Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Finally. Universities with backbone. Thank you, Harvard and Princeton. Well done! Courtesy of Amy Siskind

While we were distracted by a bunch of other shit, this was/is happening 5 out of 10 regional Head Start offices closed. eu.freep.com/story/news/e... Women are being forced to be pregnant & have babies, while any resources they may need are being axed. 😞

☎️ Your House Rep & Senators use U.S. Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121. 🗣️Give operator your zip & they will connect you with your elected's office. Make clear you are a constituent. ✏️Write out a concise message BEFORE you call. You can use the same message for all your electeds. #SaveDemocracy

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - President Lyndon B. Johnson

Historian here posting for no reason at all. U.S. Constitution, Article II Section 4: "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

"Wouldn't it make sense to prosecute him?" -- even Fox News thinks it's suspicious that Karoline Leavitt can't cite any actual evidence justifying the administration's deportations to a gulag in El Salvador without due process (note Leavitt claiming "this administration is doing things differently")

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Hi friends! It’s been quite a week, if not a day. I have so many things to say throughout the week but not much time to say them, so tonight I am going to say this: 1) Congress is on recess starting on Saturday which means they should be in their home districts. Dems are planning to hold town halls

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

Looks like the “ArT oF tHe DeAl” is in full effect!

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

We even got Clarence Thomas to come out against Trump’s BS 😂

YES! 🙌 Do it! We all know that’s exactly what they did!

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

The Trump administration cut funding and staffing at the program that oversees the federal government’s premier report on how global warming is affecting the U.S., raising concerns among scientists that the assessment is now in jeopardy.

Hey Asheville and Buncombe County - make your voices heard. April 17 at AB Tech.

He literally tweeted: This is a great time to BUY! Just hours ago. And then he paused tariffs. He’s literally committing crimes in front of the entire world. 😳
