. My soul was not wounded. My dignity is still in tact. In fact... 1/2

It's amazing how may times I've read or heard news reports that start "Trump claims without evidence..." Everything the man says or tweets is a lie, a grift, a deflection, a loyalty test. Then everyone acts as if he's made a new law that must be accepted. #notaking

My yearly gift to you all on St. Patrick’s Day. One of the best Muppets sketches ever. Enjoy! m.youtube.com/watch?v=OCbu...

Gov JB gets it!

If you want to email Chuck Schumer, it's an easy thing to do. Tell him to vote NO on the CR. And be sure to encourage him to resign immediately if he votes yes. We need leadership, not rubber stampers. www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/mess...

In other words, Trump is telling the US military to draw up plans to attack a sovereign nation. An act of war. We are the "bad guys" in this story.

So yes. I would absolutely be filling my shorts if I looked out my window and saw this.

When you’re fat, every Tuesday is Fat Tuesday.

The @americanbar.org has released another statement calling out the Trump Administration’s attacks on the rule of law: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

So much for that whole first amendment thing, which is clearly less important than the second amendment. How will we define the legality of a protest? What's the line? Also interesting that he believes he can have someone expelled from a school because he says so.

EXACTLY!!! Thank you @repjasmine.bsky.social!!! This is how it is done!!!

I am proud to work for JAMA Network and The American Medical Association. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

In a new Editorial, JAMA editors, JAMA Network Editors in Chief, and JAMA editorial leadership address the recent executive orders that have impacted the scientific process and reaffirm their commitment to scientific and editorial integrity. ja.ma/4b5LsIt

Tea is a really nice drink!! We should explore to see if there's other tasty foods inspired by letters of the alphabet. Not P, but others

Hey all you single-issue voters who are waiting for your single issue to get handled… I hope all this other crap kicks you in the ass the most and the hardest. You deserve it. Smooches!

🧵 US states that implemented abortion bans saw higher than expected infant mortality rates, with larger increases among Black infants and those in southern states, according to this analysis of US national vital statistics data from 2012–2023. ja.ma/4aVchPn #MedSky

I feel this... HARD!
