Rep. Al Green Files Impeachment Articles, Cites Trump as Threat to Democracy in ‘Dear Colleague’ Letter. Watch Rep. Al Green's floor speech by clicking: youtu.be/05S_2DLsK8M

From Air Force One to Air Force Sloppy Seconds. Thanks, Qatar!

I agree with Speaker Johnson. No one should wonder whether a lawmaker is advancing their own financial interest or the public interest. It makes no sense for lawmakers to own individual stocks. Just ban it. Members of Congress shouldn't even have the appearance of conflicts.

If a Democratic president were openly & repeatedly saying that neither the 14th nor the 22nd amendment constrained him, the country would grind to a halt, the NYT & WaPo would have 96-point font front page headline articles, & the Senate impeachment trial would already be underway.

What happened in Wisconsin is an example of what is most feared: That in a true democracy regular people have more power than a billionaire, that all the money in the world doesn’t change one person one vote.

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊

If I was a stripper my stage name would be Nate Silver cause of how bad I am at working a pole

Goldman Sachs, Jan 21: "Despite Trump’s comments that the 25% tariff will be implemented in 10 days, we continue to believe the odds of a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico are low (20%)." Why have analysts been caught so flat-footed by Trump doing *exactly what he said he would*?

I know this takeover of our country by obscenely rich and racist sociopaths is scary, but Kamala Harris changed her position on fracking or something.

Yes this is exactly what you think it is

This chyron, via @atrupar.com, should go in a museum.

Mild-mannered Tim Kaine becoming one of the sharpest, angriest Dem senators v Trump has been an interesting twist.

America is under attack by the President of the United States

You guys need to see this and take it in… Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

The vice-president a week ago. “Obviously.”

Today's the day.

It is not "hard," it is unconstitutional.

Remember two months ago when stern fact checks were being issued to Kamala from the media for linking Donold to Project 2025? God remembers.

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.

This time around, the Kennedys are assassinating us.

i swear to god circles are some of the roundest shit i've ever seen in my life

Good morning. Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

There’s a Norwegian version of the idiom “like a fish out of water” that translates to “like a Dane on skis.” And an old Norwegian phrase for someone sneaking out of a party without saying goodbye is “making a Swede of oneself.” Conversely, a Finnish euphemism for vomiting is “speaking Norwegian”

Looking forward to learning how appointing an accused child-sex-trafficker as AG and a suspected Russian asset as DNI will lower the price of eggs

One of these kinds of days.

Pertussis - better known as “whooping cough” or “100 day cough” - is no joke. It can be terrifyingly fatal for small children (they just stop breathing without warning). When it’s not fatal, it can mean 100 days of coughing fits so severe that rib fractures are common. It is vaccine preventable.

Welp. This just happened. I don’t do anything on twitter really so this is crazy. Seals the deal for me. I’m finished with that trash.

Walz: The other side spent a lot of time promising that they would leave things up to the states. I'm willing to take them at their word for that. The moment they try to bring a hateful agenda to this state, I'm ready to stand up and fight for the way we do things here.

COVID killed empathy for many people. There was a brief period of collective concern and action, but that quickly turned into grievance and frustration; prioritization of personal comfort and enjoyment over common benefit. We emerged a more selfish country and the politics have followed suit.
