I’m a news & political junkie, media professional & lover of literary fiction. An independent in a red state w/ a family of Trumpers, I need to express myself (shout/vent/scream into the void) as we enter this new dark age of America. No DMs please!

I freaking love this for Florida. Gargling some salt water. Cough, cough. Thoughts and prayers for you in this difficult time, DeSantis

trump is the president of the US, but he talks like he wandered in off the street and someone handed him a news article and he glanced at the headline.

Trump then: I'll end that war in 24 hours Trump now: Never mind, we give up

Heartbreaking & genius political statement.

At this point, a member of the House could lightly edit the Declaration of Independence and offer it as an impeachment resolution.

Never again is now! We’ve no time to waste to change the course of our country! Call your members of Congress & demand due process for all, as the Constitution says! (202) 224-3121

📌I miss the days three months ago when we had the strongest economy in the world and murderous dictators were our enemies ...

We wanted to understand the Constitutional arguments in favor of ending birthright citizenship. So we talked to three anti-vaccine Jeanine Pirro viewers at an Arby's in Toms River.

This is so infuriating!😡😡😡

Breaking news, Senator Chris Van Holland met with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. I am utterly astonished! Somehow something worked!

Well, as a court you are being naïve. The Trumpers I know have been brainwashed by FOX to believe that the executive branch is supreme. They’re all for this because Trump can do no wrong. Now our courts are on defense to defend democracy. They are the last guard rail so I pray they keep fighting.

How bad are things in America right now? Pete Buttigieg grew a beard. That’s how bad.

This is pure extortion and authoritarianism. God help us.

When did we go from America to Amerikkka? Asking for a Nation

We’re getting into such dangerous times. Removing Powell at a moment of such utter national instability financially for the country will no doubt cause a crash of our economy and disastrous ripple effects globally as everyone gets out of US treasuries

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

#LockHimUp

Lisa Murkowski: “We are all afraid.” “Retaliation is real”. Oh, really? GOP senators helped create this monster and now they’re too chickenshit to stop him.

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT.

Holy cow, watching Rachel Maddow explain how universities are mounting a mutual academic defense pack to join in and defend themselves against Trump‘s moves. We are having to arm our social forces w whatever we’re personally allied w to fight our own government. It simply astonishes me. Jesus wept.

"You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it." - John Adams He is repenting so hard right now.

when did everything become terrorism

Chris Hemsworth: 6’3”, 225 lbs. Grandpa RICO: 6’3”, 224 lbs. 🥴

Keep watching bonds & value of American $$. This is not gonna stop without a bloodbath of some kind. Getting rid of Powell is the worst thing they can do to destabilize virtually everything globally. If China dumps their bonds, which they could, we are royally screwed. They’re the biggest holders.

THREE EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. It’s in our Constitution and at the very heart of our democracy. Article 3 establishes the judicial branch. It’s the job of judges to determine if the actions of the Administration violate our laws. Full. Stop. That’s how our democracy works.

We’re finally at George Orwell’s 1984, took us 30 years but it’s on now. Trump just lies & his people believe him. Just had drinks last nite w a Trumper who told me America is finally on the right path, approve of everything that he’s doing, stock market doesn’t matter, nothing matters but Trump! 😡

Six months apart. 🇺🇸 @economist.com

All 27 scientists at this CDC lab were told their duties were "unnecessary," and now viral outbreak investigations have been halted.

Say it with us: Constitutional crisis

How long before the Supreme Court finds that criminal contempt is an "official act" of the presidency and, therefore, shielded from legal reprisals?

The house always wins

Please explain…👇 I’ll wait. 😎

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

Depraved.
