Trump gangster government

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

"Six weeks ago, we had the strongest economy, employment, and stock market in history. ..All gone in 30 days."

The message that I would like us all to continue to drive home is that NONE of the madness we are seeing now was going on 2 months ago. NONE OF IT. Only ONE thing changed. REPS took power. THey own this global chaos. It’s all on them. DRIVE THE MSSAGE TO THE MASSES

Wise man…

REMEMBER: Next Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can do this. I'm IN, are you? 👋💙

A group of wolves is called a pack and a group of Nazis is called a CPAC.

All of our children & future generations of kids will know about the freedom we used to have when we talk about it w/ them. Too many ignorant & brainwashed Americans voted for a Felon vs voting for a strong woman who would've protected our Freedoms Blame all who didn't vote or voted for the felon

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

It’s a cult.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Good lord.

Don’t wait until the #midterms. Things can be done NOW.

For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.

Know why the US is $36 trillion in debt? Because the Republicans give rich people and corporations tax cuts, and we, the middle and lower class, foot the bill. Rob the poor to give to the rich. #VoteBlue2025 #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

Kash Patel’s confirmation to head the FBI is quite a contrast to what happened with Richard Nixon’s first pick, L. Patrick Gray, who Congress rejected for being to partisan & too close to the president—the same characteristics Patel possesses. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Best adjectives ever! (100% fitting) 👏🏻👏🏻

Truth! 👏🏻👏🏻

Always wondered what could possibly be worse than burning the FBI to the ground.. Here's my answer!

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

Drudge Report dubs the Prez Comrade Trumpski. MAGA, is that what you voted for? A coward bowing to Putin ?

Um...Is he okay?

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

They’re going to try and prosecute their political enemies

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."
