Boat derangement syndrome

So proud of my small little town protesting on the busy street near me! Thank you to all those folks in Indiana standing against the fascists in the state and country!

Newsflash, he doesn't give a shit about you or me.

Not a single Bond villain ever thought to destroy the world using import tariffs.

once again my strategy of "being too broke to own stocks" pays off

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

I mean, don't get your hopes up. It's clear all these systems, rules and laws we have in place to prevent dumbass presidents from gaining and keeping office - from the Electoral College to the 25th amendment - only work if people "feel like it."

These people are literally telling you “don’t believe your eyes”

😂😂😂

Senator Angus King: "I have to point out, Mr. Chairman, in the hour that we've been sitting here, investors in the United States stock market have lost two and a half trillion dollars."

"Goldman Sachs said Donald Trump's plan would make things worse"

This is not what wining looks like. 🤬

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

78 yr old retiree friend walks into my work today, tells me her retirement account down 85k today - in one day

go.bsky.app/E5uCkXH This weekend we are standing up and protesting. We are the people with the power, we will not allow anyone to take our rights away. Follow and support the cause

"Booker can help rebrand his party as less risk-averse and more willing to try … something. He can rebrand himself, just as the old and ineffective guard falters. Booker’s speech was raw and visceral and real and angry. He did something. Now his colleagues and American voters must do more."

I called and left a message to tell him what I thought of him. You might be inclined to do the same. Sen Jim Banks 1-202-224-4814

Do you think there's been enough damage by the Republicans at this point that the Democrats will get a supermajority in a couple of years? God I hope so. And it better not be "we're going to be responsible and not push anything through" this time.

Again.

At best, President Trump’s blanket actions today seem set to inevitably raise costs for Michiganders. At worst, they further us down the road to recession. Neither of these options are one Michiganders can afford. Read my statement on President Trump’s tariffs:

I just emailed Jim Banks to tell him to enjoy his one term and that the only clown here is him.

Bravo, Wisconsin! Well done! ❤️❤️

Mad respect for Cory Booker. RECORD: Longest Senate speech in history.

And there it is. Senator Cory Booker makes history-- the longest standing filibuster in US history at 24 hours 19 minutes and counting. Good trouble.

:: BREAKING NOW: Multiple polling places across Milwaukee are running low or have run out of ballots as turnout is at record levels. MKE Election Commission is aware and sending out fresh ballots. If you are in line -- or know someone who is -- ballots are on the way.

Today’s Election Day in Wisconsin, and it’s your LAST CALL to make a difference in the WI Supreme Court race. We MUST get Wisconsinites to the polls to elect Judge Susan Crawford. Make calls with us between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. CT:

Breaking: Cory Booker has officially delivered the longest Senate floor speech in US history, surpassing Strom Thurmond’s filibuster against the Civil Rights Act.

History in the making!

@booker.senate.gov - still going! History in the making! Good trouble!

substack.com/@robynelyse/... Good luck, Doc!

"So I confess that I have been imperfect, I confess that I have been inadequate to the moment, I confess that the Democratic Party has made *terrible* mistakes that have given lane to this demagogue." - @corybooker.com More of this, honestly, please. Acknowledge it. Please.

We support Senator Cory Booker in his effort to stop “business as usual” in the Senate during this time of crisis. Thank you, Senator 🙌. #CoryBooker #RESIST #SenatorBooket #StandUp #SpeakOut #RESIST #DoSomething #Obstruct #Disrupt #IDA-CO #Indivisible #Resistor
