Again, the two most impactful lies of the past half-century have been “Trump is a good businessman” and “Republicans are the good-at-economy party”

Again I am begging people in the media to note the legality of these actions in their headlines or blurbs. A post office is literally written into the constitution.

the self abolishing Congress was a wrinkle I do t think was widely foreseen

Trump's Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, was accused in a 20-page letter to the FEC of working with Russian Intelligence Services in 2018. What's the breaking point, America? It is only a matter of time before the Russian flag is raised over our country.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Remember when tRump was delighted with hang Mike Pence Or that one when they posted President Biden being tied to the back of a truck Now that was a threat Trump posted it ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

🤞 and 🙏 for no more hurricanes or floods.

Most of the people quoted here *are Republicans* afraid of death threats *from their own party leader.* www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Elon Musk got called out by the Commander of the International Space Station for lying about President Biden supposedly leaving them stranded for political reasons. His response? Calling the commander “retarded.” This is what passes for leadership and discourse in 2025? Unreal.

We will never out republican republicans. Democrats should be the party that helps people- and starts with those struggling the most for the common good. Anyone missing this point should be fired from “strategizing” for the party.

President Zelenskyy tears down Trump's lies; states that Trump lives in a Russian Disinformation bubble: "The U.S. has provided Ukraine with $67 billion in military aid and $31 billion in budget support. .... Trump’s $500 billion fossil fuel claim isn’t a serious conversation." #StandWithUkraine 📹🧵

These are dark moments for our nation, but we'll win by standing united against the onslaught of criminality from the highest offices. Don't give up. We're the majority. We'll win OUR America back. The one our founders envisioned. Thank you for speaking up. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

🚨 Republicans talk about their fear that Trump might incite his MAGA followers to commit political violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his actions. So we're bowing to terrorists now⁉️ #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #DemsUnited www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

“I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey. Defiantly, Marc Elias” Be like Marc. #Defiant @marcelias.bsky.social www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here. He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac. This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.

Kash Patel told people not to get the Covid vaccine. People died because of this.

GOP Senators and House members are scared of being murdered by Trump supporters if they don’t support Trump. This is fascism in America. My latest: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

Every aspect of the Rubio-Lavrov talks in Riyadh is bad. Negotiating over the head of Ukraine indicates a sellout. Excluding the Europeans reveals indifference to Ukraine's future economic reconstruction (since the Europeans will pay the largest share).

URGENT: The folks at Americans for Financial Reform are looking for stories from people who’ve been helped by CFPB. Please read this call to action and share far and wide! 🚨 Let’s save CFPB 🚨 Pass it on.

At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees. The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

China believes Gaza and the occupied West Bank are “not a bargaining chip in political trade-offs”, says China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the UN Security Council. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/71yfvl

Because you are sucking up to the owner of your newspaper?

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The top criminal prosecutor in the U.S. attorney's office in Washington quit today, citing pressure by the Trump administration to open what she viewed as an improper criminal probe of a federal contract. ca.news.yahoo.com/senior-u-pro...

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

FBI cancels community outreach programs for seniors

Musk et. al. are just unloved children cosplaying what they think masculinity is. It’s embarrassing.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history. The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists. Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?

Z seems to be going into these negotiations as someone who is very aware of what he is dealing with in the American president.

Three men wearing MAGA hats and Department of Government Efficiency T-Shirts stormed several offices inside San Francisco City Hall Friday demanding that workers hand over documents, the Sheriff’s Office said.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Because I learned I missed one, making a list of Pete Hegseth's crashes: Hegseth confirmed: 1/25 F-35, AK: 1/28 Black Hawk, DC: 1/29 Surveillance plane, Philippines: 2/6 Growler, Sand Diego: 2/12 USS Truman, Egypt: 2/13
