Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

That’s how you write a headline, people.

Does this qualify as an emergency yet or should we check the polling in swing districts first

Yes! Please! I always see yelling fire in a crowded theater as an example of the limits of free speech. When the theater is actually on fire, it becomes a moral imperative to use Our voice. We need 11M of us coordinated and actively, non-violently resisting to end this

Z seems to be going into these negotiations as someone who is very aware of what he is dealing with in the American president.

This is the best idea I've seen today. What do YOU think?

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Never before has there been such a gang of Republican politicians so willing to sell their souls for their own reelection at the expense of the rule of law and the health, safety, security and freedom of their children, grandchildren, constituents and country.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Where does the accumulated debt of this country come from? It comes from Republican Presidents. So much for Republican's being the party of fiscal responsibility, all to pass their tax scam. #DemCast #GOPTaxScam

Elon is a criminal.

In December, the @nytimes reported a blockbuster scoop: Elon Musk and his SpaceX company had repeatedly failed to meet federal reporting requirements designed to safeguard national security despite being deeply entangled with the military and intelligence bureaucracy. newrepublic.com/article/1913...

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

YESSS Thank you AG James

Who needs to study cancer or heart disease? No way. Not when you can funnel all that money into tax breaks and government contracts for the oligarchs.

Bingo. Nailed it.

This is a coup. This is not a drill. Billionaire mobster is overthrowing our democracy with blessing of a convicted felon “president”.

Here are the accomplices responsible for Trump stealing the election— each billionaire made billions more — and communities most in need get even poorer. Big Tech bought the election — inauguration PIGS!!!

We must not allow this to succeed.

Nearly half of adults worldwide harbor antisemitic beliefs, with an even higher prevalence among young people. These numbers are a grim warning of increasing political instability, which threatens democracy on a global scale.

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration? 👀 👎

We suck. The USA is the laughing stock of the world. I’m embarrassed to be an American.

This is so damn true, and now Donald Trump’s gonna come in and smash it all.

🎉

On a very deep and fundamental level it seriously hurts my brain that WHY this has happened isn't immediately obvious.

Trump went from helping the middle class to annexing Canada There is something seriously wrong with this man

Gavin Newsom made a website to fight the misinformation about the fires. Give it a read. REPOST gavinnewsom.com/california-f...

here's today's post: "elderly convict won’t stop running his ignorant mouth about the LA fires" — and the media continues to fail us. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

This is irrefutably true. Let’s see how long it lasts.

Joe Scarborough 🙄 The false equivalence and suggestion of civility in light of Donald Trump‘s behavior is obnoxious, ridiculous and rich. Some of us have standards, Joe. @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

As January 20th draws near I just want the rest of the world to know WE DIDNT WANT HIM EITHER

This is gonna be fun…

VP Harris and Secretary Clinton—two people who have dedicated their lives to this country. I’m eternally grateful for both of these amazing public servants!
