If someone isn’t parking a TACO food truck outside the White House, what are we even doing with this stupid timeline!?

Earlier I was tryna teach my niece about just going with the flow of a drawing, not worrying about how it was “supposed” to look, & ended up relearning the fun lesson myself. Of course no kid drawing is legit unless it’s colored in.

These tariffs are a Trump tax. Instead of putting a stop to them, Congressional Republicans are rolling out the red carpet for more.

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Trump’s appeasement of Putin is a disgraceful surrender to Russia, an outright betrayal of Ukraine, and a stark warning to the world that America under Trump is no longer the defender of democracy but a willing collaborator with a terrorist state. My latest...

The Trump Administration is breaking the law. Period. Never stop showing this. They are not “implementing unpopular policies” or “auditing the government.” They are breaking the law and ignoring the courts.

Biggest part of crooked Adams deal which is only barely being noted is that the charges aren't really dropped (not in the ordinary sense of the word). They're put on hold with the letter explicitly saying they'll be considered again after November. So Adams has ten months to perform for his freedom.
