Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

*This* is why they are freaking out about Zohran Mamdani.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Investigate Moscow Mitch 👉 Took Russian Millions 👉 Lifted Russian sanctions 👉 Blocked election protections 👉 Profit: $400M KY Russian biz (Failed) 👉 Blocked evidence at Trump trial (2019)

If Jesus returned and went to the USA they’d send him back to Heaven for all the anti-trump memes on his phone.

16 million Americans could lose their health care if the Big Ugly Bill passes. Mitch McConnell said they'll get over it. The person who loses someone they love, the mama whose baby loses care, the grandma who gets kicked out of her nursing home—they won’t just get over it.

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

AND employers.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Thanks for your vote of confidence…I guess?! Unlike you, I’d actually be focused on the American people—the issues they’re facing, making sure folks have healthcare, and consulting with Congress before dropping bombs on another country.

Felon Trump & Co-President Stephen "Sociopath" Miller falsely claim that due process protections like immigration hearings & appeals are too slow & allow undocumented immigrants to remain for years. People are being illegally disappeared. Who's next? app.sosha.ai/s/oujTfTMU #immigration #onyourside

And illegal.

Great 🧵

Folks can argue about the relevancy of the “Democratic socialist” label all day. But if that’s what you’re hung up on, you’re missing the larger point. People aren’t chasing labels. They’re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change. 🧵

Schiff: So Mr. Bove would have us believe that all those people are just making this up… Apparently, everyone has it wrong—except Emil Bove. I just don’t believe him. I don’t think anyone believes him. And today, he made it abundantly clear why no one should.

Ever since that orange motherfucker was elected the first time I scoff at my cardiologist every time he tells me I need to watch my cholesterol or it may kill me...🤷‍♂️

@meidastouch.com @lincolnproject.us @elevenfilms.com

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm. We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

Iwo Jima. We bombed the hell out of Mt.Suribachi for days. The dead Marines on the beach showed how ineffective it was.

He came from a fake boardroom, ran a fake charity, a fake university, faked his net worth, faked Time magazine covers, lied about crowd sizes, and ran on a fake law and order stance. Now we’re stuck in the rerun of a rigged reality show.

Oh

Why the FUCK is @cnn.com live-streaming Jeff Bezos’ wedding???????????

10 years ago today SCOTUS gave same sex couples the legal right to marry & the country did not collapse. 😜 70% of Americans now support same-sex marriage. However 32 states still have dormant bans that could be reactivated if Obergefell is overturned. The fight continues. #HappyPride 🏳️‍🌈

Yes. No.

Amid allegations of inhumane and unsanitary conditions in ICE facilities, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is taking further steps to continue skirting congressional oversight. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Come on, @padilla.senate.gov, you must do everything in your power to delay and disrupt the votes on the big, ugly Republican reconciliation bill! I am a constituent and when you and other Democrats fight, I will applaud you! #DemsGrowASpine #CallYourSenator #PGAS app.sosha.ai/s/8lNYsjrZ

Corporate journalism must change or die. The first changes need to be small—or change won't start at all. A good first step: correctly report that Mamdani is a democratic socialist and REFUSE TO PUBLISH any claim that he's a Socialist or Communist because that's false and therefore not newsworthy.

This is so f**king wrong

Don’t miss this! They are zip-tying people in wheelchairs. The regime is completely out of control! #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

You know who won't get over losing Medicaid? The 20,000-ish Bucks County seniors who rely on Medicaid to pay for their residential or memory care. When those elderly community members are homeless, we are pretty sure they won't "get over it."

Soon #mitchmcconnell

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

Of course newrepublic.com/post/197149/...

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

Insurrectionists hunt Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi to kill them... pardoned. Senior citizens in wheelchairs protest Republican Medicaid cuts... zip tied and arrested. Trump's America. 🇺🇸

You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

I hope the corrupt, geriatric establishment understands that their time is over. Retire now and retain what’s left of your legacy and life. Or die in disgrace.

MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious. Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

This “big, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2

If they ever scan my phone at the airport for anti-trump posts their heads are gonna fucking explode.

This will be a critical week for democracy in court. I founded Democracy Docket for times like this. It doesn't pull punches or engage in false equivalency. It's fiercely independent and always pro-democracy. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

*Democratic Party hastily commissions a study to figure out why so many people preferred the attractive, energetic, charismatic guy with the fun name to the disgraced vampire*

Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.

I never thought Mitch would get through the pearly gates before this, now I’m certain he will spend eternity with Limbaugh.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?
