Trump is trying to sell his domestic policy bill with lies. Let’s break them down. Trump said, “We’re not doing any cutting of anything meaningful. The only thing we’re cutting is waste, fraud and abuse.” False.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

I have only seen @repdangoldman.bsky.social speak to the unlawful use of masks by ICE agents. We demand a response from dem leaders❗️Hold a hearing - sanctioned or NOT. ICE now posing as TEP (electric company) in Tucson. Enough of the lawlessness! I want accountability from Congress.

They literally have to put cartoons in Trump’s daily intel briefings because “he doesn't read!” What's next, reformatting his intel brief into a coloring book? MAGA's stupidity will kill us all.

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

I have a request for all major accounts covering the Orange Reich: Once you've identified the latest outrage/crime/hypocrisy/etc., PLEASE ALSO mention things people are doing to fight back. MANY brave people are doing so, but they hardly get ANY air, so they're can't inspire people to join them.

Authoritarian leaders often engage in "pardon sprees" not out of mercy—but as a deliberate tool to consolidate power, reward loyalty, punish enemies, and erode public trust in democratic systems. These patterns have repeated throughout history across different countries and regimes. (1/16)

It’s extra important for GOP senators to hear from their constituents right now. While Republicans try to gut life-saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts, tell your senators to reject Trump’s Tax Scam and stand up for the families they were elected to serve. 👇
