Never forget the simple truth. Republicans are not “accidentally” trying to dismantle democracy.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

So maybe this isn’t real, or it WAS real until a grownup found out about DOGE’s latest.

So we’re gonna screw over the Etsy businesses but Apple gets exempted.

HOW IS IT EVEN REOMOTELY LEGAL FOR X TO BE THE PUBLIC FACE OF SSA? NO! THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

Attention Clark County, Washington!!! Someone needs to primary and investigate her finances!!!

Vaccines don’t cause autism. They never have. They won’t magically start in September.

This tracks.

These pulpit pounding pieces of shit never surprise. Every accusation is a confession.

Make no mistake — the Trump administration is refusing to comply with the Supreme Court as it pertains to Abrego Garcia's release. This is where we are now. This is what they are doing. This is only the beginning.

And here’s why we should all oppose and be concerned about the SAVE Act (and yes, I know that this may not be timely for all of you but maybe it is new for some too): apnews.com/article/cong...

🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣😹🤣😜

Since ARKANSAS Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is who came to help push Gov. Lee’s voucher scam — let’s see how things are going with their program… 🤔 arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

If they indeed get rid of 87% of Social Security regional staff the midterms will be an utter blowout. It’s not just seniors who will be livid, but their kids.

"Won't happen" because they say it won't happen...like all the other stuff they said won't happen...everyone's saying it. We got years of abuse ahead of us.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

We shouldn’t be making it harder to VOTE in this nation. In Oregon we register to vote when we get our license and we each get mailed out ballot where we can make our votes and return our ballots for free in the mail or at a ballot box location. It works.

Well said, and the truth hurts like hell…

remember everyone who called obama and biden “tyrants”? you have my personal permission to tell them all to get fucked with pointy pinecones

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

@booker.senate.gov: "For a guy who spends the weekend on his golf course and brags to the media about him winning a tournament while the struggling-- this is the kind of gross arrogance of a Marie Antoinette saying, "let them eat cake" ... Screw him for telling people to accept pain."

They are trying…and making headway toward their goal every day…to squeeze every last breath out of the lungs of democracy. At that point, they plan to stomp on the lifeless corpse. You already know that, but sometimes it helps to see it in print. If we let it slip away…it’s gone forever.

Oh, the irony 😂—talk about paid protesters! MAGA has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk in Pennsylvania, alleging he failed to pay individuals who gathered signatures for a petition during the 2024 presidential campaign.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

The House bill, titled the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, passed by a vote of 220 to 208. It would require states to obtain in-person proof of citizenship—such as a passport or birth certificate—from individuals seeking to register to vote.

My son and daughter got social Security payments because their mother died at 35. Jen earned that money and the family needed that little extra boost each month having lost a breadwinner. These people trying to shame recipients are monstrous.

The SAVE Act is voter suppression. Over 900K Oregon women whose name doesn't match their birth certificate could be ineligible to vote. 45.1% of Oregonians without a passport could have to pay over $236M just to register. I didn't just vote 'No' – I intro'd a bill that makes it easier to vote.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

I used to be naive and believe that a right, once granted, could not be taken away. And then we watched it happen to women across the nation. I assume nothing now, nor should you.

It's outrageous that they gave Trump the powers trusted to them in the Constitution, even if just on an "emergency wink-wink basis" It's unconscionable that they're now proposing a way to block themselves from taking their rightful powers back.
