Trump's cease fire wasn't a real cease fire and Russia violated it within hours. Trump is Putin's bitch

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet? 👇 Well, are you?! Better start. ✨

Donald, bring it. I’m so tired of your victimy whiney belly aching crap. You friggin won and you STILL are complaining all the time. BRING IT YOU SMALL LITTLE BOY

This is a terrible affront to the veterans posthumously dishonored and canceled and to their families. It is a pathological statement that the MAGA government cannot even accept inclusion in death. taskandpurpose.com/news/arlingt...

This is cruelty for the sake of cruelty. This is MAGA

Hitler dismantled the German democracy in 53 days. Thanks to @schumer.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov and friends trump dismantled ours in 54. You betrayed the Republic to help a B-list dictator come in second place. I'm ashamed of you and hope you are ashamed of yourselves.

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it. “We liked it over here,” one said.

I guess, Sweden is more grateful than we are for eight billion dollars and a long-term commitment to purchase parts and support for eighty-eight fighter planes. Who'd of thunk it. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Literally this happens when you get rolled @schumer.senate.gov

As an Illinois citizen and voter, I am proud to support @duckworth.senate.gov and nearly anyone who may choose to primary @durbin.senate.gov We need brave leaders like her. We don't need more weak old men cowering and serving robber barons and billionaire overlords. #ChallengeDurbin #PrimaryDurban

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power. It is another to hand it to him. I’m headed to the Senate floor now. To cast an emphatic “no.”

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

@schumer.senate.gov when you enable evil and attempt to mitigate the response to the evil, you have become the evil yourself. Congratulations Chuck you are now part of the Mar A Lago cult.

As a citizen of the United States, I would like to say that Starmer is an idiot. You can not underestimate the stupidity or duplicity of trump. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

The head of HHS is recommending a drug that treats bacteria, a Corticosteroid, and Alfalfa's Mom's favorite punishment to treat a virus outbreak.

Hulu is forcing me to , "choose my own ad experience ." ie. Pick which commercial to watch. That's like asking if I want to get kicked in the left one or the right one.

Here is the official Russian government interpretation of the deal Trump is offering Ukraine. It's like the old saying, "A broken clock is right twice a day." Even Pravda tells the truth once in a while. english.pravda.ru/world/161709...

At least Neville Chamberlain was just a fool and a coward. He didn't feel the need to be a corrupt traitor as well.

No measles fatalities for a decade, then two in the same outbreak. We can all be grateful that HHS is now run by a guy who doesn't understand his own medications and recommends better nutrition for infectious diseases. news.yahoo.com/rfk-jr-says-...

Marco Rubio says there are thirty million undocumented people in the US. ICE is currently booking around 600 people per day into detention. If one assumes that the border is closed and no one is crossing. The USA will be free of undocumented people in 137 yrs. www.tampabay.com/news/florida...

No mystery why they are the red party.

party time!!

RETWEET if you stand with President Zelenskyy against Trump and Vance!

The reason for the Oval Office argument, the orange idiot thinks he is playing reality TV. It's the reason he does everything. "All right, I think we’ve seen enough. What do you think? This is going to be great television. I will say that.” Donald J. Trump

In the last couple of weeks, I've been pissed off that I could only cancel the Washington Post that one time more times than I can count.

This shows my vintage, but it occurred to me this morning that the 1980s question, "Is he sponge-worthy," has turned into, "Is he really worth cooking an egg for?" We live in very strange times.

I will never forget what I saw today. No decent person will.

Trump is too much of a coward to say a bad thing to Putin, yet he dares lecture Zelensky? Russia is on the verge of collapse and Trump/Vance are desperate to save them

If they are firing 3400 people at the Forest Service who is going to be left to rake the woods to prevent fires?

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

The entire 2026 Tesla line will no longer be electric. They will be powered by engines that burn Soylent Green. I know this to be true. I cleared it with Facebook fact-checking.

In the wealthiest nation on earth, 25% of seniors should not be living on $15,000 a year or less. We should EXPAND Social Security, not cut it. I will soon be introducing legislation to significantly raise Social Security benefits and extend the solvency of the program.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

The richest man in the world is trying to starve the poorest children on Earth This is our sad reality

If ICE hits trump's ordered deportation rate it will take 20 years to hit the goal number. They are going at half the ordered rate. There was never any intent to keep promises. It was just more hate, lies, and venom

We are well into the Chancellor's first 55 days. Things are running right on schedule and according to plan.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

We stand Ukraine! Drop a 💙 if you do too!

@mkramer.bsky.social Seeing Carrboro in your profile made me smile. I'm in Chicago now but, lived in NC most of my life. From the Cat's Cradle to the Internationalist Bookstore, it's everything its next-door neighbor claims to be. Carrboro is one of my favorite places.

So, does this mean that Musk is now Baron Von Wankpanzer?

@mcuban.bsky.social I had a conversation with a coworker today. I told him I don't trust rich people. He said but don't you have to give everyone at least a chance. He was right. Why should I trust you?
