This is what I’ve been talking about - a lot of the GOP disagrees vehemently with what Trump is doing. They’re just too scared to do anything about it. Bunch of damn cowards.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you. Senator Van Hollen lives this attitude – and planted hope in hopelessness. (I’m not crying, you’re crying.)

FACT: Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian army’s invasion of Ukraine, to which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded by ordering Ukraine’s army to defend their country, which became the Russian-Ukraine war being blamed on Ukraine by the current Russian puppet POTUS.

Just because I couldn't attend a protest rally against trump's policies don't think for a minute I support them! My support is behind those in the streets.

#ProudBlue We've sunk this low: our news sources are afraid to cover a protest by >5M Americans in 1,200 individual locations incl. the one I went to in HI. They fear reprisals from Trump. In our whole history it's been the task of news orgs. to tell us the truth, regardless. They should be ashamed.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Oh. It does. 😤

So the basic proposal, if I’m following correctly, is to wrench the whole American consumer economy back to Gilded Age protectionism by means of Executive fiat, right now, tonight, while Congress tries to relieve the tax burden on some rich people but everyone else goes on paying income taxes too.

Well damn, Rep. Jasmine Crockett kept it all the way 100, and with no fucks given… — this was awesome! 🔥👏🏼👏🏼

I don't want Canada or Greenland… I want PBS, Social Security, and The Smithsonian. CAN YOU SAY THE SAME?! 🤚

Considering his Legal & Ethical record, you would think the painting would be the lowest priority for this 34 times convicted, perpetual grievance monkey. Turns out, you would be wrong... #Pathetic 😁

Any security professional - military, government or otherwise - would be fired on the spot for this type of conduct and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information.

It’s not about “DEI.”

Supporting racist Nazi’s while slashing funding to the most vulnerable and cutting jobs to thousands of Americans does not have America’s best interests at heart.

Trump and Republicans have awakened a sleeping giant—and they will regret it. REPUBLICAN TOWN HALL CHANT: “Tax the rich, tax the rich, tax the rich…”

📌As a vet, seeing the removal of the sacrifice and commitment of Black soldiers, sailors and airmen/women by a draft-dodger is one of the most revolting, racist things I have seen in my long lifetime. It is sickening and not what this country is supposed to stand for, or what I served to protect.

Dear Elon, This isn’t violence, this is tourism at its finest. Signed, Americans tired of your 🐂💩 and your 🐂💩 Swasticars

Someone you love depends on Medicaid for their healthcare, homecare, longterm care, therapies & more. But, cruel & heartless Trump, Musk & Republicans want to cut Medicaid to fund generous tax cuts for their wealthy donors. Call your member of Congress! Tell them to SAVE MEDICAID! 📞 (202) 224-3121

Since the hostile MAGA takeover of the Kennedy Center, ticket sales are down by over 50%, many artists have cancelled their shows and donations have dried up. Good, no one wants to see demagogue trash pretend to know art.

Very mad

Well that’s a headline I did not except to see. Ever.

Ummm… 👇 See the problem?!

Didn't Schumer push for Biden to leave for the good of the party and the country? Shouldn't he do the same thing for the same reason?

Donald, bring it. I’m so tired of your victimy whiney belly aching crap. You friggin won and you STILL are complaining all the time. BRING IT YOU SMALL LITTLE BOY

The TESLA (a/k/a "TESLER") TAKEDOWN is working... WORLDWIDE! Turns out people really resent an unelected weirdo running our Government & creating economic chaos. Hit Elmo where it really hurts: in his big, fat wallet. If we #TankTesla, It's Ex-X! (a/k/a Twitter) #WinWin Visit www.takedowntesla.com

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

Reminder: DOGE isnt real. Its a fake department. Fugazi

Now that money laundering fraud Robert Morris has been indicted with raping a 12 year d girl, the American state media are trying their hardest not to mention that he was also a former spiritual MAGA adviser for the orange felon. I’m not afraid to mention it. Birds of a feather.

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie? Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care. They are the new face of the opposition.

We are living in very dangerous, unusual times. Today, the White House ignored a ruling by a Federal District Court because we have President who is an ignorant buffoon with no respect for the law or the Constitution. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!

I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status. I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.
