The opposition needs to hold a daily press briefing of their own (Capitol steps?) to call attention to what's actually happening. We need a coherent & clear voice. Would be better if it was someone who could focus solely on the message and isn't engaged in the daily grind of Congress. (Buttigieg?)

Welp. I guess we're now officially on the Russian side, and while Trump was just tacitly a Putin mouthpiece before he's full steam ahead now. This is pretty much worst-case scenario.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

Public service is not a “lower productivity” endeavor. It is the foundation of our democracy, and its value is incalculable. #holdtheline #forkoff

Think firing the entire federal workforce will save America money? Federal civilian employees account for just 4% of the federal budget. Even if someone like Musk—or any president—fired all of us, it wouldn’t make much of a dent in government spending. Don’t fall for it.

From a post by @theliamnissan.bsky.social on Twitter. "Lauren Boebert calling for the abolishment of the Department of Education is like chlamydia speaking out about the dangers of antibiotics."

I know we can’t run around on fire every time Trump says something but he appears to have just announced the new US policy on Gaza which is to take ownership of it, ethnically cleanse it of the 1.8 million Palestinians there and maintain a long term ownership stake as it’s “developed.”

Elon musk isn’t elected. He’s a Nazi nepo baby who breaks everything he touches. And right now he’s locked himself in a room with grandpa’s Social Security check.

RFK Jr. gave the worst answer ever to the question, "what would you do with a time machine?"

A good listen. While it's easy to be mad at Trump supporters, perhaps understanding where that support comes from would be a better way to combat it. www.instagram.com/reel/DCPka3a...

Has there ever been a bigger fucking cry baby in the history of time?

The “free speech defenders,” ladies and gentlemen.

My heart is broken. Mostly I've been angry lately, but today I'm just very very sad. We are losing everything that makes America great and replacing it with hate and stupidity. The America I know and love will never be the same. I'm so very very sad. This is a tragic loss.

I'd like to politely tell Sen. Tubberville to go f*$# himself. The guy who's qualification was being a football coach has the audacity to tell California that we shouldn't get financial aid because we vote in "imbeciles"? Glass houses Tommy! Per $1 sent, AL gets back over $2, while CA only gets 88¢

This is what the incoming president is doing. Taking some misguided victory lap as LA burns. Has he uttered a single well wish for the millions of people in this city or is that only reserved for those who display sufficient fealty?
