As I'm reading the comments, I'm adding to my previous post, be very careful not to become what we're fighting. Don't work against your own interest just to say I told you so to the masses. That doesn't get our country back. That's putting hate for others over your own self-interest.

We're where we are today bc people's hate for others was stronger than their desire to look out for their own self interest. No, not just MAGA, low information voters, too. We will only make it out of this dystopia if we stop judging and start listening. Empathy & compassion are the only ways back.

ICYMI: We know Trump is Elon's jester, but he desperately wants to be king. @therickwilson.bsky.social and @mayaonstage.bsky.social dissect Trump's delusions on the latest episode of The Breakdown: youtube.com/watch?v=7FmI...

Republican Senators who voted for RFK Jr. have the best healthcare in the world, paid for by you. They don’t care about what’s going to happen to your kids, your parents, or you.

Y'all Is it just me or does this seem to be happening with unusual regularity since January 20th? Make flying safe again! 👀😯 www.azfamily.com/2025/02/19/2...

I don't know how Republicans forgot this

"Inflation is back" - Trump, the guy who promised he would lower prices on day 1

Something about history repeating itself ... I guess Trump is lucky that many MAGA disdained school and learning and likely missed this in class.

"I spent past year and a half with The Lincoln Project... There, I learned some of the hard-line messaging tactics R's have used for decades to defeat Dems. R's know how to define opponents early, sharply, and relentlessly—exactly what Dems need to do." Must read: 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 bsky.app/profile/evel...

Today's a great day for Vladimir Putin. He finally has an asset at the highest level of US intelligence, and he’s laughing. Tulsi Gabbard, known in Russia as "Putin's Girlfriend", is now in charge of our intelligence apparatus. America is being weakened by Trump and his administration.

If you are going to stay in fighting shape, you've got to put the weight of the world down sometimes. Go learn something new. Go sit in nature. We have to put the oxygen masks on ourselves before we can help others. Taking a mental break is important to the resistance as well. #SelfCareSunday

Yesterday was tough. It marked the one year anniversary of argument before SCOTUS on Trump's ballot eligibility. Our argument was strong and we were prepared, but the justices just had no stomach for it. Let's hope they show more backbone as cases against his administration's overreach proceed.

Pro-tip: Get yourselves a dgaf GC and friend like Mario and don't ever let him go.

Donald won the election, but at what cost?

As a former staffer, I answered hundreds of constituent calls. These calls do shape how Reps vote and make decisions. I made a list of all the Senators by state with contact info for each of their many state offices. Let's flood the zone with our outrage. quartzevelyn.substack.com/p/senate-con...

Trump is on an imperialist goose chase threatening Canada, Greenland, and Panama with annexation. Why? Because he doesn't want you to pay attention to his disastrous cabinet picks that are moving through the Senate this week.

Y'all, the tariffs are a big deal. But hear me out, they are a distraction from what is really happening right now in our government. 🧵

#CouplonMusk paid about $250m to help Trump win the White House. He is getting access to the personal information of 334.9m Americans. And allegedly storing it on private servers. That is less than $1 per person. To sell America out. nymag.com/intelligence...

“This all fits in with the Project 2025 goal of shrinking the nonpartisan federal workforce and replacing those employees with political supporters, the types of people who will bend the federal government to Trump’s will.” @mollyjongfast.bsky.social is right, and it should scare you. bit.ly/3WLLJdH

Um, hi. Congressional Democrats, exactly WHAT IN THE FUCK (!!!!) ARE YOU DOING?! Can we PLEASE wake up and get this foreign actor the God fearing fuck out of our government?! What exactly are you waiting for? Here is your actual formal invite to this fight. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

Hey Dems, Imagine just how much the GOP would be freaking the fuck out if Obama or Biden had allowed Soros access to all treasury payment and taxpayer data. Because they’d be right to freak the fuck out. So, freak the fuck out. Now would be good. XOXO Timmer

He loves posting his Ls.
