$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

🎯🎯🎯

"The opposition is the majority."

Did you know? Republicans want to cut $880 BILLION from Medicaid to pay for a massive $4.5 TRILLION tax cut for their billionaire donors! Let that sink in for a minute…

If you're rich, we've got great news for you! If you're not, fuck you!

Looks like "Five Nights of Lee Greenwood Performs the Ave Maria on a Korg" kickoff series was sadly a predictable flop.

One of the more entertaining outcomes of having incompetent grifters and lunatics in charge of the Colorado Republican Party for most of recent memory is that their candidate recruitment program is...horrific.

There's a scientific reason for this! Same applies to tomato juice!

Courage and bravery, or capitulation and appeasement. Those are the only choices with a mob boss in the White House. Maine is lucky to have a fighter in their Governor and AG.

Imagine getting triple dunked on by fucking astronauts on your own website lol

One month after inauguration Musk's main source of wealth has lost 20% of its value.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

The part they're not telling you: this was a resolution decrying Trump's pardons of the January 6 rioters. Colorado State House Republicans, deep in the minority, literally turn their backs on law enforcement officers assaulted that day.

Irony ouroboros

Bad. Ass.

Days without a senior Trump advisor performing a nazi salute in public: 0️⃣

There's a certain former Republican US Senator who lost his job because his constituents demanded he host a town hall meeting to explain why he was serving Trump instead of the state that elected him and that state *hasn't elected a Republican to a statewide office since*

Saluted Hitler yesterday, invited to speak at CO GOP fundraiser today

This is the most conflicted and corrupt regime in American history and it isn't even close.

Maybe it's just the opening shot of Trump's DARE reboot don't you think we should give them the benefit of the doubt

Uh holy shit.

@mluckovich.bsky.social is undefeated

Some of the best political reporting of this era is coming not from @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com or @politico.com, but @wired.com is absolutely eating all of their lunches every day. www.wired.com/story/doge-i...

Fucking heinously irresponsible, and dumb as hell considering most natural disasters occur in red states now. They want to cut 84% of the staff at HUD that rebuilds after catastrophe in the midst of climate change fueled disaster after climate change fueled disaster.

One month in and the honeymoon is already almost over. And the horrible shit they've been doing hasn't even hit most regular people's lives yet.

Just barely a month in and the material consequences of their slash and burn campaign haven't even materialized yet. Democrats will have an historic opportunity to capitalize on this in 2026. We're talking Senate seats in states we haven't won since 2008 and getting rid of the worst Rs in congress.

Former NFL player @chriswarcraft.bsky.social causes some good trouble by calling out MAGA as the nazi movement it is at Huntington Beach city council. That's called using your privilege folks.

Where's this bravery now?

Roughly 0.00038% of his net worth of approximately $393 billion. That's equivalent to $0.38 to someone who makes $100,000/year. And it might work.

Folks in #CO08, please get the word out to friends and neighbors on this. Your Republican congressman is not representing your interest.

Strikingly missing from this list is the Republican Congressman from Colorado's 8th district, the most heavily Latino AND largest recipient of Medicaid dollars, the soon-to-be-one-term Gabe Evans.

I really don't understand why pundits don't understand this. MANY of you have better platforms than any Democrat this side of AOC. If you spend all your time whining (some more) about Democrats, then you are being just as feckless, you are giving the GOP just as much of a pass, as the Dems are.

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

The battle lines are drawn. Trump's budget guts Medicaid (healthcare for 41.7 millions adults & 37.6 million kids across the country!) in order to cut taxes for his billionaire cronies.

Planes are crashing because Trump and Musk wanted to cut their own taxes even more. Say it over and over and over again until it sinks into people's brains and they correctly associate every crash with two billionaires who never fly commercial.

We don't accept that this was even a mistake. This crew is known to throw shit at the walls and flood the zone with lies they know many will make contact with, believe without evaluating critically, and then spread to friends and family at will for ever and ever, further justifying their project.

If they didn't care about making more money, they wouldn't be strip mining the entire country for trillions in tax cuts for billionaires.

If you’ve been scolded by the Pope AND by the Auschwitz Memorial in the same week, it’s time to take a minute and reconsider your choices.
