Sen. Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit with pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

Senator Ron Wyden at RFK Jr.'s Senate confirmation hearing for HHS Secretary: "The nominee wrote a book saying that people had been mislead into believing that measles is a deadly disease." He's unfit.

I have never seen anyone flip as quickly as Robert F. Kennedy did on the question of whether a woman has the right to control her own body.

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

Sloppy. We’ve been told they better prepared & well organized for 2.0 but I’m seeing a lot of cracks in the facade and that’s an opportunity for people who love democracy to protect it.

We may not have proof that technological or other forms of interference may have contributed to t-rump's "victory". But, we do know that VOTER SUPPRESSION played a vital role. There is hard proof of it. Democracy cannot thrive like this. @gregpalast.bsky.social youtu.be/0LN65qFUDDo?...

By August 2024, 40,000 self-proclaimed vigilante vote-fraud hunters had already challenged the rights of 852,381 voters — with a target of 2 million before the election. Did the voters decide the 2024 election, or voter suppression? Watch our movie and decide for yourself. youtu.be/P_XdtAQXnGE

Donald Trump didn't put his hand on the Bible when he was swearing the oath of office. Because he's a corrupt piece of trash. What say you, MAGA Christians?

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

This time around, don't allow carnie barker Donald Trump to use attention seeking gimmicks about, say, Greenland, the Panama Canal, or the Gulf of Mexico, to distract from the absence of any real plans to help Americans.

The U.S. government already knows how to be ruthless. Never forget that. This photo of a man on a mountain of bison skulls has circulated for years. Biologist Victor Scheffer said it best: “Nature needs millions of years to create a species; man needs only a few dozen to destroy one.”

Trump protects himself from guns by making all Mar-a-Lago guests go through metal detectors, but blithely refuses to do anything to protect any of your children from guns, lest he annoy the NRA.
