Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Ruhle: The left-leaning podcast MeidasTouch has just done the unthinkable—dethroned Joe Rogan to become the country’s most popular podcast…

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

I'm reposting Mike Pence. The whole world is upside down

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.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

I'm feeling nostalgic for competence.

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

Food head at FDA quits citing Trump administration’s mass staff cuts. Jim Jones, who joined Food and Drug Administration in 2023, says layoffs would make it ‘fruitless’ to continue in role. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

That’s the ticket. Show up in court, with your Bar licenses on the line, and answer a judge’s pointed and specific questions on how this deal went down.

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."

If you voted for a scam artist to be president, don’t bitch about being scammed.

I don't think it is *too* much to ask on Presidents Day that we, once again, have one who isn't an emotionally damaged idiot.

Dismissing FEMA employees during disasters and FAA employees in the wake of an unprecedented series of airplane crashes seems like a terrible idea.

Elon Musk fired Twitter employees and Twitter crashed. Elon Musk fired FAA employees and planes crashed. Not a quick learner.

My hot take is that we shouldn’t be calling them oligarchs. Yes, it’s accurate, but it’s also not a word too many use. They’re corrupt billionaires stealing from the working class. That’s what we should say.

This caught fire on X.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

Protests FEb 17th and 28th black out!

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

The fact that NBC can (accurately) call the Administrative Procedure Act “obscure” just shows how little Americans know about how their government works. It literally is one of the most important laws ever enacted by Congress.

There’s still some morons who thinks he’s the greatest 🙄🙄

NY State's small donor public financing program dramatically boosted the voices of everyday NYers in 2024. 50,800 in-district small donors ($5-$250) contributed to candidates for the legislature, more than 2x the number in 2022 (19,829). Analysis:

MAGA: Daddy showed them Rest of the World: Dumbasses 🤣🖕🏻 🤭🤣 #SheShed

Just saying.

Justin Trudeau and Claudia Sheinbaum are playing political chess while Trump plays with himself.
