Thank you Greyhound!

There's only one person who's allowed to enter someone's home without a warrant, and that is Santa.

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

I LOVE this !!!

Maybe he is both.

Yeah, Chuck. We paid into Social Security over our decades-long career. SS is not an "entitlement." It's a benefit we paid for.

🧵 This Yom HaShoah, I honor my Hebrew school teacher, Ann Jaffe: Holocaust survivor, educator, & the kindest souls I’ve ever known. At 9, I listened as she told how her family hid in a forest for 2 years. She showed us her tattoo—burned into her skin. I beg you: listen to her story. Say Never Again.

WTF? How about someone investigate the Crypto dinner at MarALago that requires attendees but $Trump crypto.

My name is Jonathan Treble. I'm a father, business owner, and the Democrat ready to flip Arizona's 1st and bring back real leadership to our district. I can't do it alone. Can you repost this, give me a follow, and help me take back this seat and take back the House majority?

Bro, this is gonna be so embarrassing for you, and you deserve it. 🫡 Maybe before you talk unmitigated shit to a woman who has more military experience in one of her ovaries than you have in your whole shrivel little man body, try Google.

Another criminal grifting Republican politician. Are we surprised? Does the RNC run a grifting school?

What makes POTUS think he can tell Harvard how to run their university? Reuters: "Trump administration says Harvard may lose ability to enroll foreign students" - www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

"You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it." - John Adams He is repenting so hard right now.

So you can take over Greenland and Canada but can’t send a plane to pick up someone you are paying another country to hold for a year? Weird take on sovereignty.

Hey, news media. The women who traveled into space on the Blue Origin flight are not "crew." They were passengers. They did not go through years of training to fly a spaceship. Nor did they sit at controls. They were strapped into seats. Passengers.

Today feels like a great day to enact the 25th amendment.

If I was paid to march last Saturday, why hasn't my check arrived yet?

Look at it this way: at this rate there is no way anyone ends up with enough money to buy Greenland

www.cnn.com/2025/04/05/p... Elon’s DOGE is expected to come for Homeland Security next — with cuts to critical agencies like the Secret Service and FEMA. Our national security is NOT a game, and Elon sure as hell shouldn’t be the one playing it.

The recent White House Executive Order on elections mirrors the SAVE Act before Congress. Both would add unnecessary barriers to voter registration and silence the voices of American citizens. We have filed suit to stop it. Full statement here: www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

pro tip: if you can afford to blow $250 million on a losing campaign in Wisconsin, you can afford to pay a 90% top tax margin

Get this idiot out of our government!

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

Tesla's lifetime profits stand at $7B, a fraction of the government subsidies received by the company so far. Maybe if you didn't subsidize psychopaths to the tune of billions and billions they'd do less damage -- they're certainly not able to sustain themselves independently

This needs to be said more and loudly.

The Yankees won by almost three touchdowns

Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long. Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

More gov't waste. Thanks, JD, for spending our taxes dollars.

Oh, come on! How long does the USA need to put up with this jerk as DOD secretary?

Curious — how much fascism has to happen before the mainstream media acknowledges it’s fascism? Because it seems like we should have crossed that threshold weeks ago.

“‘It is safe to say that anybody in uniform would be court-martialed for this,’ a defense official told CNN. ‘My most junior analysts know not to do this.’”

Wisconsin—ignore the polls & get your ass to the voting booth on Tuesday. Elon Musk is dumping millions to turn out a group that usually stays home—voters that the pollsters didn’t account for. Don’t let the richest man on Earth buy your state to serve his own interests. Show up and shut him down.👀

This will make you smile because, lord knows, we need it right now.

Before you get too excited because there are some Republicans going after Hegseth, remember, this allows them to look “reasonable” and not have to attack Trump
