. The president can’t take bribes, payouts, or hustle side biz while in office because 1) It’s literally illegal (see the Bribery Statute, 18 U.S.C. § 201) 2) The Constitution says no gifts from foreign governments (Emoluments Clause) 3) I can’t even believe that I have to explain this 🥴😮‍💨 .

EVER

. Can everyone stand up already? .

. So he fires Mike Waltz But Pete Hegseth still has a job?!?! Make it make fucking sense! .

LET'S SHARE THE CRAP OUT OF THIS!

Republican Senator Thom Tillis just said he’s not comfortable voting for Trump’s nominee for US Attorney Ed Martin after it was revealed he went on a white nationalist podcast.

Even as Trump falsely accuses Democrats of accepting foreign cash, he takes $30 million dollars from a corrupt Chinese investor under investigation by the SEC. How long until that investigation quietly disappears? #LockHimUp #TrumpFail is.gd/zUfPXU

See the problem here?

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Raskin: We've got a guy who wants to act like a mob boss and use all of the resources of the taxpayers, all of the resources of the government in order to coerce people into doing his will

@amyklobuchar.com So she can if she wants to www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Abuses of the tax code was one of the items in the original impeachment case against Nixon. Using the tax code to selectively target enemies - and decimate civil society - is the next step in the authoritarian agenda.

Was down in Mexico city last year, and had a beer with a guy from Iceland, who was doing basically what these students were: a world tour without a fixed schedule. It seemed incredibly cool, and also something that can get you locked up when you try to enter America.

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

🪧Hundreds showed up for the Greenville protest today with powerful words from Rep Wendell Jones. The next Spartanburg demonstration is May 3 from 4-6pm at 180 Magnolia Street hosted by @resistspartanburg #greenville #spartanburg #scpol #upstatesc #50501 #handsoff #handsoffprotest

Who would have ever guessed that the man who insisted on innocence while spending tens of millions to avoid proving it in court would declare people guilty while spending tens of millions to avoid proving it in court.

I saw this graphic and wanted to check the numbers. I didn't know that Trump had been charged with 88 felonies and pleaded the 5th 440 times. The first link from People Magazine (not a radical political source) shows all of the charges. The 1st comment has the 5th pleading's data. shorturl.at/gO8lV

What is the end game? The way the federal government is being damaged feels like someone is playing hearts and has decided to shoot the moon. If someone has a high heart, they can be stopped. So what happens if they do shoot the moon. We shuffle the cards and deal the next hand.

Thank you to everyone resisting!!!! Thank you to everyone protesting!!! It feels good to see more & more support! I love how you are letting others know that they are NOT alone & people DO care!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ If you are protesting/resisting you are part of the solution!! #THANKYOU #Resist #Protest

💯 this!!!

Forgot to take a pic at the scene but my hubby and I stood in DeMotte, IN again today with these signs. People brought us water, a young lady told us she has a group of high school friends who want to join us next time, and the positives were better than negatives. Don’t write off the heartland.

The U.S. opposed a UN resolution condemning Russian aggression against Ukraine, claiming it "doesn’t help achieve peace." Let’s be clear: this has nothing to do with achieving peace — it’s about excusing Russian war crimes and undermining Ukrainian sovereignty. All-time low. Yikes.

When Trump ingnores Law, we ignore his fake Immunity It works 2 ways. @aoc.bsky.social

What RFK Jr. said was reprehensible. He should be ashamed of himself and step down.

Definitely let's put these people in charge: "During the tour, an incensed Lewandowski pushed to fire an official who briefly turned his back on Noem while answering a question from another person in the group. "Lewandowski argued it was grounds for dismissal..." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Let’s make sure they all hear about it…👇 You know what to do. 😎✨

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
