The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices. We hammered this time and time again and yet.

A time for ‘a look inward’, if ever there was one…👇 Thanks Canada, for a reminder that needs to be said, out loud! Introspection. Defined. ✨

This is who has the keys to our US Treasury now. Are you ok with this, America? This is a coup.

Perfectly captured.

“Make no mistake, what’s happening right now is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private agency operating with a broad mandate and no concerns for the stability of the United States or the interests of the average American.”

When you’re an oligarch, they let you do it. You can do anything…. grab ‘em by the Treasury. You can do anything.

Americans are about to learn some economics.

unfortunately for these folks the odds are that they aren’t going to go after violent criminals at all — too hard — and going to go exclusively over the easiest targets, which are law abiding workers

🤷‍♂️

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Holy shit, Senator Michael Bennet just SHREDDED this conspiracy nut job RFK Jr.

Yes he did! I'm on Social Security, I usually get my check on the 29th or 30th. Hasn't hit the bank yet! 😕

Another broken Trump campaign promise... Democrats slam Trump for not making good on promise to ‘immediately’ lower food prices...

Wow RFK Jr. just perjured himself on live tv

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.

Odd, how living in the most ridiculous days of human history aren't even good for a laugh.

No notes

At least 15 Indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico have reported being stopped at their homes and workplaces, questioned or detained by federal law enforcement and asked to produce proof of citizenship during immigration raids since Wednesday, according to Navajo Nation officials.

Black and blue or back the blue?

Nothing screams “constitutional crisis” like taking a week off in your district, vs coming to dc and making lots of noise and showing some fight

Every day so far is just some version of “do we still have that one load bearing law that protects the system from abuse? Maybe not!”

H5N1 Bird Flu Spreads Rapidly Through California Dairy Herds The USDA has confirmed that five more dairy herds in California are infected, bringing the total number to 732. As of now, 74% of the state's dairy herds have tested positive for the virus.

Senator Ron Wyden at RFK Jr.'s Senate confirmation hearing for HHS Secretary: "The nominee wrote a book saying that people had been mislead into believing that measles is a deadly disease." He's unfit.

this is how it feels to reach 30 MILLION users!!!

Kimberly Gargoyle was horrified to learn she's not in the musical 'Grease', but rather in the country Greece.

Jamie Raskin is the first person to respond to my emails and calls regarding the fiasco shutdown of the federal government (I heard today that NIH staff on a tour at Johns Hopkins suddenly had to stop in the middle of their visit and leave because of this stupidity).

Lulz🤌🤣

(former heroin addict and apparent steroid user who now looks like a boiled catcher's mitt and sounds like someone who gargles hot tar) "I just want Americans to be healthy!"

Of course the new Propaganda Barbie of Blatant Bullshit Press Secretary lied when she said we were sending “$50 million worth of condoms to Gaza”, but hey - she was wearing a great big giant cross when she said it so it’s fine.

Checking in on breaking news right now feels like taking a big long breath before rushing into a burning, smoke-filled house to try and save family heirlooms and important documents.

"Nobody says the B word"

Donold’s approval rating has fallen sharply since being inaugurated. 👍

It's Wednesday... And on Wednesdays we're ferocious! 😂🖤 🎥Animalantics

Wake-Up for Wednesday. Today's brilliant sunrise in Chicago.

Messaging is their only weapon. So they need to get good at it

I'll say it again-every time I hear RFK Jr speak I miss Katherine Hepburn.
