Seriously 🙄💥🤣

GOP leaders are now walking out of town hall meetings and being advised not to hold anymore of these meetings!

Russian brothels aren’t sending their best.

Reup: Trump's negotiations w/Russia simply continue, in plain sight, the very same efforts that were halted when FBI caught Mike Flynn undermining sanctions 8 years ago. www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/02/r...

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

Leaders of the free world stand united in London The United States is not among them

This MF’er just brought Andrew Tate, a rapist and human trafficker, to Florida! 🤬 The hypocrisy is astounding!

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

Slava Ukraini

Brutal.

Yup!

Be nice or go away.

They kicked the AP out of the oval to make room for this pathetic “journalist”.

Arend van Dam

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

This doesn’t exist and will literally save $0

BREAKING: House passes budget bill outlining $4.5 Trillion in tax cuts, $2 trillion in spending cuts and a two year lift of the debt ceiling. Final vote: 217-215. Republicans could not afford to lose a single other vote.

only the best. www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

House GOP proves they are all liars & hypocrites Did they listen to the anger of their constituents? Hell no! They are so beholden to Trump & Putin they must obey & march in lockstep like the good little #GOPFascists & #GOPTraitors Demand to know why? #VoteOutAllGOP

Impeachable? Feels impeachable.

Make America El Salvador

They’re called conflicts of interest one day, but corruption the next

Talk like a Nazi? Hang out with Nazis? Salute like a Nazi? You are a Nazi.

This appears to be the Musk/doge playbook almost to the letter. Yarvin says this in a podcast. “The speed that this happens with has to take everyone’s breath away. It should execute at a rate that totally baffles its enemies.” By “enemies” he means we the people! This has to be stopped asap!

The men said they were denied calls to loved ones, subjected to humiliating searches and left in isolation for prolonged periods.

Still on the White House website. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

After 3 surgeries, a blood clot, infection & being hospitalized for over a week, the moment I was discharged I rushed to the airport so I could get on a plane to DC & vote NO on Republicans’ disastrous budget plan. Rep. Pettersen traveled from Colorado with her newborn son so she could vote NO. 🧵

Never, in all my life, could I have imagined immigrants being treated this way. Going to the bathroom in buckets. Screams. Wanting to die. GITMO can now be included with Birkenau-Aushwitz as a concentration camp. FOTUS is Satan. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

He was too Black for the moment.

Elon getting ratioed on his own platform 👌

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

Zero Democratic votes for the Republican budget made to cut programs like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and food stamps to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Reject being the minority, embrace being the opposition!

Translation: We want to cut Medicaid.

Chair Comer just threaten to have the House Sergeant of Arms forcibly remove me from the Oversight Committee for calling out Grifter-in-Chief Trump for corruption and making money off of the American people.

Congressional Republicans tried to pull a fast one. They called off the budget vote that cuts healthcare for over 38 million children and just put it back up after everyone left to try and make some Democrats miss the vote. Many Dems are voting by card to keep the vote open. I just did mine.

👉🏻Republicans’ want to cut Medicaid that will limit access to lifesaving and life-enhancing health care, particularly for children, people with disabilities, and seniors. We can’t let that happen. Medicaid is a Human Right. Call your state Reps! ☎️ script👇🏻 5calls.org/issue/protec...

EVERY FUCKING WORD OF THIS! We have to take the gloves off! So listen up @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @democrats.org We are ready to fight! And if you fight, know that we will stand beside you every step of the way!

An inspiring article on courageous community college leaders who are *publicly* organizing and standing up against DEI attacks.. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

‘Free Luigi’ billboard has gone up in lower Manhattan the evening before his next court appearance. Sent in anon.

Her firing is outrageous.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked President Trump's executive order that sought to end government support for programs promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. LET’S FUCKING GO!!!! apnews.com/article/dei-...

"Trump abruptly fired Air Force Gen. CQ Brown as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Friday, sidelining a history-making fighter pilot and respected officer as part of a campaign to rid the military of leaders who support diversity and equity in the ranks."
