Despite politicians appearing in East Palestine for photo-ops, a reminder that two years later Congress has done nothing. Vice President JD Vance has gotten himself a lot of press delivering platitudes, but he never actually got anything passed.

Since the FBI appears to be the only agency that is both still functioning and not headed by a lunatic, the Washington Field Office needs to open an investigation into the breach of the computer systems at Treasury, stat

Bravo, Pete!

Excellent post

Would you be ok if Pete Hegseth was named Principal of your kid's school?

Please share these with everyone you know. TY. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This is one of the vilest things he did yesterday!

THESE are the people that Donald Trump just pardoned. Meanwhile, one of Joe Biden's final acts was to grant a preemptive pardon to the POLICE OFFICERS that dared to testify to Congress. #J6Pardons

War on Ukraine: not ended in 24 hours Domestic terrorists: freed Prescription drug prices: raised Egg prices: unchanged

And of course @SarahLongwell25 is smart. She is an alumna of Kenyon College.

Pls spend from now until Tuesday eve celebrating a truly great American: Martin Luther King Jr. Don't let a racist adjudicated rapist take away from MLK Day!

Things to reflect on: None of us is alone. It's OK and normal to grieve, to be angry, sad. But when you've given yourself time to feel all those negative things, then it's time to focus on what you can do to resist. Together we have power. Together we are a force with which to be reckoned. Onward!

Billionaires already have too much power over our government. Giving Elon Musk an office in the White House will give him more control to bully elected officials into doing whatever he wants. And he's not going to use that power to lower the price of food, rent, healthcare, or anything else.

The best thing you can do is starve Meta for revenue. Never click on or buy anything through their ads. Never pay for an ad to sell a product or advertise an event. Never do anything again that will put one cent in Mark Zuckerberg's pocket!

Follow the law, release the reports. Just as AG Garland released special counsel Hur's report on Biden's handling of classified documents, the AG should now release David Weiss's report on Hunter Biden, and Jack Smith's report on Trump and Jan. 6 and on Trump's handling of classified documents.

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

Wow, this is evil. The ability to manage your own 'coming out' is a sacred fucking right. So, kids in Ohio don't even have the right to stay 'in the closet' anymore? Fucking *wow*.

Since Musk is going to be President, please repost if you'd like to see his income taxes. And while we're looking into his income taxes, let's get him to produce his birth certificate, too.

Not ONE single Democrat should vote to confirm ANY of Trump’s nominees. Like and share if you agree!! Your turn.

Please read and share this everywhere. Talking points & resources to push back against the RFK, Tulsi, Patel, Hegseth & Bondi nominations. Social media toolkit included! Pass it on.

The billionaire power grab is real. And it’s working.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

“Trump lied about an election being stolen and then sicked a mob on the Capitol. It's funny that you roll your eyes at this, Kevin, because you're the one who went down and resurrected him...We elected the most dangerous....human being that America has ever elected. And Kevin, you helped him."

And MAGA is proud of it!

KEEP TULSI GABBARD FAR AWAY FROM NATIONAL SECURITY ‼️ NEW: Nearly 100 former national security officials slammed Trump’s pick of Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence. The letter, obtained by NBC News, urged senators to “carefully evaluate” whether Gabbard is fit for the role.

CRITICAL UPDATE🚨 #ASafeChoice doctors provide medication abortion via telehealth for women across the country. You do not need to be pregnant to obtain medication. Preemptive prescriptions to keep on hand. Go to asafechoicenetwork.com

If Matt Gaetz DIDNT rape a minor, the GOP would have released the report. Just fyi

In Knox County, Ohio, a retired gas executive, a shadowy grassroots group and a controversial media company are spreading misinformation while turning residents against a proposed solar farm — and each other.

At this point, democrats have to concentrate on stopping the ones that will do the most damage. Forget the distraction nominees. Focus on the serious threats. Gaetz, Gabbard and Hegseth remain the most problematic.

Lee: When Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was up for confirmation or when VP Harris was added to the ticket, they called them DEI hires. They want you to believe that Harvard graduate with over 20 years of experience is not qualified but Fox personality is qualified to run the DOD
