Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

The cruelty is the point

Want to see advertisers lose MILLIONS this Sunday? A record-setting low for viewers during the Super Bowl would do that. Money talks and bullshit walks.

Republicans are going to pass a budget with one of the biggest deficits in world history.

All right, it is Friday. Trump loves to dump big news on Friday so he can own the news cycle over the weekend. Get in. It's going to be a bumpy ride. :) Remember, we haven't heard from the folks who vow their alligence to the Constitution. Do not discount the feds or the military.

MAGA lost their damn minds over the email lady's private server, but are crickets over Elon's 19-year-old "Big Balls" guy having access to all of our private info.

Hi, I’m God. You all died in 2016. And yes, this is Hell.

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

Bravo

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Donald Trump is daring us to stop him. He is daring the courts and Congress to STOP HIM. If they don’t stop him right the fuck now, they will never be able to. Congress — STAND UP. Do your fucking jobs!!!! I’m calling my pro-Ukraine Republican Rep right now.

Here's a hint, cupcake: he's been lying. Far from draining the swamp, he's creating federally protected wetlands.

ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.

Let’s hope that Tik Tok is disabled tonight at midnight and all day tomorrow and Monday. Which means the biggest story on Monday will be… And the reaction from the newly installed President will be …

Alvin bit my butt last night in bed, when I was wearing my new pajamas for the first time. There are now tiny tooth holes in the butt of my new pajamas that I wore for the first time last night. Alvin is not terribly popular right now.

i am watching clips from the hegseth hearings and it is a goddamn insult to this country that this chucklefuck was even nominated

Republicans: can we please just get back to the good old days when we hired unqualified white rapists before qualified black people?

I’m not even remotely worried about a trans woman being in my bathroom, but I’m fucking sick with worry about a serial sexual abuser being in my White House.

@thepattybee.bsky.social Howdy! Welcome!

Never forget:

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

True story.

Sending best wishes to Nancy Pelosi for a quick recovery and a great outcome. I had my hip replaced at 45 and it was much better than I could have hoped. I wish the same for you, Madam Speaker Emerita.

Love this! And Ethan Frome is one of Wharton's best, for sure!

In case you needed this.

He did it! Congrats to Derek Tran!!

Facts matter. Science saves lives. Anti-science destroys them.

And for the love of all that's good and holy, do not interact directly with the posts! Do what's done here: screenshot!

I’m pretty sure this is not legal. Congressmen can’t trade and make money on their job. Ethics maybe having to take a look

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #literacy #libraries #librarians

BREAKING: Tulsi Gabbard is on a TSA watch list because of her suspicious foreign travel patterns Maybe — just maybe, hear me out here — the nominee for Director of National Intelligence should NOT be someone who made a TSA watch list for her suspicious foreign travel patterns

The proper amount of sage for 2025...

Holy fuck. Seb Gorka is his pick to be senior director for counterterrorism. Seb fucking Gorka, who was denied security clearance in the last Trump administration… Seb fucking Gorka who has ties to a Nazi-allied organization in Hungary… The. Director. Of. Counterterrorism.
