If stuff like this keeps happening, people are going to start thinking there was some truth to Trump being in the pocket of Russia.

How are YOU feeling about the Republican party leading America away from our traditional alliances and into alliance with Russia, North Korea, Hungary, and other anti-democracy parties?

Everyday, someone new sees the entire circus and realizes it can never look the same again. Trump is a con man who will literally do and say anything for a buck. Everyday, more people figure it out. Once you see the clown, then you see the whole circus.

If you're worried about the deficit, you should be worried about what Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy are going to do to it.

Today's a great day to end your subscription to the Washington Post and cancel Amazon Prime. Jeff Bezos is taking the bet that not enough people will care that he's cozying up to a wildly corrupt and lawless president in the hope that he'll get to be one of the Trump oligarchs like Elon.

Wisconsin's private school "choice" programs cost taxpayers $572.1 million in the 2023-24 school year. That's a 132% increase from just 8 years prior. Over 6 times as many kids attend public school vs private. We cannot afford to keep funding these 2 separate, unequal systems.

Thanks to Trump, this is just apparently going to keep happening. Imagine if Republicans would focus on public safety instead of obsessing over who is using which bathroom. www.reuters.com/business/aer...

On the plus side, the voters in Germany were able to keep their Nazis out of power for another election. Meanwhile in America, Elon Musk still hasn't apologized for his Nazi salute and most elected Republicans are still refusing to condemn the white supremacists in their ranks. More work to do 🇺🇸.

Just think: the US Supreme Court continues to allow the authoritarian takeover of America just so they can get luxury vacations, houses, RVs, and lavish lifestyles that in any other public role in government would rightly be called a bribe.

Here we go. Certain generals must be removed before any martial law plan is put into action—as Trump and Hegseth are worried there may still be some generals out there who support the Constitution rather than his proposed dictatorship. This is a political purge intended as a precursor to far more.

Gotta say, everyday that goes by, I'm feeling more and more nostalgic for the halcyon days when people elected their leaders to keep a check on corporations instead of now where corporations elect leaders to keep a check on the people.

Happy Election Day! I voted for Jill Underly for Superintendent of Public Instruction because she has been advocating for programs and funding to catch Wisconsin kids up from the lost decade of Scott Walker.

14 years ago, all 14 Democratic Senators left the state to prevent a quorum on Scott Walker's "budget repair bill" that sought to strip state workers of their power so he could be unimpeded in his efforts to break our public schools, public services, and other public goods. quick 🧵

The folks who devote their lives to serving our community deserve our respect and gratitude. Elon Musk and Donald Trump think Americans have grown so daft, they’re willing to believe that those in public service to our country are the greedy ones.

Another day, another affirmation that Trump’s attacks on our communities are unconstitutional. But restraining orders and pauses are temporary. We need individuals within institutions to have more permanent courage, refusing to crumble under the first of many assaults. thehill.com/regulation/c...

POTUS and his allies want you to be afraid of anyone who doesn't look or think like them. No place is that more apparent than immigration policy. They talk a lot about going after criminals and gang members. They hope you won't notice that they're actually targeting people like Yessenia Ruano.

Do you support Donald Trump removing dozens of independent inspectors General, responsible for overseeing agencies and detecting and preventing waste, fraud, and abuse?

They aren't even pretending to go after fraud and abuse. In fact, Trump and Musk illegally SHUT DOWN the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which was created in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis to protect consumers from fraud.

The President is shutting down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). All it is has done since its founding in 2011 is save taxpayers over $17.5 billion by holding big business accountable and protecting citizens from fraud. So much winning going on that I can’t keep track. 🤦🏼‍♂️

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.' A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."
