AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

This is EXACTLY how an opposition party fights back! THANK YOU, @vanhollen.senate.gov! Thank you for keeping this gross violation of due process and civil rights in the news! I can't tell you how much it means to see you fight like this. I'm so grateful for my Senators.

The corruption and capitulation is staggering. Clearly our corporations and ultrarich literally stand for nothing. They became as wealthy in the land of the free, but are unwilling to stand up for the very values and principles that made them rich. Truly pathetic.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

🧵 “Voters are not sufficiently alarmed by American democracy crumbling. Instead of accepting that premise, Democrats should try to change it. […] There is no question that the economic argument is the best-testing message, but focusing exclusively… open.substack.com/pub/messageb...

There’s a word for this, and it’s called bribery.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

🚨 BREAKING: China halts US beef imports and strikes deal with Australia instead. Billions of dollars wiped from US cattle ranchers’ pockets.

F47 is a human trafficker. The Supreme Court is useless.

Paying taxes with tears in my eyes knowing what they're paying for - disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp in El Salvador. What have we become?

Who is going to do something? This is Kim Jong-Un shit.

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

He lies about every fucking thing....

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

“DEI and medical education has always been really important to having equitable doctors and equitable healthcare,” she said. “If that’s not the environment that I’m going to be in when I get to medical school, I don’t want to be here at all in Ohio.”

JD us such a fuckup... "Vance – an Ohio State graduate – tried to lift the trophy. He didn’t appear to realize that the top of the trophy is detachable from its base. After a moment of struggle, the vice-president lost his grip on the two pieces... 1/2

They donated their brains to science. Then the Trump administration upended the system funding one of the leading Alzheimer's projects.

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

Economic uncertainty is approaching COVID levels. This time, Trump is the disease.

He's a liar and an idiot. S&P 500 is still down almost 8 percent year-to-date. Losses are due to Trump's policies and his chaotic implementation of them since mid February. Trump is a loser, and he is making us all losers. #EconSky

The Trump administration's incompetence is exceeded only by its malevolence.

Appreciate @ahmedbaba.bsky.social appear @johnfugelsang.bsky.social @siriusxmprog.bsky.social discussing dangers #project25 created by far right religious conservatives #resist

Trump lied to voters about his ties to Project 2025. After he won, he picked 11 Project 2025 authors, contributors, and advisory board members for top jobs. Now, nearly 2/3 of his EOs mirror Project 2025. Trump is twisting the federal government into a tool of the far-right. 1/2

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

Any Democratic politician who doesn't understand Nayib Bukele's grave offense against the sovereignty of the American people and constitutional order and say as much publicly should have no future in elected office. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bukel...
