Trump lied about Project 2025. We knew it & his voters didn’t give a shit.

Lawrence explains the PERPETUAL LIE that Trump tells about tariffs. The EMBARRASSING thing? Trump told the lie to the WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM! Unlike those at his rallies, these people know better. IDIOT! 🗣️Pls share with someone who doesn't follow any political news. www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

Chuck Grassley has held public office since the 1950s. He’s never had a real job or ever done any real kind of work and he’s almost 100 years old. Conservatives are the epitome of lazy, just good for nothing free loaders.

"Trump returns — and so does his astounding ignorance" This is a most important point #FOTUS is a profoundly STUPID & IGNORANT man He is also lazy, a pathological liar, narcissist & sociopath He has no idea what his orders mean & HE DOES NOT CARE 100% @danamilbank.bsky.social wapo.st/3WzJb2a

Deportation flights never stopped. The Biden Admin deported about 1 million people per year. Republicans never talked about that because it didn’t fit their narrative, and Democrats never talked about it because they feared it would anger part of their base. So ignorance ruled.

The joke is on us.

America is the laughing stock across the globe but the pain about to be inflicted upon us all here is no joke but rather a horror story. I feel sick upon waking each and every day since January 20th.

Yeah…. Had read about that “minor” footnote yesterday. It was almost lost in the fire hose of crazy news coming from those executive orders.

In a nutshell... "Biden pardoned January 6 police officers, Trump pardoned January 6 criminals." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

@aoc.bsky.social You would be perfect as the top spot on the Oversight Committee! You have my vote!

I wonder if the federal work force should go on strike the day after the inauguration just to make a point. Shut it down and show the country how important they are for all Americans, not just a minority of billionaires

NEVER FORGET: Senator Lindsey Graham wants to raise the age of ELIGIBILITY for Social Security to 70 which = a 21% CUT. Tell EVERYONE! 😡🔥

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.

And just like that, they no longer care how much your groceries cost.

Is it possible that the Senate Republicans will actually step up and be the guardrails to Trump’s lunacy that Kelly, Milley et al were? It’s a rhetorical question. Here’s praying…

Leak the report. Pass it on.

In government, JFK’s favorite line was “a rising tide lifts all boats.” Trump and his nominees intend on puncturing holes in these boats, department by department. I hope you have a life jacket!

Lulz

The craziest thing about this whole bigoted garbage is that we don’t actually know that Mike Johnson has a penis or that Nancy Mace doesn’t.

At this point, democrats have to concentrate on stopping the ones that will do the most damage. Forget the distraction nominees. Focus on the serious threats. Gaetz, Gabbard and Hegseth remain the most problematic.

This is an amazing chart! Let’s keep this handy and do a side-by-side in your years. The difference will be astonishing.

Ethics Cmte Chair Michael Guest says there was “no agreement” today on releasing the Gaetz Report. What a liar. All Dems want it released. Republicans are trying to cover it up. We can’t let them. Dems must make the report public. Enough of these games.

There is a fake account that is in no way affiliated with Speaker Pelosi pretending to be her. I reported it the other day and it’s still up. @repnancypelosi.bsky.social It would be great if you all could give me a hand in reporting it. ❤️

Jeffries: This is the lesson you've drawn? From the election in November? This is your priority? That you want to bully a member of congress? As opposed to welcoming her to join this body?
