Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

1. Short everything 2. Announce tariffs 3. Close out short positions 4. Buy the dip 5. Call off the tariffs 6. Sell the spike 7. Repeat Is there any reason to believe Trump's entire inner circle isn't doing this?

NO KINGS NO SLAVES NO NAZIS... ...is also the best positive argument for the ideals of America itself. It works on all levels.

We've been, correctly, beating them up for not doing anything. Today they did something and they deserve credit. Nice job, Dems. More, please.

The flip-side of this that Dems often ignore: I still have a generally positive feeling toward Newsom years later because of his leadership on gay marriage. He was exiled from the party at the time - it seems to have worked out all right for him in the long run.

If the US does not act now, critical stockpiles of copies of X-Men #1, Ken Griffey Jr. Upper Deck rookie cards, Pogs, and Beanie Babies could be amassed by adversary nations, undermining US dominance in strategic industries.

Andrew Cuomo has shooters on here based solely on the fact that they saw him make angry faces while wearing a special little disaster windbreaker on TV and it really illustrates how Trump's success in American politics is not really an aberration at all

the DOJ politely asked for the classified documents' return for two years before appointing a special prosecutor. when joe biden was found with a couple old documents in his garage, garland appointed a special prosecutor within six days.

Everywhere I’ve ever been, you could always just walk in whatever bathrooms there were. It’s not like they card at the door. The social stigma against being a creepy pest is all that ever stopped you, and that doesn’t change because trans people exist and need to use the bathroom sometimes.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

I remain aghast that Democrats cannot seem to gain traction or find effective messaging when the opposition is pro-Measles, pro-Putin, and so chaotic that no one has any idea who’s actually running the government right now. It’s just infuriating how feckless Democrats have been this past month.

There’s an argument that Trump is/was ineligible to be president. It’s at least as strong as (I would say much, much stronger than) the argument against birthright citizenship. What about the argument that pardons by an illegitimate president are ineffective? Might be important in the aftermath.

It’s the only way. And not just some of them—every single Democrat needs to boycott it.

For folks asking if I'm going to attend Trump's joint address to Congress next week: no. Instead, I'm choosing to hear directly from Oregonians and will be hosting an open-to-all town hall on Facebook live. Oregonians can submit questions in advance here:

i hope more than anything what people learn from this 2nd trump term is that the capitalist class are aligned and they want you to have less rights and only want you to exist to generate profit for them

The United States doesn’t support Ukraine as a favor, but because it serves our security. Putin is a dictator, not Zelensky. Putin started the war, not Zelensky. Yelling in the Oval Office and siding with Putin is shameful and a danger to democracy around the world.

It’s a government version of the accusation of “virtue-signaling” and is just as ridiculous. Who cares if people do good stuff to make themselves look good? The good stuff still gets done!

I think if you don't want to buy things from major retailers today or any day that is great, and I would also love for everyone to remember that successful movements usually need to involve labor, and to start thinking of yourself as a worker first and a consumer second

BREAKING The SEC has just halted its fraud prosecution of Justin Sun, a Chinese national who has put more than $50 million in Trump's pocket since November through the purchase of crypto tokens from a Trump-backed company, World Liberty Financial.

This is an enormous scandal on par and maybe worse than the Eric Adams scandal.

now would be a good time for liberals to make a massive investment in progressive media. decades of relying on the ny times/wapo/ap/cnn has been a failure and they're now more right-wing than ever. everything is turning into a miniature fox news and liberals dont want to put money into this.

Some “moderate” Republicans flipped & ended up supporting this evil budget resolution. They voted to cut Medicaid & services their constituents depend on. The budget fight isn’t over. But if you are represented by any of these people that voted yes.. make sure they hear from you.

This is extremely, extremely bad. Our legal system cannot function if the govt retaliates — and if courts allow it to retaliate — against lawyers who take matters the govt disfavors.

With another set of news headlines about political elites using “””Roman salutes””” I just want to note that the Nazi salute means “I want to murder your family” and the n-word means “I want to lynch you.” That’s what they mean, they make me righteously angry, and I won’t let anybody minimize them.

A lot of people who’ve posted that “I don’t know how to explain that you should care about other people” quote need to know that they should care about other people. I want my tax dollars to go to paying for insulin for the most vile MAGA asshole you ever heard of; that’s part of “everyone”.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

Literally have no clue how the media isn't covering this story 24/7 when its tailormade for ratings too given how TMZ'd people are with everything. This is one of the worst human beings in the country and he's co-president and the press just refuses to cover it in any meaningful way.

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.
