Whoa

WATCH: Senator Merkley and other Dems say the anger towards Dems that caved is justified. Senator @johnfetterman.com , on the other hand: “What’s fighting? What does that mean?”

Peggy Montes started Bronzeville Children’s Museum, worked to elect Mayor Harold Washington and sought to empower, inspire women: “I said, ‘Why is there no celebration of women and what women do?”

📌NOTE: Pay attention to these relentless attacks on @apnews.com by the authoritarians in the White House, who are trying to bury us in dangerous propaganda. 📌AP is a straight-down-the-middle news source, which keeps its eye on power. Much of the media uses their stuff because it is rock-solid.

This speech cannot be fact-checked, because he is 25 minutes in and has yet to say a single honest or accurate thing Even the fact-check so far would take hours

Appalling

Such a sad statement but true

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

At some point very soon, republicans in Congress will have to choose between pleasing Trump to avoid being primaried, and helping their constituents to avoid being primaried.

I am alive because of SSRIs. Millions of us are. RFK Jr. is spreading lies claiming antidepressants cause school shootings and calling people on meds addicts. This rhetoric fuels stigma and puts lives at risk. 💥 We fight to live. Read more: www.motherjones.com/politics/202... #SSRIsSaveLives

NEW: @apnews.com has now been barred from an event in the Oval Office because it "did not align its editorial standards with Trump's EO renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America." In other words, b/c @apnews.com ACCURATELY calls it the "Gulf of Mexico," it is now being punished by Trump.

This tweet is setting up the Trump administration to thrust the U.S. into a constitutional crisis and obliterate our system of checks and balances as we know it.

Outrageous.

Trust me, bro.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

Oh, so true. George Lakoff, please help!

F◇U◇E

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Corrupt billionaire immigrant Musk and his 20 year old surrogates who broke into the U.S. Treasury and illegally gained control of computer systems financial data belong in prison for espionage.

Eye roll alert

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

For fucks sake. We didn’t lose because of the price of eggs. We lost because Republicans SAID it was the price of eggs. Now they’re dismantling government, stripping rights, starting trade wars and Dems are saying “look at the eggs!” Leaders lead! Stop chasing their bullshit! Focus and fight back!

Absolutely no surprise

Great question

📌QUESTION: How can a private citizen, with zero govt. clearance be walking through the doors of OUR federal departments and the treasury, ransacking the places, stealing information, and NOBODY is stopping him? 📌And what the fuck is law enforcement doing right now? 📌THIS IS A COUP.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

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"

Please repost to join this apt apology to our neighbors.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

With a massive purge of the FBI/DOJ underway, who is going to stop him from ignoring the verdict of a federal judge? The Supreme Court? The Constitution?

If the FBI gets purged of almost all of its agents, they will be replaced. The current vetting process for agents is onerous. But that can be changed, and there’s really nothing stopping a director from handing every Jan. 6 pardonee, or any other yahoo, a badge and a gun (and TS clearance)

Get Elon Musk out of government. Now.

About the presidency, Harry Truman famously said “the buck stops here.” Trump is trying to pass the buck and blame everybody but his administration for the DC plane crash. This is a time for consoling the families and investigating the cause of this tragedy, not shameful finger pointing.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he has not spoken with the air traffic controllers who were in the tower at the time of the crash. What exactly is he doing then?

🤦‍♀️

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Preach, sister!
