Conservative Christians be like “i sUpPort TrAdiTioNal fAmiLy vaLUeS” by supporting a party led by two guys with 18 children between 7 women, dozens of sexual assault allegations (some found liable in a court of law), hush payments made to porn stars, and 34 felony convictions for business fraud.

The fact that Trump is siding with Russia and calling Zelenskyy a dictator is the latest tell that he is either compromised by Putin or so stunningly misinformed that it’s a shock he’s even able to have an opinion at all. I suppose it could be both.

Call your senators to oppose Kash Patel for FBI Director 🚨 Capitol Switchboard 📱 (202) 224-3121

Holy shit. Senator Dick Durbin, the Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee, has proof suggesting Kash Patel may have LIED under oath when he said he did not know Stew Peters, a right wing extremist who worked with prominent Neo Nazis. See below: Vote NO on Kash Patel!

Kash Patel lied to Congress, has clear conflicts of interest, and is being installed to weaponize the justice system for Trump. His final confirmation vote is scheduled for Thursday. Reports are that some R’s are still on the fence. The Senate main line is 202- 224-3121 🚨🚨 Light. It. Up. 🚨🚨

The greatest challenge facing our country at this point may not even be the astounding corruption that’s happening at the highest levels, it’s that half the country believes so strongly that their Dear Leader can do no wrong despite all the evidence in the world.

Not replacing. Just cutting. If Trump and Musk are so willing to gut air safety, what do you think they’re going to do to our hospitals? Our trains and buses? They’ve shown they’ll sacrifice our safety if it means lower taxes for them.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

We are in the midst of a political civil war and it’s time for Dems to act like it. We must be united in our opposition to what the GOP has become: a fascist party. We also must spell out what we’d do with power, and not just big government spending bills. We need a political revolution.

If we stop paying attention we let them win. If we give up hope we let them win. If we become paralyzed by fear or anger we let them win. If we stop caring we let them win. We WILL NOT let them win!

Trump firing the 300 people who oversee our nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile and then realizing the gravity of his mistake before trying to backtrack is a perfect encapsulation of how is dangerous incompetence is putting the entire world at risk. Don’t let anyone forget it.

The most corrupt administration in the history of the republic is waging war on the public sector and democracy itself, under the guise of fighting corruption, with corporate media and Big Tech enabling the torrent of disinformation that has brainwashed their supporters and divided their opponents.

Every action has an equal opposite reaction. What will the response be to the whiplash disintegration of decades worth of social progress & civil rights? 2026 is already right around the corner, but the bounceback can’t wait. Too much is at stake. Time for organized opposition at a mass scale. ✊🏽

Here we are folks. This is where they stop listening to the courts, when the courts make a decision they don’t like. When those empowered with enforcing the law are the ones breaking the law, what are you supposed to do?

If the goal of ‘DOGE’ were truly to expose corruption and save taxpayer money it wouldn’t have been preceded by the unlawful firing of 18 Inspectors General whose job it is to expose corruption and save taxpayer money.

Instead of gutting government programs that make the world a safer place we should be cracking down on ubiquitous tax avoidance by our country’s biggest corporations.

The fact that many in the media are reporting on the shuttering of USAID as a decision that has been made by Trump and Musk rather than an illegal attempt to dismantle an independent federal agency created by statue 60 years ago is playing into his perception of being a dictator. Do better.

The 1st Trump administration exposed there were cracks and gaps in our institutional norms; the 2nd Trump administration is showing that the foundational pillars of our Constitution have been hollowed out to the core.

One of the many tragic ironies of Elon Musk is that he is purportedly obsessed with colonizing Mars as a means to save humanity in the event climate change leaves Earth uninhabitable, while also hitching himself to the political party that is doubling down on the destruction of the planet.

Trump’s big takeaway from his meeting with Netanyahu today is that he wants the US to “take ownership” of the Gaza Strip and develop it after 2 million Palestinian refugees are deported to neighboring countries. I’m sure his plan has nothing to do with Jared Kushner wanting to build luxury condos.

Remember when a single senator, Tommy Tuberville, held up ALL military promotions for months and months, despite sustained opposition even from some of his Republican colleagues? We need EVERY DEMOCRATIC SENATOR doing EVERYTHING THEY CAN to slow down and stop this administration.
