So press secretary whatshername today said "60% of the criminal injunctions in this century." But he's done 100% of the Presidential criming in this century. So doe that mean hes ahead by 40% or that rule of law is down 40%?

I try to keep the language on here… PG… but in this case i can’t. You, Trump, are a traitorous piece of shit

Can anyone please explain on what planet does this "budget" nonsense make srndr?

If the media reports on this chaos for the sake of accountability, freedom honesty & transparency & something does not happen then T-Rump and his minions can undermine the media as crying wolf, being inaccurate etc. So what do you think the citizenry can and should do to counter this?

All of this chaos might serve to confuse, shock & awe people into submission. Nicole Wallace on her show today brought up a far more insidious and intriguing possibility: to undermine the media.

Else the media and indeed the legislature and the populace will abdicate our responsibilities to each other, our communities and our country. Can we put it all on the media as many politicians do when the media is understandably giving its consumers what they want? We as a people need to do better

He lies every time he opens his mouth. Ergo, instead of presuming honest until proven otherwise we the people need to joint the media in flipping the script. We need to assume he and the Repooplicans are lying until proven truthful. Only then can we prepare for what lies ahead.

Democrats really need to get it together. T-Rump claims he is "a unifier." That's the only thing he's EVER been right about. He's taken a party that couldn't agree the sky is overhead and unified it into a seemingly unstoppable torrent of havoc unleashed on the unsuspecting populace.

Then there's the quote about "cleansing Gaza for oceanfront condos." Caught on tape by AP. Is anybody listening who didn't vote for Kamala because she "didn't care" about Palestinians?

Have they filed off those words on the Statue of Liberty yet? Maybe they'll ship that back to France and charge them freight.

Then we have the avian flu and no effective Health Department. That's a part of HHS which also administers HUD. I hope I'm wrong on this but if they don't reopen it but they permanently gut it, there's gonna be helluva lotta homeless people for them to pick on.

Deportations are supposed to rid us of the "criminals." Thiss according to the former criminal defense attorney of one Donald Trump. To quote the excellent Joy Reid, "Irony, how you mock us."

Hey Dems! The Repooplican Party is moving on. So should we. We've been given much to work with. 3 issues for 2025--pardons that make us less safe. Then Social Security and housing—the real economic issues before our economy is Made Rancid Again. So much more! Tough decision but we gotta unify.

So it seems our local police forces now belong to Mump. Since I can't shoot straight even if I owned a gun, should I just bar my door and pray? Not a lot to work with when convicted felons are talking about and are now legally able to get "m-----------g" guns and vigilante justice is encouraged.

@lastwordmsnbc.bsky.social Welcome, Lawrence! I listen every night. Love your show! Keep speaking truth to power, we need you!

"I wish you Godspeed" . . . from a judge to a defendant at a sentencing. Now, that's one class act!

So "DOGE" admits it won't find its $2B after all. What a surprise.

There's been a lot of BS circulating about vaccines lately. FACTS FIRST: The life expectancy at birth in the Middle Ages was around 35.

Repost if this is our 48th PRESIDENT in 2028 😉💙 #voteblue

ahh the life of a Sky...my 3 mo old primping & molting. If you pray we'd like everyone 2 think of & pray for Madison, WI after the shooting there this morning.

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

Just hearing about the new polio epidemic they are going to cause when they outlaw vaccines. Anybody remember the Tea Party and the uproar over the "death panels" they were going to have because people were living too long? Never thought I'd say "yeah, those were the days".

I think it's going to be a very interesting year. I have so much to feel thankful for that I previous took for granted. Thank you, DJT for making me realize who I really am. I am an American. I am a White woman. I am a Progressive. I am a Ukranian. And I am fricking scared to death.
