Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?

Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees that if you fail to remember the past, you are doomed to repeat the Great Depression. And then you cannot blame it on President Biden, you loopy orange dipshit.

I find myself watching doomsday movies and documentaries lately. I've seen a tsunami, a volcano and tornadoes. They are taking my mind off the Category 10 shit show in the white house.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

It is utterly disgraceful that, more than 24 hours after hearing of 4 dead U.S. soldiers in Lithuania, trump still has made NO public statement about it. We know how he feels about his painting in Colorado, but not about 4 U.S. soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.
