Major news media aren't ready to say directly that Trump and Musk are pushing us toward a dictatorship, and by the time they come around to that fact, it may be illegal to say so.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

President Trump recently ordered the U.S. Mint to stop producing pennies, as each penny, he said, has "literally cost us more than 2 cents." But taking action on the penny or any other coin comes with trade-offs. nyti.ms/4kbvG2W

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

He lies as he breathes. We’ve never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever had a politician who lies like he does. He lies bcuz his voters let him lie. The $50 million in condoms to Gaza lie was disapproved weeks ago. Even Elon said last week it was a lie. But today, Trump doubled the lie to $100 million.

Climate change is moving faster than scientists projected & they're not totally sure why. One possible explanation is declining cloud cover. If that's true, we may be entering a feedback cycle that accelerates warming much faster than we've modeled.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are not just changing algorithms, or closing buildings, or pushing papers. They are hurting middle-class Americans to pay for billionaire tax breaks. It’s that simple.

Donald Trump is a traitor. He’s a traitor to our country. When I first said that publicly a few years ago, it was pretty jarring. It isn’t jarring anymore. Not at all.

Republicans will soon bring forward a “reconciliation” bill, that encapsulates the value system of greed and their obedience to oligarchy. It is the economic essence of Trumpism. It will make the rich richer & the poor poorer. It must be defeated. And we can defeat it.

Hey bros in my replies telling me to “cry harder”, 89 people were cut in the FDA’s human foods program over the weekend, including staff with expertise in infant formula safety. I’m sure that shit won’t affect you right? Not people you love? Infants you love? Just us Libs right?

BREAKING: The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals—made up of a Trump appointee, a Jimmy Carter appointee, and a George W. Bush appointee—rejected Trump's DOJ emergency request to lift a Seattle judge’s hold on his unconstitutional birthright citizenship executive order. So. Much. Winning

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

I've long complained that media won't call right-wing lies "lies." They use weasel wording like "inaccurate claims" or “a penchant for dispensing with the facts.” But I'm starting to think it no longer matters. Only fools believe Trump. The real problem is that so many voters don't mind his lying.

Trumpists will continue to be furious at any dissent no matter how much power they steal. That’s because the administration is premised on pathological insecurity. They’re shitty people, they know it, and they will never stop resenting being seen as shitty people.
