Extortion, pure and simple.

The headlines these days…if they’re not infuriating, terrifying, or both, they’re just insane🤦🏻‍♀️

This x10000000000 “In other words: We, the opposition, are the majority. Take heart.” www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

You know what word I’ve come to despise? “Baseless” The media always uses it to describe the utter insanity Trump spews. What a weak word. It implies that it could be true, we just don’t have the evidence for it yet. Bullshit. They’re lies. Call them what they are!

For 10 years now, MAGA has bought into every possible political conspiracy theory, no matter how minuscule or outright insane, to avoid the actual conspiracy right in front of them. It’s truly mind-boggling.

Last year, I suggested that we all become temporary Republicans and vote for Nikki Haley in the GOP primary. Not because I like Nikki Haley, but as an insurance policy. Because as much as you might despise Haley, I can guarantee you she wouldn’t be doing this. 1/

Well done, Canada! 🇨🇦

Do it…

🎯 I couldn't agree more with you @therickwilson.bsky.social.

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

All we had to do was elect a Black woman. That was it.

I’m a patriotic American.🇺🇸 I’m on Ukraine’s side.🇺🇦 I’m on Europe’s side.🇪🇺 I’m on Canada’s side.🇨🇦 I’m on Mexico’s side.🇲🇽 I’m on Denmark’s side.🇩🇰 We’re living in surreal times.

I feel like Respectable America is being held hostage by a combination of the: Apathy Confusion Fickleness Ignorance and Malice of a plurality of the American Electorate. They might as well be pointing it to the backs of our heads with a trigger on it. No escape opportunity from this in sight

I really truly despise our president. What a terrible human being. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Now THIS is a badass💪🏼

This is pure evil.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Shocking that a rapist would blame the victim of an aggressive invasion. 😐

Trump says Ukraine must hold new elections if it wants a seat at the negotiating table. Odd how Trump is not demanding Russia hold a democratic election for long-time dictator Putin to have a seat at the negotiating table.

I hope Marco understands how dangerous, dishonest and amoral Lavrov is. This is looking more and more like Trump/Russia payday for Russia.

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Rubio predicted everything, except his own role
