Oh yeah, we're freaking doomed. How is he still leader??? Come on, Dems... for Chrissakes...

Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters — including a former GOP Congressman and two reality TV stars.  He's also dropped or halted 100+ enforcement actions against corporate offenders — including 34 companies that funded his inauguration. Is this being "tough on crime"?

Donald has spent the last week pardoning his friends who defrauded Medicare, union pensions, banks, and more. This is what “fraud and abuse” actually looks like. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

Five subtle signs your President or Prime Minister may be a bit of an autocrat: 1) He doesn’t respect the rule of law. 2) He disappears people. 3) He accepts large “gifts” when it is inappropriate. 4) He is dishonest 5) He leads an insurrection to try to keep power.

Couple thoughts on this Ukrainian operation: 18 months of planning with no leaks is crazy impressive. The intelligence picture, the OpSec, and the execution were all top notch. I’m curious to see what else they have planned, and yes I’m worried about how Russia will respond.

To put it mildly

White Christian Nationalist Senator Joni Ernst from Iowa flippantly told a town hall member “we are all going to die sometime “ in response to Medicaid cuts. In her sarcastic apology she doubled down by saying those who want to live forever can do so by embracing Jesus. Vote this heartless skank out

Listen to me Make it loud and make me proud... When enough of us say, that's it... It's over

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

The National Association of the Deaf says the White House's failure to provide ASL interpreters during press briefings leaves some deaf and hard of hearing people without information.

from today's post, about Mad King Donny's stunning losing streak in court, and all the doughy Republican pantloads filling their diapers about it. please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/3HbYk4W (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

The chances of them being extradited are next to zero.

Ya think? What gave it away? 🤷🏼

The Court just ruled Trump’s global tariffs were “ultra vires” and “contrary to law.” Translation? He made it all up. No authority. Just vibes and ego. This is what happens when you let a wannabe authoritarian play president. You tell it, congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.

He interjects himself into global conflicts/warzones/ governments wo oversight. He acts not as a citizen but as a king unto himself His ambitions to control space/transport/energy/ communication/population dynamics are not visionary—they’re dystopian. economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/interna...

Very. Accurate. And. Powerful. 😎✨

Good thing for Putin he has such a good friend in WH to run cover for him while he continues to bomb civilians.

Know This. A Half Truth And A Partial Truth Is The Same As A Lie.

Trump is the head of a criminal syndicate, and he should be treated accordingly. https://trib.al/f6NvJbi

To win a war they cannot avoid, Chief Justice Roberts and his allies must rediscover their belief in a simple notion: The American president is not above the law. https://trib.al/a8yDDyu

The ugly Trump bill would leave 14 million people without insurance and decimate the Affordable Care Act which has been Trump’s obsession. The new bill would create bureaucratic hurdles for enrollment, and make it harder to reenroll. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

look, I may not agree with everything our president says, but I will defend to the death his right to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and thrown straight the fuck into prison

According to our A$$hole-in-Chief, every one of these, WHO GAVE THEIR ALL, is a sucker & loser. And you wonder why I spit EVERY DAY on the Supreme Court, the Republican Tea Party and every MAGA cult voter who has brought our once-proud nation to this 3rd World shithole country status?

Who ever thought of Republicans as fiscally responsible? Trump cost us 25% of all Debt in US history since 1776 last time with tax cuts for the 1% now he's doing it again by taking healthcare away from millions. If there's nothing in the budget for the people who actually pay federal taxes; why pay?
