The truth 👇

Nancy Mace is, among other things, just painfully stupid.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

REPOST if you stand with Maine Governor Janet Mills against Donald Trump!

Trump is trying to take control of the USPS to sabotage mail-in voting because he knows his party can't win fairly. Dismantling a vital public service for political gain is blatant voter suppression. This is an attack on voters' rights. Call your representatives and demand they protect the USPS.

You know this is 100% going to happen…

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

Thanks to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, firefighters who just finished weeks of around-the-clock shifts fighting dangerous fires were given a note from their Commander in Chief: "Please quit." That’s a hell of a way to say thank you.

Hey congressional Republicans, still waiting for you to announce how much you’re cutting from congress’ own $6.5 billion budget….

It’s not a coincidence—it’s a warning.

"Key congressional Republicans have powers they’re choosing not to use... "Senator Susan Collins, for example, believes the White House and DOGE may be breaking the law. She doesn’t, however, seem eager to use her considerable influence..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Trickle up economics.

It’s amazing to me that when Donnie calls himself a king, everyone listens. But when the Supreme Court crowned him king last year, crickets.

It’s amazing how many Republican politicians, Fox hosts, & commentators have come out to strongly disagree with Trump’s statements about Ukraine while none of them even mentioned his name while doing so. Their level of fear and terror of Trump is something to watch.

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees with General Milley that Americans do not owe our allegiance to a King, Queen, or a wannabe dictator. We owe our allegiance to the Constitution. Fuck the nonsense trump says about being a king.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.

It was always America or Trump. Mitch McConnell made his choice a long time ago. Now, his legacy will always be tied to Trump and the attempt to destroy democracy.

That would be a good point except: Unlike Trump, other criminals aren’t hell-bent on, and aren’t in a position to, destroy the Constitution and rule of law. I once represented an armed robber on appeal for free. I’d represent a triple ax-murderer before I’d ever consider representing Trump.

Posted minutes after the Commander of the ISS said Musk lied about the stranded astronauts in his Fox interview with Trump.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

What's the argument against every Democrat refusing to vote for any bill that funds the government while Trump violates the law? No funding for a coup makes sense to me.

If they are that scared, they should resign and let someone else do the job. I am sick of these republicans thinking only of themselves. They were elected to uphold the constitution. If they cannot do that, get the hell out of congress.

Last night MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said Trump was the first U.S. president to “switch sides during a war.” That aptly describes Trump’s betrayal but it can’t begin to convey the depravity of what Trump did in throwing our ally overboard and lying about every facet of Putin’s criminal aggression.

If you were born white, male and in the United States of America, and you still managed to grow up and be frustrated and unhappy, it's you MAGA. It's you. IT'S YOU!

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

Trump posts a fake Time magazine cover with a crown on his head and a headline calling himself a king, while falsely attacking President Zelensky—who is courageously fighting for his country’s survival—as a dictator. This is sick and disgusting rejection of basic human values.

As Trump continues to desecrate the memory of Americans who sacrificed their lives to defend democracy against fascists and dictators…we must hold dear to our knowledge that America’s value is tied to its commitment to freedom and against tyranny. www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-m...

Murphy: "Donald Trump's contempt for the rule of law is unprecedented. What we are all watching right now is Donald Trump throw away the idea that laws apply to everyone equally. And it is astonishing to watch so many of my Republican colleagues fall in line."

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment. Hello?

“Republicans are trying to normalize plane crashes now like school shootings.” ~ @meiselasb.bsky.social

European Parliament member 👇🏽

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Trump will be remembered by future generations as the WORST traitor in American history, and his sycophantic political supporters will be compared to those who decades ago supported Hitler.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

“As far as Mr. Trump is concerned, Russia is not responsible for the war that has devastated its neighbor. Instead, he suggests that Ukraine is to blame for Russia’s invasion of it.” Like all the weakest bullies, Trump specializes in blaming the victim. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

It’s always been about profits.

For the last two days, Sean Duffy has been blaming Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, the Democrats, and anyone else he can think of for the fact that under *HIS* watch, planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. Maybe fewer joyrides to the Daytona 500 and a little more attention paid to transportation.

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

Let me get this straight - now that people see what’s really going on - Elon Musk is suddenly not part of DOGE. 🤔 This is the problem with unchecked power and billionaires in charge.

I am so sick of hearing any Democrat saying they are willing to be “bipartisan” or “reach across the aisle.” Just stop that stupidity. If these fascists want to work with you let them come. Stop acting weak.
