We are living in a constant state of stress and fear. Where is Congress? What happened to checks and balances? Does the Constitution mean nothing? I'm so very tired.

So many threads to pull here; the atrocious grasp of history & geopolitik, the glib lie about how the war in Ukraine began, the disgraceful abandonment of European allies. But it’s the alignment with the war criminal Putin, no friend of ours, that sticks out. What won’t Trump do to harm us?

A scary era in America. Some of the words now banned by Trump's executive order - essential for scientific and medical research - include female, women, black, Latinx, bias, minority, indigenous, trauma. Lucky white males, all future medical research will benefit you. www.kpbs.org/news/economy...

I'm proud of the thousands who protested all across the country today. #50501 My hope is that the GOP will see that it has "awakened a sleeping giant." I spent yesterday and today calling members of Congress. Let's all make noise, #BlueCrew!

Trump is not just a dangerous megalomaniac. He is a STUPID dangerous megalomaniac.

tRump said the FAA allows mentally incompetent people to serve as air traffic controllers. There are other jobs at the FAA that could employ the disabled. If he believes mentally disabled people were air traffic controllers, then HE is the one with the mental disability! apnews.com/live/dc-plan...

Thank goodness! Trump only wants to get rid of the IGs because he wants to grift and steal and cheat and erase valuable programs - and suffer no consequences.

I have CLL - Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Much research has been aimed at fighting this cancer. I just learned that tRump has suspended all grants for cancer and other disease research from the NIH. I am beyond angry. MAGA, is this what you voted for? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The GOP is arguing that the 14th Amendment doesn't apply to children born here of illegal immigrants cuz the clause says "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof." So if they are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction, I guess we can't prosecute them for anything. www.commondreams.org/news/judge-b...

Trump's despicable executive orders were no surprise. Preserve our planet? No, Drill Baby Drill in protected areas! Jail insurrectionists! Nope, pardons for everyone, Grant people born in the US citizenship? Heck, we don't need no stinking Constitution! www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Get used to disappointment, MAGAts! Trump is going to break most of the promises he made to you! As for me, I will be happily spending time with friends and family enjoying a day with the TV turned off.

All Trump's cabinet picks are ridiculous, but the one that is most worrying is Tulsi Gabbard. That's like offering America's enemies the key to your front door. Wish I lived in a red state just so my phone calls to Senators would make a difference. Blue dots in red states, CALL YOUR SENATORS!!!

It is f**king DISGRACEFUL to use the tragedy in Los Angeles to score political points. Anyone who follows Truth Social or watches Fox News is being lied to. Remenber when Americans used to come together and offer support in a tragedy? I miss those days! gavinnewsom.com/california-f...

You have to watch this! Elizabeth May is fabulous! If you don't have the patience to watch the whole thing, start at 9:30 when she talks directly to Trump. Hilarious! And, as a Californian, I would love us to be the 11th province! youtu.be/dRZ54VTYN2A?....

Our founding fathers made a few mistakes when writing the Constitution. One of the biggest was not including few more qualifications for becoming president - like not being a felon!

Trump doesn't "rule out" using military force to take Greenland and Panama. He wants to annex Canada as the 51st state. This is like Hitler saying, "We need Poland for national security," or Putin saying the same about Ukraine. These are ALLIES. JFC, the man is certifiable...and DANGEROUS!
