We need to start recognizing Republican Nazism as an existential threat to our nation.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was established by Benjamin Franklin in 1775 when the Second Continental Congress appointed him as the first Postmaster General.

BREAKING: Canada defeats the USA to take home the #4Nations  Championship 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Canadian PM Justin Trudeau tweeted: “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.”

Grocery Prices are lower in Ukraine today than in America. 🤷 Zelensky would be such a great American President. 🙏 🇺🇸 🇺🇦

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

🚨 JUST IN: Canada DEFEATS the USA 3-2 to take home the #4Nations  Championship

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

Chants of "Bring back Pete!" Missing Pete Buttigieg. #TeamPete

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy 🥺🖤

No amount of executive orders can make us cease to exist.

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

Women belong in the kitchen. Men belong in the kitchen. Everyone belongs in the kitchen. Kitchen has Food.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

WATCH: “Musk is really good at getting government subsidies.” Since NASA bailed Elon out, SpaceX exploits workers in unsafe conditions & bullies Texas neighbors, leaving a trail of destruction. And now he’ll deregulate himself. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGRedci...

We're in a coup, which means we're in a nightmare, which means we're all ramped up, so let me offer you some deep time, perseverance, and beauty, before you and I go back to the work.

Its gnarly out there.. good time for a good oak.

Trump wants the House GOP budget proposal to be passed instead of the Senate GOP proposal. The Senate proposal funds border security and Ukraine. The House proposal cuts taxes for the rich, cuts Medicaid and Food Stamps, and raises the debt ceiling by $4 Trillion.

That’s how you write a headline, people.

I am part of the 25%. The lifestyle change is worth it. This is the way…

And so it begins with RFK Jr…just as measles outbreaks in states are at an all-time high thanks to anti-vaccine sentiment. apnews.com/article/chil...

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Here’s part of Pete Buttigieg’s 1:23 post on other platforms.

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.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Dear @nytimes.com: If *you yourselves* know that what Trump is saying is nonsense, put that in the headline.

🚨Senator Tammy Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed House budget resolution & paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid." Medicaid affects 70M+ Americans. THIS WOULD BE DEVASTATING!🚨

Dark Pence is back.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to have Pete Buttigieg's salary reduced to $1 in November 2023. Does she think Sean Duffy should keep his job if planes can't manage to stay in the sky?

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Jim Acosta: I think the AP should consider whether or not to sue the administration… and the rest of the press corps should start seriously considering whether it’s worth sending everyone into the Oval Office, onto Air Force One, or into the briefing room.

Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded an FBI task force investigating foreign influence operations, including those targeting U.S. elections. Additionally, she restricted enforcement actions against individuals who fail to disclose lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.

Emergency Video: will Congress do to itself what they are demanding of other departments? Cut congress’ budget and shrink THEIR staff now!

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

G’morning Monterey Bay, blue sky. #CAwx #Sunrise

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

🚨 FLASHBACK: 2011 🚨 In 2011, Congressional Republicans cut their budgets to reduce government spending. 💰✂️ Now, under the Trump Administration’s efforts to reduce spending, who in Congress is willing to do their part again? Will they cut their budgets or keep spending YOUR tax dollars on waste?

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

Bring back DEI already. This is getting absurd.
