I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

AOC is a force to be reckoned with. #Resist ✊🏽

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Nailed it.

I hope this putrid nauseating disgusting deplorable excuse for a human finally gets what he deserves which is very lengthy prison sentence. apple.news/AHZO57wCPQDK...

This is huge! Trump is ramming his agenda through now, so he can’t be stopped later—shock & awe. But look at these approval numbers—he’s underwater on our major issues. Public opinion is against Trump & his policies—his approval rating is historically low. It’s only going to get worse… MUCH worse.

"Could Americans still choose not to be led by a lying lunatic for the next four years? The 25th amendment says they could."

‘Go Woke, Go Broke’? More Like ‘Go Trump, Go Bankrupt’ Trump fired the Kennedy Center leadership, packed the board with loyalists, and claimed he was “saving” the institution. Now? Ticket sales down 50%, artists canceling, patrons boycotting. Turns out, MAGA loyalty doesn’t sell tickets.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Consent is a human right. It’s not a favor, not a choice. ❌ Dignity. Autonomy. Freedom to decide. 🕊️⚖️ No exceptions. No excuses. #HumanRights #ConsentMatters

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

Why is this not surprising?

So, the House Republicans published their official budget resolution today, which, as expected, calls for gutting Medicaid/CHIP. As a reminder, nearly 80 million Americans rely on Medicaid/CHIP for their healthcare coverage...nearly half of whom are children. acasignups.net/25/01/30/psy...

Ketamine is a helluva drug.

Trump keeps saying that Zelensky is polling at 4% in Ukraine. This is a number he pulled out of his ass, as usual. Zelensky is way more popular in Ukraine than Trump is in the US. In fact Zelensky is more popular than Trump IN THE US. His popularity has been going up recently. Trump's is going down.

There will be retribution. The incoming FBI director published a book that includes an enemies list. In a weird, backhanded compliment, he told Steve Bannon that I am an “enemy of the Republican Party. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

Hey Don, this looks like a forest you don’t want to mess with . . .

100%. You could have looked at Zelensky as a comedian/actor in 2019 and discounted him. But after almost 3 years of leading his country against the brutal aggression from Russia, he has proven himself to be a leader on par with Churchill, FDR, Lincoln etc. he is the current leader of the free world.

And most casual observers make the same mistake He can't be personally held criminally liable. That doesn't mean he can just ignore the Constitution

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

This drives me crazy as these people thanks to fake news either by local radio commentators or Fox News never told them this steam roller pile of shit was coming. They have no recourse.

“If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.” www.propublica.org/article/doge...
