If Biden called Zelensky a dictator and then 1 week later said “Did I say that?” everyone would be yelling how senile Biden is. But nobody does that with Trump because Trump is such an off the charts pathological liar. So we overlook how he’s also losing his marbles. www.mediaite.com/news/trump-s...

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Jasmine understands the assignment: "Everyday we show up for you. What we’re not going to do is stand around while they pull this bullshit that they’re trying to pull right now."

In a world full of cowering congress members, be a Rosa Parks. #Resist

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

This is your daily reminder that both Merrick Garland and Mitch McConnell can go fuck themselves forever and ever.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Ready for your next vacation in the Middle East Riviera? Just freaking insane….

If you’ve taken the oath to serve, today would be a good day to honor it.

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

WHERE THE FUCK IS DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP???

All the “there is nothing the Ds can do” and “this is what America voted for.” Please just stop the bullshit. I would expand but I don’t have the capacity to do so right now without teaching you a dictionary of new cuss words. I likely also don’t need a lesson on how to resist fascism. Thanks.

I think if we stare at this and pray we can manifest it. It’s worth a try. 👀🙌🏼

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

We all need to be paying attention.

I would much rather have qualified and experienced DEI hires than unqualified buffoons that suck up to the boss and don't know how to do the job or even care to learn how to do the job. But, that's just me.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."

Columbus Ohio. No one is safe.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

The sooner the better.

If you wouldn't let Pete Hegseth date your daughter why would you confirm his nomination to run the Dept. of Defense? Because Trump told you to? Seriously?

Love to see it

Will Hegseth receive the necessary votes approving his pending appointment as defense secretary ?

If she can do it, we can all do it.

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Evolution of Twitter

Epic courage here.

With pardons, January 6 offenders are now free to possess firearms and ammunition again. Their convictions would have made that a federal crime, but no more.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

The ethnic cleansing has begun. Next comes the pogrom……..

No lies told in this headline.
