He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution. Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.” Translation: No. Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

We’re behaving like a failed state and embracing lawlessness, cruelty, and corruption. The White House proudly displays images of men on its lawn who have not received due process. History will remember us as the nation that sold out democracy in exchange for money and power.

Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about

The same shit, different assholes

I'll post this until the MAGA movement no longer rules USA. Stand up against fascism - you don't want to repeat the failure of Europe in the 1930's. #resist

He’s weakening our country. He’s weakening our economy. He’s weakening our alliances. He’s weakening the free world. He’s weakening our influence around the world. And Putin keeps smiling every single day.

Pete Hegseth is treating the Pentagon like it’s a Fox News set—ordering a makeup studio while leaking sensitive information in Signal chats. This is what happens when you put clout-chasers in charge of national security.

Never.

🚨 I have just introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump. Donald Trump is not above the law, and when he ignores the constitution, he should be held accountable.

I’ll never get over how many in the media seem surprised that a con artist is charming in person. That’s like #1 in the list of grifter qualifications.

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

Some employees at the National Institutes of Health say federal funding cuts at the agency have slowed or halted some work on childhood cancer therapies, dementia, and stroke. An NIH insider, who asked us to conceal his identity due to his concern over reprisal, spoke about the impact of the cuts.

lSlS terrorist, Talal Abdulrahman Al-Mu'adhadi, used to rape Yezidi women in Iraq and Syria and trafficking them and he killed people without accountability. He returned to Kuwait after being injured and teaches sharia on YouTube and Tik Tok!

Adam Kinzinger on the arrest of a Wisconsin judge: "This is nothing but fascism."

An emergency protest action is happening now in Milwaukee over the arrest of Judge Dugan. #Resist ✊

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration. This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power. It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

What often strikes me here (Europe) and in US is how financial institutions, enterprises and official people are shocked by the tariffs w.r.t. Trump. How often do you hear the same talk about what's most shocking with Trump/MAGA - the destruction of the democracy and society? #resist

People… they all used the same playbook. Trump is not an original - he is a poor copy! “Make America Great “ was Ronald Reagan’s tagline! See? Even the red hats are stolen! Wake up MAGA- you have been conned!

Turnout was huge for the protests, even though it’s a holiday weekend. Hundreds of demonstrations in all 50 states, DC, and in other cities across the world.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-69d

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

Trump: I will end the Ukraine war in a day. Rubio: We have been trying for 87 days with no end in sight. Empty promises. Dangerous incompetence. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/w...

Phrases dealing with climate, women and security have been rephrased in new NATO legislation, in a bid to avoid retaliation by the Trump administration.

US will abandon efforts to end the war in Ukraine if it proves impossible to broker meaningful progress in the next several days, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. He also said that US advises EU to drop sanctions on Russia to reach a “deal.” ..So all you did was align with Russia for nothing?

Gotta say one thing for trump. He works fast. Usually it takes a Republican 4-8 years to destroy the economy.

Tell the truth. Reinforce reality. Tell people we can win.

Trump’s approval rating is now lower than the previous record lowest for this point in any presidency — that was held by him, in his first term.

Space tourism is, at best, folly—silly, spectacularly wasteful, pointless by definition. And Katy Perry was the perfect celebrity to do it, @elcush.bsky.social writes: https://theatln.tc/CVNBxdTg

. Karoline Leavitt: where fake Christianity meets full-time propaganda. She lies for a living, calls it “glory to God,” and cashes a taxpayer check to gaslight the very people footing the bill. KKK Barbie strikes again. .

'Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in, according to Berulis' disclosure. The attempts were "near real-time," according to the disclosure.' www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

The Trump administration has lifted sanctions on Antal Rogan, a close ally of Hungarian PM Viktor Orban, previously accused of corruption. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that keeping Rogan on the sanctions list was contrary to US foreign policy interests. 🤷‍♂️
