Gotta love all the far right Republicans that scream and complain and vow that they aren’t voting for the one big beautiful bill and then they all capitulate. Grow some damn spines.

What did you expect when you elected someone whose only interests are staying out of jail, lining his pockets, and seeking revenge against his enemies. This is exactly what you voted for, team MAGA.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

I’m sorry but I’m still thinking about the Secretary of Defense texting “We are currently clean on OPSEC” to a group chat that, unbeknownst to him, included the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic magazine.

I was glad to see that people were excited that a national committee for Democrats used the word fuck. We typically use the word fuck anywhere from 10 to 50 times a day in our free daily newsletter which is going on six years now. If you want a good and free resistance newsletter please join us 💙💙💙💙

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Reminder: When you invest in the American people, the middle class expands, and the economy grows. When you cut taxes on the rich, the rich get richer, and the gains don’t trickle down. It’s that simple.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.

Trump’s chief of staff was a corporate lobbyist. His pick for transportation secretary lobbied for airlines. The richest person in the world and another billionaire will run a new department of “efficiency.” They’re telling us exactly who they will work for.

Ben Stein was a traditional Republican who understood how economies work. Trump’s Republican Party has no friggin clue. We need to collectively stop the reflexive statements that Republicans are better for the economy. That is lazy and a lie. #Trumponomics are terrible for America.
