It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Depressing brilliance from my pal Ruben Bolling.

lol

200 million dollars of waste.

The worst part of this North Korean style sycophancy is that we all know Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this and Trump knows Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

This is the guy the big parties want us to share AUKUS nuclear powered subs with. Who turns on a dime to attack allies without conscience or truth, rewriting events, careless of all the lives lost & wounded by a tyrant leading an illegal invasion. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Take J. Edgar Hoover and then make him 30 times worse. The whole nation will suffer for this folly. Suffer so much more than anyone yet realizes. This was a critical benchmark Trump had to hit to advance his plan to destroy democracy. Everyone who voted for Kash Patel should live in infamy forever.

Here’s a good model for responding to this dipshit’s letters:

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

“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

A lot of people now see that Musk is a vile extremist. But many still struggle to accept that he is also an oblivious fool. Once you actually listen to what he has to say about the world, you realize it’s all faux-visionary nonsense layered on top of profound ignorance.

This.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social step out of the way. You are not up to the job. Let @aoc.bsky.social and @jasmineforus.bsky.social take the lead.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

how is hakeem jeffries more out of touch than his 80 year old predecessor ????

Whenever Annabel Crabb , Channel 9 or the Murdoch Press do a puff piece on Peter Dutton telling everyone he is really a nice bloke and has a soft side this image should be enough to convince anyone that what they are saying is BS

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

The governor of Missouri eliminates diversity, equity, and inclusion in a ceremony with five white men and one white woman… I’m surprised they let her in.

Elon's laughing at Black and Brown immigrants being completely chained up for a flight while the White House calls it ASMR. Hell is too good for this bastard.

You know what to do

Under His Eye

The thing about super rich people is that they famously don’t care about money, excellent point

Another fiery exchange from Judge Reyes in the trans military case:

Here’s the thing. Every one of these people in tears heard Trump on the stump before Nov. They knew he was cruel. But they were fine with it, thinking he’d only hurt the people they didn’t like. The problem with cruelty—It spreads. You don’t get to control it. Sooner or later, it comes for you too.

This is how it's done.

Over at the other place, JD Vance is calling me a ‘dummy’ for pointing out his administration’s attacks on journalists and free speech here at home. Musk literally today called for the jailing of CBS journalists. The VP clearly has a lot of time on his hands.

Mark my words: if The Democrats do not ban corporate and dark money from the primary process, Elon Musk will start to spend money in Democratic primaries in 2026 and beyond.

Why would we abandon the prosperous, democratic nations of Europe, our allies for one hundred years, to "partner" with weak, poor Russia, a longtime adversary and dictatorship currently in the middle of an unprovoked invasion of a neighboring state? Treason. It's treason

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

Tom Homan can’t find enough illegal immigrants to deport because they fabricated the ‘crisis,’ so now he’s just gonna spend all his time attacking AOC.
