Rumpelstiltskin, spinning straw into gold for other people. I have a solid understanding of why you need to restart your cable modem from time to time. TOC has taken over the republican party. Views my own. No DMs.

He nails it.

Shocked, I tell you. Shocked. 🙄🙄

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

WORD!

The US military may very well be the last hope.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

WaPo Page One: “If you’re going to just yell at me, that’s not going to be an effective town hall,” McCormick said .. “But we’re pissed!” a woman shouted. #GA07 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Given the tRump regime criminality, the republican legislative inaction, and the now compromised DOJ and FBI, I too am in favor of this proposed action.

Political cartoons reveal the truth in funny, yet harsh ways. Doonesbury was the earliest for me. Tom the Dancing Bug is excellent for our time.

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

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

The blue state governors should really research the possibility of intercepting their residents’ federal income tax withholdings and keeping them in-state.

There really should be massive penalties for attempting to undermine the US constitution. I’m thinking capital punishment.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

This is really the right-leaning New York Post’s cover this morning.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

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.

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

🚨 Today's top stories: 📉 Trump’s approval is dropping—57% say he’s exceeded his power, 62% say he’s not honest 💰 GOP budget slashes $888B from Medicaid 🇺🇦 Trump spreads Putin’ lies about Ukraine 🚀 Musk calls to defund the ISS Get ALL the news ⬇️

Hey congressional Republicans, still waiting for you to announce how much you’re cutting from congress’ own $6.5 billion budget….

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Methinks there is deadly coercion involved with respect to republican legislators. www.alternet.org/msn/trump-ti...

We must show up to each and every public appearance of the regime’s henchmen and get loud like this.

🚨 NEW: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy went to California for a photo op against a state-federal high-speed rail project. Instead, he was drowned out by boos as crowds rallied for the project. Maybe he should focus on keeping planes in the sky instead of staging stunts for the Dear Leader.

This week two GREAT examples of Democrats punching Trump in the face: 1. Ill Gov Pritzker to Trump: “We don’t have kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one” 2. NY Gov Hochul: "New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years. We sure as hell are not going to start now."

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

A reminder that Nikki Haley endorsed, supported and voted for Putin’s puppet. Just shut the fuck up.

“It took the Nazis 1 month, 3 weeks, 2 days, 8 hours..to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the 5-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it.” -Gov. Pritzker www.americaamerica.news/p/rooting-ag...

You’re not meeting the moment @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social The moment must be met. If you can’t see it - get out of the way. If you’re scared - get out of the way. If you think you’ve got it, you are deeply mistaken- get out of the way. We’re going down. Get out of the way.

If you’re so convinced it’s an innocuous salute, why don’t you film yourself doing it and pop it on your LinkedIn, Facebook, Insta, and set a still of it as your WhatsApp profile picture

The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. We have guardrails to stop a rogue president. But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared. Wait for the final irony. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.
